SITUATION OVERVIEW

• In 2026, Togo continues to face a combination of security, climatic and economic chocks. In the most northern regions, the spillover of the Sahel conflict heightens insecurity and triggered significant population movements, including 49,287 refugees and 10,171 internally displaced persons, as of January 2026.

• Recurrent climate shocks including irregular rainfall, localized flooding and land degradation continue to undermine agricultural production and household food stocks. These climatic stressors combine with persistently high food prices, driven in part by the global repercussions of the Ukraine crisis, reducing access to nutritious food for the most vulnerable households. Limited infrastructure and insecurity in border areas increasingly affect access to markets, services, and assistance, exacerbating vulnerabilities.

• WFP's response directly aligns with the Country Strategic Plan (2022-2026), addressing these challenges through crisis response, resilience building, and system strengthening. Activities contribute to Strategic Outcome 1 by ensuring crisis-affected populations maintain access to food and nutrition; Strategic Outcome 2 by supporting smallholder farmers, home-grown school feeding, and community resilience; and Strategic Outcome 3 through enhanced national capacities for emergency preparedness, supply chain, and service delivery.
