Kebbi State is participating in the ACReSAL project which is a multi-sectoral and multi-institutional scheme, covering Environment, Agriculture and Water. The project is to support the state combat desertification, restore degraded lands and special ecosystems for agriculture and biodiversity conservation.
Our Project Development Objective (PDO) is to increase the implementation of sustainable landscapes management practices in Kebbi State thereby strengthening Nigeria’s long-term enabling environment for integrated climate-resilient landscape management.
ACReSAL Project will help restore over 50,000 hecatres in Kebbi State. This will contribute to achieving 1 million hectares for ACReSAL participating States and to the Federal Government of Nigeria’s objective/commitment of restoring four million hectares of degraded land set for broader landscapes restoration by 2030. The Project will also help reduce the vulnerability of millions of the extreme poor people in Kebbi State, strengthening their own role in line with achieving environmental sustainability.

This component will implement integrated watershed management planning and addresses challenges of large-scale watershed degradation in northern Nigeria
Most of the challenges of dryland management are to be found at the local level, where they constitute the day-today reality of communities and farmers. Communities need support to be more resilient and communites and households need targeted investments to put new approaches into effect in targeted microwatersheds
This component includes investments to improve the enabling institutional and policy foundation for multisectoral integrated landscape management and climate resilence, as well as support to project management
A Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) is a financing mechanism available to Borrowers in Investment Project Financing (IPF) operations to enable quick deployment of uncommitted funds to respond to an eligible crisis or emergency.
Greening the environment,
saving lives
The project duration is 6 years ending in 2028
The project is implemented in the 19 Northern States and the FCT.
Geographical areas that directs rain into rivers and streams.
The project is has four key components
The number of individuals that have benefitted from our interventions
The size of land in hectares restored by our interventions
Number of Community Interest groups we have supported
Number of communities that have benefitted from our interventions
The project will assist in minimizing the ugly incidences of herders-farmers conflicts, over grazing land, and water through community cohesion and peace building.
ACReSAL interventions will improve land use planning and help a wide range of communities adapt to evolving dryland conditions with an end target of 170,000 in Kebbi State and 3.4 million direct project beneficiaries for ACReSAL participating states.
The concept of ACReSAL is to fund investments strategically in the area of ecosystem restoration, flood and sedimentations control, sand dunes stabilization, watershed infrastructure such as integrated dams/small-scale multipurpose reservoirs and irrigation.
The sustainability of these investments will be reinforced by strengthening institutions and information services across sectors and States, including support to improve governance, regulatory compliance, environmental monitoring, impact evaluation, watershed and land use planning, thus, strengthening Nigeria’s capacity to promote and implement climate- resilient projects.
The ACReSAL project introduces innovative and impactful solutions, enhancing land use, promoting ecosystem restoration, and developing sustainable infrastructure
