Global Institute for Green Growth: Togo's membership finally validated in Seoul
During its last Board of Directors in South Korea, the Global Institute for Green Growth (GGGI) validated Togo's membership after a good three years of waiting. The West African country will now benefit from the technical and financial support of this institution which was created in 2010 to accelerate the ecological transition in the world.
Togo becomes the 48th member country of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). It joins seven other African countries including Angola, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Senegal, Uganda and Zambia. Its membership was recently validated by the intergovernmental organization (IGO) whose mission is to accelerate the ecological transition on the planet.
“Together, we embrace a common vision of a resilient world with low carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable growth for all ,” says the GGGI, headquartered in the city of Seoul. in South Korea. This new step should allow Togo to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
This will be thanks to the technical support (support for the adoption and implementation of green growth plans) and capacity building (private sector coaching) that the GGGI offers to its partner countries. The final objective is to make sober and profitable investments. But in turn, the Togolese government will have to integrate ecological requirements into its various national public policies.
These requirements will also be valid for future members whose applications are being evaluated by the GGGI teams headed by Frank Rijsberman. To date, these include, for example, Comoros, Ghana, Benin, Morocco, Mozambique, Sudan, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Tunisia and Madagascar, to name only the African countries.
