According to Agene, In Nigeria, the mandate for implementing the 50×2030 initiative is the Agro Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) project -an agency of the federal government supported by the World Bank having a mandate of environmental, agriculture and water resources management.
The task team project leader disclosed that so far, through ACreSAL, the federal government is checking the menace of desertification, restoring degraded lands, developing special ecosystems and catalysing sustainable agricultural production in the Nigeria’s 19 northern states as well as the FCT.

The initiative, according to Agene Joy, will help achieve food security, sustainability and climate change by building stronger national agricultural data systems.

She further said the 50×2030 initiative holds benefits of taming desertification, stemming the shrinking of the Lake Chad, obviating the climate change induced pastoral nomadism that keep unleashing farmers – herders clashes and insecurity.
