Togo - Capacity building to reduce SLCP emissions from the waste sector, with consideration of gender

This project responds to a request by Togo’s Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources to provide capacity building to reduce SLCPs emissions from the waste sector, with consideration of gender.  

The capacity building would be for key government representatives and experts in planning and implementing measures to improve Togo’s waste management system and mitigation of SLCP emissions. The capacity building would ensure that there is a gender balance among the participants that will be trained as well as the trainers.
