About US

The Agro-Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) project is a World Bank supported Project that seeks to address some of the critical environmental challenges in Nigeria, specifically, it pursues the mitigation of the problems of Land degradation in Northern Nigeria arising from Climate Change. The Project approach is multisectoral; addressing the effects of the Climate change on the Environment, Water Resources and Agriculture vis-à-vis their corresponding impact on the livelihoods of the people. It is supported in Adamawa State through a government counterpart contribution and implemented by the State Project Management (SPMU) Team headed by a Project Coordinator. The SPMU is responsible for the day to day running of the project and works with the Federal Project Management Office and the Acresal Task Team of the World Bank towards success

Our Project Components

The ACReSAL project aligns with the Federal Government of Nigeria in restoring ONE million ha degraded land by 2030
Support Strategic Watershed Planning processes, prioritize major investments to address desertification and land degradation in northern Nigeria at Federal and State level and complement investments at community level
Improve agro-climatic resilience at community and household levels by promoting locally adapted Sustainable Land and Water Management (SLWM) strategies and through climate-smart approaches to agricultural and natural resource management
Improve the enabling institutional and policy foundation for integrated landscape management in Nigeria from ACReSAL activities to longer-term national framework and support overall project monitoring and management
This is a component that could be used as necessary to provide immediate support to an eligible crisis of emergency
