The project foresees the reforestation of 7 out of 12 degraded Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Katsina State, Northern Nigeria through tree planting and Agro-forestry.
This includes encouraging new income generating activities and energy efficient practices through the production and commercialisation of mud cook stoves.
It also aims to put in place the right conditions for an increased use of renewable energy (RE), a more efficient use of energy, and for small scale commercially viable solutions for flared gas utilisation.
