"The programme is important for Togo because it allows us to engage in outreach activities with the population. [...] We have seen real engagement on the part of the population which knows today that they can cosponsor personal initiatives with other available resources, which they mobilize through a project that they initiated and sustained by themselves."

"We have benefited from by the Small Grants Programme in 2010 to support agricultural production and to improve soil productivity for the future. Thus, this project allowed us to care for our farmers and to fight against food insecurity while also improving income."

"SGP is important for Togo because it is unique in that it is the only programme that is open to the initiatives that are not of interest to other partners for these kinds of projects. [...] So this program provides an opportunity for all those who want to initiate environmental preservation or conservation activities. They can benefit from SGP resources to improve the environment and to also improve their lives."
