In support of the implementation of the Emergency Programme to Strengthen Resilience in the Savannah Region (PURS), the West African Food System Resilience Programme (FSRP) in Togo distributed agricultural inputs and tools to 1,727 market garden producers, including 719 women from the Savannah Region and the Kéran Prefecture, on 24 August 2023 in Dapaong.
Aimed at improving the productivity of the targeted farms, these inputs and tools, estimated at more than 613 million FCFA, are made up of certified tomato, chilli and onion seeds for each producer; market gardening tools (spraying machines, wheelbarrows, watering cans, rakes, shovels, hoes, cutters, etc.), fertilisers and biopesticides.
As a beneficiary, Mrs Minlékibé does not hide her joy: "I am particularly moved because the FSRP project that I heard about, I had never imagined being a beneficiary. But today I am one. I would like to thank all the partners for the support they have given us, and I would like to express my gratitude to the Head of State for allowing these tools to reach us.
Regional and central directors, coordinators, and local and administrative authorities from the region present at the official distribution ceremony for the agricultural inputs and tools encouraged the beneficiaries to make good use of them in order to improve their production and therefore their income.
