The Togolese and German Red Cross, the Climate Centre and other partners shared in the 2017 ‘Edge of Government’ award made to Togo’s Ministry of the Environment at the World Government Summit in Dubai in February for joint groundbreaking work on forecast-based financing (FbF). FbF in Togo was among 13 programmes that made it through to the final stage of the Edge of Government event, designed to “challenge visitors to think in new and often counter-intuitive ways about how to solve the most pressing public challenges of our time,” said organizers at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation. The finalists – evaluated for their projects’ novelty, impact and replicability – were shortlisted from a global field and were mainly first-world governments; Togo was the only national entry from Africa, and there were also exhibits from Peru, another Red Cross FbF pilot country, and Brazil. FbF in Togo includes a flood-prediction tool which ‘learns’ by integrating hydrometeorological and humanitarian data.
