Background
Over half of Nigeria's estimated 170 million inhabitants live below the poverty line, with over 70% of the population still relying on biomass for fuelwood. Rapid deforestation is a major concern with over half of the country's primary forests cut down in the last 10 years, exacerbated by rapid population growth of 2.5%. The unsustainable production and utilization of biomass resources represents one of the key drivers of deforestation and land degradation in Nigeria.

The project, which began implementation in February 2017, has a GEF grant of $4,410,000 and co-financing of $16,400,000.

The objective of the project is sustainable fuelwood production and consumption to secure the flow of multiple environmental benefits, including carbon storage and sequestration. This will be achieved through i) supply side management (the production and procurement of certified fuelwood from sustainably sourced feedstock from a) woodlands outside the protected forests in Cross River and Delta State in the South and b) from farmer-managed woodlots in Kaduna State in the North and ii) demand side management through the promotion of improved stoves/kilns in the domestic sub-sector as an inclusive business to reduce fuelwood demand, improve health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The energy sector is the largest source of GHG emissions in Nigeria, accounting for over 70% of the country’s total GHG emissions (155.34 MtCO2e in 2000). Over 85% of energy sector emissions emanated from fuel combustion activities, and the remaining from fugitive fuel emissions

Using a rigorous quantitative methodology based on UNDP’s De-risking (“DREI”) methodology, the project will develop NAMA architecture and enabling conditions through a combination of complementary policy and financial de-risking instruments, which will be validated through the implementation of a 100 MW PV project.in Nigeria
The project, which began implementation in February 2017, has a GEF grant of $4,400,000 and co-financing of $213,750,000.

Put in place public de-risking instruments to support the more efficient and effective participation of the private sector in the power sector.

Develop the first of its kind, On-Grid Solar-PV baseline project and pave the way for catalyzing more private investments so that the NAMA will generate national benefits related to green growth, energy security and job creation at scale.

The three components that support the achievements of objectives are:

Design and development of a power sector renewable energy NAMA supported by DREI analysis.
Policy and institutional framework for private investment in on-grid renewable power generation.
