Admittedly, there is a plethora of policies, strategies, plans and programs related to the forestry sector, but through this forestry policy, the Government would like to place particular emphasis on the establishment of a specific strategic framework for the management of to meet the many challenges aggravated in recent years by climate change. This document, of forest policy, thus marks a new beginning, an awareness and a commitment of the Government to reverse the trend in order to reach 30% of forest cover by 2050 while improving the local governance of forest resources.. The National Forest Policy, which will guide our actions for the next 25 years, clearly displays its objectives which are, among others, the improvement of the institutional and legal frameworks of the forest sector; the promotion of sustained forest production; restoration of degraded natural forests and conservation of biodiversity; the development of new forestry partnerships; the development of forestry research... These are all challenges that the government of Togo intends to take up together with local communities, the private sector and civil society, for the social and economic development of our dear homeland.
