Outline the economic social, development and environmental context in which the project would operate. Sahelian and landlocked country with the closest point to the sea located approximately at 600 km, Niger covers an area of 1.267.000 km² and lies between longitudes 0 ° 16' and 16 ° East and latitudes 11 ° 1' and 23 ° 17' North. 3/4 of the country are occupied by deserts of which the Ténéré which is among the most famous deserts in the world. Between 1988 and 2010, Niger's population has nearly doubled from 7, 256,626 to 15,203,822 inhabitants (NSI, 2010) of which 80% are rural. With an average rate of 3.45% between 1990 and 1999, one of the world's highest, the average population growth greatly exceeds the rate of agricultural growth in the country, estimated at 2.2% in recent years. Figure 1. Administrative Regions of Niger (Source : Vierri, T., 2004) The average population density is low (6.5 inhabitants / km2), but this value masks (Source : Vierri, T., 2004) 2 Amended in November 2013 significant disparities, most of the population (about 75%) being concentrated on 12% of the territory, in the south of the axis Niamey-Zinder, creating a large population pressure on an agro-pastoral environment deemed fragile. The country's economy remains dominated by the agricultural sector which participates in the GDP for approximately 40% and employs 90% of the working population. Agriculture is the main economic activity of the country; it provides some 16% of the exports. Although relatively diversified, it remains dependent on internal and external isolation and is penalized by high population growth, more austere ecological environment, limited resources, widespread poverty and the high exposure of the country to the negative impacts of variability and of climate change. ISSUES RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND FOOD INSECURITY IN NIGER The variability and climate change are major constraints for the development of Niger, since they have a direct impact on food security of the country, especially in rural areas. The food crises in Niger are in fact the result of deficits in grain production because of constant and repeated rainfall deficits combined with environmental factors, and human parasites. The country is characterized by high variability both with regard the spatial and temporal climatic parameters as well as rainfall. This has recently led to rainfall deficits resulting from recurrent droughts. Over the past forty years, the country has had seven droughts that have had an impact on agro-pastoral production. This has severely affected the food security and socio-economic life of the country. With significant food deficits, Niger cannot provide adequate food for its population. It is heavily dependent on grain imports and food aid. In 2005 and more recently in 2010, the population has faced a serious food crisis, following a decline of about 13% of agricultural production in 2009 due to drought in 2004 and 2009 (malnutrition has affected about 32% of the population). The thorough analysis of the climatic situation and that of natural resources (land, water, soil, vegetation) reveals that since the 1973 drought (which was obviously strong), the environmental degradation has accelerated to an unprecedented rate. This degradation has caused not only the reduction of the productive potential of "natural resources capital", but also the disintegration of secular systems of production and management of natural environment. The consequences of this evolution are dramatic. The finding being established that "land no longer feeds man". There is food insecurity, the decrease in revenues, what explains a high rate of poverty in Niger. Information gathered in 2012 on the prevalence of malnutrition and the proportion of people affected at the regional and departmental levels of food insecurity are indicative of the fragile situation of the country, in terms of nutrition. Prevalence of malnutrition The SMART nutritional survey of June-July 2012 shows that the nutritional status of children under 5 years remains a concern. The global acute malnutrition rate among children of 6 to 59 months rose from 12.3% in June 2011 to 14.8% in June 20121. This rate is very close to the emergency threshold of 15% set by WHO. This threshold is exceeded for four particular areas: Diffa (16.7%), Tillabery (16.6%), Maradi (16.2%) and Zinder (15.9%). The severe acute malnutrition rate has experienced a larger increase since it has increased from 1.9% in June 2011 to 3.0% in June 2012. This means that the situation is almost back to the level of prevalence 1In accordance with WHO recommendations, the 2012 SMART survey takes into account all children from 0 to 59 months unlike previous years where only children from 6-59 months were considered. Thus, a comparison with previous years remains indicative because having a bias.In accordance with WHO recommendations, the 2012 SMART survey takes into account all children 0 to 59 months unlike previous years where only children 6-59 months were considered. Thus, a comparison with previous years remains indicative because having a bias. 3 Amended in November 2013 observed in June 2010 (3.2%), consecutive to poor harvests of the 2009 season. The regions of Agadez (1.8%) and Dosso (1.9%) are close to the 2% when the threshold is surpassed for all other regions except Niamey region. Diffa, Tillabery and Zinder have, in turn, a prevalence varying between 3.2% and 4.3%, a prevalence by far higher than the emergency threshold of 2% recommended by WHO. According to the WHO classification on malnutrition, Diffa (44.7%), Tahoua (41.5%), Maradi (50.9%) and Zinder (49%) are in a critical situation (Chronicle Malnutrition > 40%). The regions of Tillabery (34.1%), Dosso (39.1%) and Agadez (30.3%), with prevalence between 30 and 40% find themselves in situation considered serious. By gender, acute malnutrition affects more girls (21.0%) than boys (17.6%) of the same age for the moderate form as the severe form National population in food insecurity - At regional level Under the aegis of the national system of prevention and management of disasters and food crises (DNPGCCA), an estimate of vulnerable populations in various regions of Niger was made in 2012. The results indicate that the high proportion of vulnerable populations is Tillabéry (27%). Tahoua and Zinder follow with 19% of vulnerables, each. Dosso and Maradi regions follow the peloton with 14% and 11% of vulnerable estimated population. Agadez and Diffa have low proportions of vulnerable estimated people (4% and 5%). The Niamey region has the lowest proportion of vulnerables. It should be noted that the majority of the vulnerable population are affected by food insecurity both in post-harvest (41%) and in lean period (62%). The results show, in addition, that on a total of 2, 736,645 vulnerable populations in post-harvest, 764,742 people are food insecure, or about 28% of the vulnerables. In total, 34% of the vulnerable people are severely food insecure (SFI) against 66% moderately food insecure (MFI). The food insecurity map is presented below. Figure 2: Food insecurity map of Niger It is important to note that despite the small proportion of vulnerable people registered for Agadez region, compared to other regions, the estimates show that about 30% of the villages in the region are in deficit 4 Amended in November 2013 situation. In addition, the proportions of these vulnerable populations in food insecurity increase, compared to the post-harvest period. People in SFI is about 46% against 54% in MFI. - At the departmental level At the national level, almost no department is spared by food insecurity. Some experience it repeatedly and others, according to the aspect of the campaign. A historical analysis of the vulnerability note of Early Alert System (EAS) allows grouping departments into two categories according to their level of vulnerability: 1. Departments with recurrent vulnerability (16 departments are involved): Ouallam, Tillabery, and Fillingué Tera (Tillabery region) Tchintabaraden, Abalak, Keita, Bouza, Illela (Tahoua region) Dakoro (Maradi region) Tanout (Zinder Region) N’Guigmi, Maïné Soroa, Diffa (Diffa Region) Tchirozérine, Arlit (Agadez Region) 2. Conjuncturally vulnerable departments (18 departments are involved): Tahoua, and Birni Konni Madaoua (Tahoua Region), Guidan Roumdji Madarounfa Aguié, Mayahi, Tessaoua (Maradi Region), Say and Kollo (Tillabery Region), Dosso, Loga, Doutchi and Gaya (Dosso Region) Matameye Mirriah, Magaria, Goure (Zinder Region).

  • Evaluation Report Agadez Emergency Health Project Care International Pn- 40
    FINAL EVALUATION REPORT AGADEZ EMERGENCY HEALTH PROJECT CARE INTERNATIONAL PN- 40 James C. Setzer, MPH Shannon M. Mason, MPH Seydou Abdou Issoufou Mato August 1999 Acknowledgments: The evaluation team would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Project PN-40 for what is clearly a job well done! They have worked tirelessly to provide important health services to communities that, due to many factors, previously had none. They have done so by using their hands and feet, heads and most importantly their hearts. The results described here would not have been possible if the entire team had not been truly dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the population in their target areas. They have clearly believed in what they set out to do and its importance. In conditions such as these, technical know-how alone is not sufficient to get the job done. For their efforts and dedication then they should be congratulated and thanked. Thanked on behalf of CARE for representing their organization and its mission so well and on behalf of the women and children of northern Niger who will not suffer from preventable illness and death. The evaluation team sincerely hopes that their efforts may in some small way be seen as a contribution to this effort. It is important, also, to thank a number of persons for their input and assistance to this final evaluation exercise. The CARE/Niger country team under the leadership of both Jan Schollert and Douglas Steinberg should be acknowledged for their assistance in putting the evaluation team together and facilitating their work.

  • In Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Situation Overview : Niger – Tillabéri and Tahoua Regions | March 2020
    Humanitarian situation monitoring (HSM) in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Situation overview : Niger – Tillabéri and Tahoua regions | March 2020 Context Since the outbreak of violence in Mali in 2012, the border area between Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso has been characterized by a climate of insecurity due to the presence of armed groups, crime and rising tensions between communities1. The security situation in Niger has deteriorated sharply since 2018 and has caused the internal displacement of 159,028 people in the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions as of March 20202. In addition, the provision of humanitarian assistance is subject to multiple constraints resulting in limitations to access affected populations due to security, geographic and climatic factors, as well as to measures taken as part of the state of emergency covering parts of the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions1. Limited humanitarian access is one of the factors at the origin of important information gaps about the scope, nature and severity of needs. To fill these information gaps, REACH has been implementing a monitoring of the humanitarian situation, financed by the U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) since January 2020, following a pilot phase in November 20193. This situation overview presents the main results for data collected in March 2020 in the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions and analyzes the development of main indicators in the Tillabéri region between November 2019 and March 20204. Methodology This assessment adopts a so-called “Area of knowledge” methodology. The aim of this methodology is to collect, analyze and share up-to-date information regarding multi-sectoral humanitarian needs in the region, including in areas that are difficult to access.

Niger country strategic plan (2020–2024) Duration 1 January 2020–31 December 2024 Total cost to WFP USD 1,055,624,308 Gender and age marker* 3 * https://gender.manuals.wfp.org/en/gender-toolkit/gender-in-programming/gender-and-age-marker/. Executive summary The Niger is a food-deficit, land-locked least developed country ranked last in the 2018 Human Development Index. High levels of food insecurity and malnutrition are exacerbated by environmental degradation, poor natural resource management, rapid population growth, pervasive gender inequalities and climate shocks. Increasing insecurity and the spill over of conflicts induced by non-state groups from neighbouring countries compound these challenges, resulting in forced population displacements. This country strategic plan focuses on supporting government emergency response while implementing integrated resilience activities to protect livelihoods and foster long-term recovery. WFP also aims to strengthen national capacities in order to ensure the sustainability and ownership of zero hunger solutions, for example through measures to make the national social protection system more shock-adaptive and gender-responsive. The plan contains a multisectoral and integrated nutrition package, through which nutrition treatment and inclusive community-led nutrition-sensitive approaches will be aimed at strengthening local food production, promoting girls’ education and improving health and sanitation. The country strategic plan will be gender-equitable and will incorporate gender-transformative approaches to achieving zero hunger, including through the economic and social empowerment of women.
