The ACReSAL Project is a six-year, World Bank-assisted initiative by the Nigerian Federal Government to restore degraded land, combat desertification, and tackle water scarcity in Northern Nigeria. Its main goal is to increase sustainable landscape management and build a long-term framework for climate-resilient environmental practices. The project addresses key regional challenges like land degradation, low agricultural productivity, climate risks, and poverty. It operates as a multi-sectoral collaboration led by the Federal Ministry of Environment alongside the Federal Ministries of Water Resources and Agriculture and Food Security to improve biodiversity and secure rural farming livelihoods.
