TonFuturTonClimat aims to strengthen the capacities of Burkinabe, Togolese and Beninese youth in rural areas in order to combine environmental responses and socio-economic development, notably through the construction of entrepreneurial projects, technical training and the strengthening of associations of young professionals.

• Since 2017, YourFutureYourClimate has reached 436 direct beneficiaries,12,500 indirect beneficiaries, and 155,000 individuals. TFTC has enabled 11 youth associations to develop resilient practices through a variety of interventions, including:
• Solar-powered drilling and drip irrigation system in Burkina Faso of 1.5 hectares.
  26,500 seedlings, including forestry seedlings and seedlings with economic value planted in Benin and Togo.
• Development of composting in the three countries (production of 9,363 kg),
  114 people trained on improved stoves, including 3 artisans on the design of metal components, production of 143 improved stoves for domestic use and 25 stoves for food processing.
• Strengthening of the economic activities and capacities of 11 associations.
• Construction of 40 ECOSAN ecological toilets, training of 4 masons and 5 sensitization activities to reduce the contamination chain of water and sanitation related diseases.
• 18 capacity building trainings for youth

The results show that YourFutureYourClimate was able to mobilize many beneficiaries, not all of whom were interested in climate issues before the project and half of whom had never participated in environmental protection initiatives. In addition, a large majority of the beneficiaries acquired the practical knowledge they wanted to have, such as compost production, construction of improved fireplaces or production of seedlings in nurseries. It is also important to emphasize that most of the beneficiaries have adapted their practices following the training and that many of them feel they have the knowledge and techniques necessary to continue the actions they have implemented. The adaptation of practices has covered all the areas of action of #TFTC, which is a major asset of the project. For example, there are tangible results in Togo where half of the fields cultivated by beneficiaries now benefit from the compost produced during #TFTC. Improved stoves built in Benin have reduced the burden of wood cutting and decreased deforestation of surrounding ecosystems.  On the partner side, the sharing of experiences and collaboration between actors were particularly emphasized as positive points. One of the strengths of the TFTC project partnership is the complementarity between the actors. Each stakeholder has its own expertise, the combination of which increases the impact of the project, whether in terms of mobilization and capacity building of youth (EIS-GWP-WA), implementation (EIS, GWP-WA and country partners) and specific technical expertise (GWP-WA and country partners) or stakeholder mobilization (EIS, GWP-WA and country partners) and regional and international outreach (EIS and GWP-WA). TFTC also relies on the strong commitment of various stakeholders in the countries of intervention, including communes, customary and religious authorities, landowners, decentralized technical services (water, agriculture, livestock, environment) and youth associations. In addition, the project has benefited from excellent visibility in the region and internationally, with 38 public communications and several expressions of interest from major regional actors, including ECOWAS – the Economic Community of West African States.
