The people closest to climate impacts often have the clearest evidence of what is changing.

In Togo, as elsewhere, farmers, rural women, and young producers see the effects of climate stress on their harvests, incomes, and energy access before anyone else. But that lived knowledge rarely gets organized in a way local institutions can actually use.

The problem isn't only a leadership gap or a data gap. It's the absence of a structured pathway between the two.

Sillon starts from a simple question: what would it take for that local experience to reliably reach the people who can act on it?
