Togolese agriculture is taking a major step in its modernization with the implementation of a new agricultural insurance pilot scheme. Supported by the Project to Support Young Men and Women Entrepreneurs on Job-Creating Value Chains (PAJEC), this bold project testifies to the State’s pragmatic vision to protect its vital forces in the face of climate upheaval. The notice of expression of interest launched by the authorities marks the launch of a protective initiative, tailor-made to secure the work of young farmers and women leaders in the rural world.

This innovative coverage directly targets the nation’s vital sectors: maize, soybeans and rice. By indexing compensation to weather hazards and by including protection against epizootics affecting poultry and small ruminants, the public authorities are erecting an essential financial shield. The real feat lies in the complete digitization of the mechanism. The integration of direct payments into beneficiaries’ accounts and the deployment of an information platform dedicated to climate change illustrate a strong political choice to combine food sovereignty and digital transformation.

This progress is at the heart of the PAJEC, endowed with 28 billion CFA francs and supported by the African Development Bank and the YEI MDTF Trust Fund. Far from being an isolated act, this pilot scheme reinforces an impressive investment dynamic. Between BOAD’s recent support of 15.3 billion CFA francs for community resilience and the regional facility granted by EBID to promote climate-smart agriculture, Togo is emerging as the undisputed leader in environmental adaptation in the sub-region.

The selection of the competent service provider, expected after October 14, 2026, will concretize this masterful progress. By transforming climate vulnerability into an opportunity for banking and technological structuring, the government offers young entrepreneurs the necessary guarantees to invest, produce and prosper sustainably.
