The objective of the Additional Financing (AF) for the Emergency Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Energy Project is to increase access to infrastructure and urban services in Lome. The achievement of this objective would support the Government of Togo (GoT) efforts to demonstrate concrete improvements in the lives of its citizens, a critical step for sustaining social and political stability in the country. The AF will scale-up basic urban services in some of Lome's poorest communities, which is fully consistent with the project development objective. This AF will further strengthen management capacity and extend network coverage of basic urban services in Lome's eastern neighborhoods as a rapid follow up to the original project that has improved services in the beneficiary neighborhoods. The AF is fully compliant with OP/BP 10.00. The project outcome indicators remain the same, although the targets have been adjusted upwards to reflect the additional activities being financed. Activities undertaken in component one related to drainages and urban roads will be scaled up to strengthen project sustainability.

The development objective of the Integrated Disaster and Land Management Project for Togo is to strengthen institutional capacity of targeted institutions to manage risk of flooding and land degradation in targeted rural and urban areas. There are four components to the project. The first component is institutional strengthening and awareness rising. This component supports institutional strengthening: capacity of key national, regional, local, and community organizations engaged in disaster risk and sustainable land management (DRM and SLM) will be strengthened through the provision of equipment and training; and awareness rising: awareness about the risks of flooding and land degradation will be enhanced through targeted information campaigns at national and local levels. The second component is community-based activities for adaptation and sustainable land management. this component supports community-based activities in watershed and flood-prone areas: resilience to flooding will be strengthened through targeted pilot activities at the local level that will enable communities to better manage disaster risk and land degradation; community-based activities in cropland and grazing land; community-based sustainable forest and wetland management: communities will be assisted in preparing sustainable financing plans and in designing small income generation activities in and around select protected areas and forests to reduce pressure on forest resources and restore ecosystem services. The third component is early warning, monitoring, and knowledge systems. This component supports Early Warning System (EWS): A nation-wide EWS will be developed to alert communities of upcoming possible flood events and allow them to take appropriate actions to protect lives and property, through enhanced collaboration and communications between the national hydro meteorological services and the Togolese Red Cross; and environmental monitoring. The fourth component is project management. For the project to be effectively implemented, project management functions including fiduciary management, monitoring and evaluation (M and E), technical supervision, reporting and audits, will be covered under this component.

This program document a Fifth Economic Recovery and Governance Credit (ERGC-5) to the Republic of Togo in the amount of SDR 9.1 million (US$14 million equivalent). The ERGC-5 deepens the implementation of Public Financial Management (PFM) reforms and shifts attention towards structural reforms to enhance competitiveness. PFM reforms focus on priority areas identified as weak by recent analytical work. As more development partners become active in PFM, the ERGC shifts attention towards areas in which the World Bank has a comparative advantage: structural reforms. The ERGC-5 will strengthen the cotton sector through measures that improve insight in the cost structure of the cotton company that lay the foundation for attracting private investors; will improve the management of the electricity company; will provide a clear path towards a competitive telecommunications sector; and will support the privatization of four state owned banks thereby generating revenue for the government and putting the banking sector on a more solid footing. The operation is a stand-alone; future operations are expected to be part of a series. The proposed operation seeks to provide financial support to the Government to meet its financing needs and to facilitate the execution of the ongoing reform program.

The development objective of the Community Development and Safety Net Project for Togo is to provide poor communities with greater access to basic socio-economic infrastructures and social safety nets. There are three components to the project. The first component is community subprojects. This component will continue to rely on a Community-Driven Development (CDD) approach to promote community development by financing two subcomponents: the first subcomponent is infrastructure construction and rehabilitation. This subcomponent will continue to facilitate beneficiary access to improved health, education, water, sanitation and other socio-economic infrastructures. It will finance approximately 170 basic infrastructure subprojects of a maximum cost of US$60,000 each (average of US$35,000 per sub-grant). The second subcomponent is income generating activities. The Community Development Project (CDP) facilitated 150 income generating activities (IGAs) that benefited small groups of people within the targeted communities. An evaluation carried out prior to project appraisal concluded that, overall, results were satisfactory and this sub-component should be continued, albeit with some adjustments. The second component is social safety nets. This component will contribute to establish the essential building blocks for a national social safety nets system by financing two subcomponents: the first subcomponent is labor intensive public works. Labor Intensive Public Works (LIPW) represents an effective safety nets mechanism to protect the poorest households from the consequences of a shortfall in revenues due to seasonal unemployment, decreased economic activity or loss of jobs. The second subcomponent is pilot cash transfers. Cash transfers have proven to be highly effective and efficient in reducing long-term vulnerability in contexts similar to Togo. The third component is management and operating costs. This component will finance the salaries and operating costs of the five regional implementing agencies and of the Technical Secretariat as well as all monitoring and evaluation activities, information and communication campaigns, the financial and technical audits and other consulting services.

The objective of the Fourth Economic Recovery and Governance Grant Program is to improve governance, transparency and efficiency in public financial management as well as advance structural reforms aimed at strengthening key sectors of economy (phosphates, cotton and energy). The operation directly supports two pillars of the Interim Strategy Note (ISN) and provides financing for budgeted fiscal needs during 2011. The reforms supported by the operation are critical to the Government's ability to use public resources efficiently and effectively to support the country's economic and social recovery. The reform policies supported by this grant are closely aligned with Togo's Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) covering the period 2009-2011. The PRSP was adopted by the Government in July 6, 2009 and presented to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and International Development Association (IDA) boards in November and December 2009, respectively. The grant is also in line with the Bank's interim strategy note for Togo for the period FY08-10 presented to the IDA board on May 29, 2008 and complements the assistance provided through the IMF Extended Credit Facility (ECF) program, the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the European Union (EU) budget support operations, and the Enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative. The operation will provide financial support to the Government at a crucial juncture, after the country has reached the HIPC completion point in December 2010.

The objective of the Additional Financing (AF) for the Emergency Urban Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Energy Project is to increase access to infrastructure and urban services in Lome. The AF will scale-up basic urban services in some of Lome's poorest communities, which is fully consistent with the original project development objectives. This support has become urgent in light of the difficulties Government of Togo (GoT) has faced as a result of the unusual rainfalls in the fall of 2010 that caused significant damage through flooding of most parts of the city of Lome and the rest of the country. In addition to responding to an emergency, the additional financing will enhance the development impact of the original project by further strengthening management capacity and extending network coverage of basic urban services in Lome's eastern neighborhoods that suffered immense damage related to the flooding. The additional financing is processed using the streamlined procedures of operations policy 8.00, rapid response to crisis and emergencies.

There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is support to investment climate reforms. This component aims at improving critical aspects of the Togolese investment climate. To do so, it will focus on two Doing Business indicators (starting a business and registering property). The second component of the project is support to the development of entrepreneurial capacities. This component targets micro and small firms (MSEs) that are the primary source of job creation in Togo and it aims at developing the entrepreneurial capacities of MSEs through targeted and practical business training, coupled with matching grant for registered (formal) firms and mentoring for informal (also referred as 'traditional') ones. The third component of the project is support to the development of a new Free Zone. This component will support the Government of Togo to develop a new Free Zone, in lieu of the existing one, to ensure that the Free Zone yields important economic benefits to the country (notably in terms of revenue contribution and job creation).
