The program, developed by the Nigeria===Nigerian Council on Climate Change (NCCC) in partnership with the Africa Policy Research Institute (APRI) and the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance (BOGA), seeks to support long-term economic diversification beyond oil and gas in rural communities. Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, emphasized the need for environmentally responsible, technologically driven diversification, drawing lessons from Norway and Netherlands. Omotenioye Majekodunmi, Director-General of the NCCC, highlighted Nigeria's transition into a green energy giant.

The program will strengthen policymaking, support dialogue, and translate evidence into actionable recommendations aligned with Nigeria's climate and development priorities, including its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
