In October 2023, the Environmental and Economic Resource Center (EERC) initiated a purposeful initiative, starting with a visit to the Adamawa State Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Development. During collaborative discussions with the Permanent Secretary and the Director of Forestry, the fundamental goals of our project were highlighted. These objectives focus on the potential advantages of reducing carbon emissions, enhancing agricultural productivity, and boosting farmers’ income. The Permanent Secretary enthusiastically endorsed the project, acknowledging it as a positive development for the state, and assured the ministry’s steadfast dedication to achieving the project’s objectives.
