He said the beauty of the ACReSAL project lies in its community-driven approach, where local communities are at the forefront of understanding, owning, protecting, and defending the project. This ensures that the project is tailored to meet the specific needs of the communities and is sustainable in the long run.

The ACReSAL project aims to restore 1 million hectares of degraded land in Northern Nigeria, contributing significantly to the federal government’s commitment to restore 4 million hectares of degraded land by 2030.
