UNICEF Niger Humanitarian Situation Report June 2019 Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs According to the 2019 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO), 2.3 million people in Niger need humanitarian assistance, including 1.3 children. The needs analysis shows the persistence of five major crises affecting the country: food insecurity (1.5 million people estimated in need), malnutrition (1.8 million people), epidemics (600,000 children), floods (170,000 people) and population movements due to conflict or migration (478,000 people). In Maradi region the refugee response is coordinated by UNHCR and UNICEF is providing its expertise for multisectoral evaluations and wash response in 11 host villages. In June the negotiation with the government conducted by the humanitarian community led to the agreement to lift the obligation of the use of armed escorts and the definition of alternative mitigation measures. In several regions the installation of displaced populations in spontaneous sites is cause of concern for several reasons (security, protection, occupation of private land, etc..). Discussions have been launched with the government to identify strategies for the delocalization of displaced populations in specific cases and in respect of humanitarian international laws. A first meeting is yet to be convened.

Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination In Niger UNICEF leads the Education and WASH Clusters, and the Child Protection Sub-Cluster in close collaboration with government counterparts and co-leads the Nutrition Technical Working Group/Cluster with the government. UNICEF supports sub-national authorities for the timely and efficient management of sectoral working groups, particularly, but not exclusively, in Diffa, Maradi and Agadez where UNICEF field offices are located, as well as in Tillabéri and Tahoua through the support of cluster leads and field office technical staff. UNICEF is also a proactive member of the Health Cluster and the NFI/Shelter Working Group. UNICEF participates in the common framework of the RRM project along with four international NGOs (ACF, ACTED, DRC AND IRC), OCHA and WFP, as well as with the Ministry of Humanitarian Action and Disaster Relief (MAH/GC). In the RRM, UNICEF’s is responsible for the procurement of Non- food Items and WASH kits, and for the provision of the overall technical leadership. Additionally, UNICEF provides technical, financial and in-kind support to the MAH/GC and to the Department of Civil Defense, to strengthen their capacity to manage and coordinate humanitarian crises, as well as to prepare for and respond to floods.

Humanitarian Strategy UNICEF responds to both chronic and acute crises in the Niger. In 2019, an increasing focus is put on the strengthening and operationalization of the linkages between humanitarian action and development programming, particularly in the Diffa region. Emergency capacity to respond to acute crises is increased through the RRM. In Tahoua and Tillabéri regions, strategic partnerships and innovative community-based approaches are identified to help UNICEF and partners overcome access challenges and reach vulnerable populations with multi-sectoral support. UNICEF continues to strengthen national health and nutrition systems to deliver services in emergencies, including severe acute malnutrition (SAM) prevention and treatment, measles and polio vaccination and free health care for children under 5 years. UNICEF prioritizes the access to quality school services for children affected by crises and schools’ resilience building. Conflict- affected children receive comprehensive child protection services. The cholera prevention package is strengthened and access to safe water includes both immediate and durable solutions. UNICEF maintains its preparedness capacity through contingency stocks, partnerships and human and financial resources; and a cash transfer strategy is being developed.

UNICEF Niger Humanitarian Situation Report June 2019 Summary Analysis of Programme Response

Nutrition Basin crisis As of end of June 2019 (week 26), 6,356 under-five children suffering from SAM were admitted to rehabilitation centres (both outpatient and inpatient facilities) in Diffa region, including 528 cases with medical complications. This represents 40.7% of the annual target. Compared to the same period (week 1 to 26) in 2018, a decrease of 32% (246 children) and 16% (1,087 children) was observed in both inpatient and outpatient facilities respectively. Compared to 2018, the admissions in the Diffa region decreased from 44.6% to 38.2%. This can be partially explained by the closing of the nutrition programmes of some international NGOs (MSF-France, MSF-Suisse, Save the Children). Mali Border crisis (Tahoua and Tillabéri regions) As of end of June 2019 (week 26), 41,334 under-five children suffering from SAM were admitted to rehabilitation centres (both outpatient and inpatient facilities) in Tahoua et Tillabéri regions, including 4,296 cases with medical complications. This represents 38.2% of the annual target. Compared to the same period (week 1 to 26) in 2018, a decrease of 7% (299 children) and an increase of 17% (5,314 children) was observed in inpatient and outpatient facilities respectively. In Tillabery and Tahoua regions the admission rate has increased from 32.8% to 40.7%. This could be explained by the fact that the 2 regions faced in 2018 stock-outs of RUTF during the first semester. National crisis As end of June (week 26), 145,312 under-five children suffering from SAM were admitted for treatment. Among these children, 16,583 cases (11.4%) presented medical complications (admitted for inpatient therapeutic care), while 128,729 cases (88.6%) were admitted for outpatient therapeutic care. Compared to the same period last year (week 1-26), an increase in admissions of 6% is observed in outpatient care while a decrease of 7% is observed in inpatient facilities. This represents 38.2% of the annual target, compared to 34.8% of 2018.

A mass campaign is planned for September

WASH As of June, UNICEF had provided access to safe water to 42,945 people out of the 120,000 expected (36%). In Diffa region the coverage has been lower than planned mainly due to lack of funding.

Media and External Communication The visit of the UNICEF Japan Goodwill Ambassador, Agnes Chan, accompanied by a delegate of japan-based and international journalists, has been an opportunity for UNICEF to shed a light on the humanitarian situation in the country, especially in the area of child malnutrition, child protection and migration, UNICEF rapid response mechanism and Japan-funded humanitarian response. Agnes Chan held a special session briefing on Niger and the situation of children in the country on July 3rd, 2019, reaching Japan business partners. To highlight the support provided by DFID in the area of nutrition, UNICEF has produced a photo essay which has been widely disseminated through digital platforms – including the UNICEF Niger website. Two short videos were also produced and widely disseminated among the global polio eradication community to showcase UNICEF emergency response to end polio in the country. The videos were published on the polio eradication partnership website: partnering for polio and hard-to-reach areas and long commutes challenge accepted.

Security The security environment deteriorated in Niger over the reporting period, especially in Tillaberi region, where a substantial increase in the violent asymmetric attacks attributed to ISGS (Islamic State in the Greater ) militants was observed. The presence of ISGS militants in Western Niger also resulted in an elevated terrorist threat in Niamey, where official sources mentioned that terrorist attacks against international targets (Embassies) were deterred early June. In the Lake Chad area, the security environment remained directly affected by the continuous presence of ISWAP (Islamic State Province) militants in the Diffa region. Violent activities against civilians were frequently observed (armed attacks and looting of villages, abductions of civilians). Humanitarian workers and Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) were also targeted by violent activities perpetrated by ISGS or ISWAP militants, such as vehicle hijackings in the region of Tillaberi.
