Key Results
Through the support of the TerrAfrica Leveraging Fund (TLF), Nigeria was able integrate SLWM into the national environmental and agricultural frameworks through the development of Sustainable Land Management (SLM) Country Strategic Investment Frameworks (CSIF). Nigeria has completed its costs and benefits study of SLM options and a major climate change assessment is underway
As a result of the development of a CSIF, Nigeria has been able to align stakeholders and resources towards the implementation of its Strategic Investment Program (SIP). The implementation of the SIP has commenced with the development of the Nigeria Erosion & Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) which will address land degradation and implement preventative and protective measures
The Sahel and West Africa Program (SAWAP) supports Nigeria in its implementation of a CSIF with its strategic combination of civil engineering, vegetative land management and other watershed protection measures. These interventions are implemented through the Nigeria Erosion & Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) which has received support through SAWAP amounting to USD658.59 million
The capacities of relevant government institutions to invest in SLWM have also been enhanced, including media organisations which have been trained on communicating SLWM messages. These interventions have resulted in increased awareness about SLWM through targeted media campaigns
