Togo Emergency Covid-19 DPO 2021

closed

The development objectives of COVID-19 Crisis Response DPF for Togo are to: (i) strengthen the crisis response framework for better health outcomes, (ii) mitigate the negative poverty and social impacts of the crisis; and (iii) lay the foundations for economic recovery. This DPF is aligned with the government’s response plan and complements the recently approved COVID-19 Emergency response and systems preparedness strengthening project. It also complements the on-going Togo Fiscal Management and Energy Reform Programmatic DPF Series, helping to enhance fiscal and debt management. The emergency DPF is well aligned with the government’s response plan and is organized around three interrelated pillars. These pillars are also consistent with the framework of the WBG COVID-19 response approach paper and with the pillars of the country’s FY17-FY20 country partnership framework (CPF): (1) Pillar 1 supports reforms to protect live; (2) Pillar 2 supports reforms to protect livelihoods; and (3) Pillar 3 supports reforms to protect the future.
