TOGO
Transforming Lives in Togo
In the last three decades, Togo has seen a 3% reduction in forest cover, primarily due to agricultural practices and fuelwood consumption. With only 22% of the population having access to clean cooking facilities in 2020, urgent intervention is needed. The mortality rate of 250 out of every 100,000 people in 2016 underscores the health risks posed by household and ambient air pollution.
