Project Overview
The Zamfara ACReSAL project is a multi-sectoral and multi-institutional scheme, covering Environment, Agriculture and Water. It was designed by the Federal Government to combat desertification, restore degraded lands, and special ecosystems for agriculture and biodiversity conservation. We are a World Bank sponsored project that aims to increase the implementation of sustainable landscape management practices in Zamfara State and strengthen the State’s long-term enabling environment for integrated climate-resilient landscape management.
Who We Are
ACReSAL, which is in line with President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s sustainable goal of restoring 4 million hectares of degraded agricultural land by 2030, has long term objective of increasing the adoption of Climate Resilient Landscape management practice for environmental sustainability and improved agricultural yield for rural farmers, especially women and youth groups. To that effect, a target of 1million hectares has been set for restoration at the end of the project in 2028.
