Work Detail

Request for proposals for Conceptual Site Development Plan, environmental and social impact study and land preparation he Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) was established as an intergovernmental organization with the objective of promoting sustainable development of developing and emerging countries including the least developed countries. GGGI is dedicated to supporting the creation and diffusion of the model of economic growth known as green growth. The green growth model integrates economic growth, environmental sustainability, poverty reduction and social inclusion. PROJECT BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: In Togo, limited access to essential services, low income-generating activities to boost the rural economy, and lack of business opportunities are part of the main drivers of poverty in rural areas. Efforts to improve the access to health care, safe water, and proper sanitation are needed when in rural areas, 65% of children below 59 months suffering from diarrhea have no access to the healthcare treatment in a health facility, and the prevalence of malaria among children aged 6-59 months is 57.2%. In the Maritime region, the deficit of drinking water infrastructure and the high rate of drinking water supply infrastructures breakdown push about 30% of the population to rely on unimproved water sources (unprotected wells, unprotected springs, surface water). Education statistics show that the enrolment rate of children at primary school is 74.1% in urban areas while in rural areas, it is 62.1% It is within this context, that the GGGI Togo office, in discussions with national stakeholders and government officials, was able to identify the proposed project on Developing Socio-Economic Infrastructure to Sustain Rural Communities in Togo. The overall objective of the proposed project is to support a sustainable transition to rural areas with profitable solutions supporting the development and well-being of local communities. The specific objectives are to: - Increase the agricultural production value addition in a sustainable manner with improved postharvest solutions. - ensure clean water accessibility for rural communities with improved rainwater harvesting systems. - improve living conditions with eco-friendly essential infrastructures and - empower youth and women for the transformation of rural areas into zones with profitable solutions catalyzing the local communities development and well-being. This project includes the following outcomes: a combination of post-harvest solutions with waste recycling as livelihood diversification through the implementation of two solar modules for post-harvest processing and the development of income-generating activities boosting the circular economy for locals at the community level (outcome 1); equipment of communities with eco-friendly essential infrastructures and drinking water facilities for the rural communities (outcome 2); capacity building of youth and women communities in green businesses development and management through green businesses incubator program (outcome 3) and project management, monitoring, and evaluation (outcome 4).
