About the NAGGW
The National Agency for the Great Green Wall (NAGGW) was established by Act of Parliament in 2015 to pursue the laudable vision of the African Union and its Heads of State and Governments when they adopted and launched the Great Green Wall in the Sahel and Sahara Initiative (GGWSSI).
The GGWSSI involves a range of stakeholders including National Governments, International Organizations, the Private Sector and Civil Society who all work together under the coordination of Pan African Great Green Wall (PAGGW) to combat land degradation and improve the livelihoods of the affected communities. International partners such as the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), World Bank, Global Environment Facility (GEF), the European Union (EU), and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) among others have mobilized substantial investments to push forward the implementation of GGW Initiative.
Mission
Empowering communities to combat land degradation, enhance food security, and build resilience to climate change through sustainable interventions and education.
Vision
A world where restored landscapes thrive, communities flourish, and nature's resilience safeguards against climate change, poverty, and food insecurity.
Core Values
Guided by sustainability, community-centricity, innovation, integrity, collaboration, empowerment, and environmental stewardship, we drive holistic, impactful change.
From The Director General's Desk
The National Agency for the Great Green Wall (NAGGW) is at the forefront of combating desertification and land degradation in line with the United Nation Convention on Combating Desertification (UNCCD). At the NAGGW, we are committed to improving the livelihoods of the affected communities, reducing apparent manifestation of poverty, and building the resilience of the people against the phenomena of climate change.
Nigeria is committed to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who as President of Heads of States and Governments of the Pan African Great Green Wall (PAGGW) is fully committed to the National wellbeing of protecting and conserving the African ecosystem.
We will therefore continue to play a leading role in fulfilling the laudable vision of the African Union and its Heads of State and Governments when in 2007 they adopted and launched the Great Green Wall in the Sahel and Sahara Initiative (GGWSSI).
