PROJECT BENEFICIARIES

Primary Beneficiaries

Yobe ACReSAL interventions will improve land use planning and help a wide range of communities adapt to evolving climate impacts and dryland conditions. Communities and households that are most dependent on natural resources for their survival and vulnerable to desertification are expected to most benefit from ACReSAL Yobe. In the communities that will receive project investments, additional benefits can be expected for residents in terms of community cohesion and peacebuilding, including through improved capacity for local conflict resolution. Yobe ACReSAL will specifically target vulnerable and marginalized groups, including women, youth, the elderly, persons with disabilities, internally displaced people, and ethnic and religious minorities, to ensure their full participation in community level structures established or supported under the project. As well, targeted livelihoods and other interventions will be provided to vulnerable and marginalized groups under Components A and BY
