Funding Overview and Partnership In 2020, UNICEF is appealing for US$ 62.2M to provide life-saving services to women and children affected by several crisis in Niger, in coordination with other humanitarian actors, within the framework of the Humanitarian Response Plan 2020, and in partnerships with government and NGOs. The funds carry-over from the previous year amounts to 6.5M and funding received so far amounts to about 16M, leaving a funding gap of 63% at the end of June 2020. UNICEF expresses its sincere gratitude to all public and private donors for the contributions received.

Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs Humanitarian Needs Overview: According to the 2020 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) published in January 2020, 2.9 million people in Niger need humanitarian assistance, including 1.6 M children. The needs analysis shows the persistence of five major crises affecting the country: food insecurity, malnutrition, epidemics, floods and population movements due to conflict or migration. The 2020 Humanitarian Response Plan was launched in February 2020: 1,8 million people are targeted for a budget of 399,9 M USD. This HRP is currently under revision to include new humanitarian needs appeared after the COVID-19 outbreak in the country. In partnership with government and NGOs, UNICEF continues to provide multisectoral and coordinated assistance to affected population, both through an emergency approach to assist the most vulnerable populations immediately after a shock, and through longer terms interventions to guarantee durable solutions. Tillaberi and Tahoua: Access remains very limited due to continuous insecurity, to a cumbersome civil-military coordination process; field missions are frequently cancelled due to incidents and/or armed group activities. Lack of access is slowing down program implementation. Diffa: The presence of several active non-state armed groups and the multiplication of their actions, especially against civilians, suggest that the situation in the area will continue to deteriorate in the next months. COVID-19 pandemic1: Following the confirmation of the first positive case of COVID-19 on March 19th, 2020 in the capital city , UNICEF has been working closely with the Government and its partners to step up the response and prevent further proliferation of the COVID-19 virus in the country, already facing the consequences of multiple crisis (nutrition, conflicts, natural disasters). As of the end of the reporting period, Niger registered 1,075 cases of COVID-19, 943 patients healed, 67 deaths and a lethality rate of 6.23%. The number of confirmed cases among health care providers was 184. Since June 16th (29 active cases), an increase in the daily growth rate of COVID-19 cases was observed. Those cases were mainly imported from neighboring countries. An updated version of the Global Response Plan to Coronavirus Pandemic of the Government of Niger was released at the end of May, with a reinforced multisectoral approach, and specific sectorial plans (resilience of education system, revised plan to support populations affected by nutritional and food insecurity, analysis and proposed measures to address socio-economic impacts of the disease). UNICEF continues to assist particularly the Ministry of Health (MoH), in the field of risk communication/community engagement (RCCE), infection prevention and control (IPC), supply and logistics, epidemiological surveillance and healthcare provision. Considering the overall slowing down of the new cases, the Niger government decided to suspend some of the measures in place to control COVID-19 transmission and schools resumed their activities starting on 1st June. UNICEF was supporting the back to school activities by providing the Ministry of Education with Education and WASH supplies, technical assistance, key messages about COVID-19 prevention and the development of a monitoring system based on RapidPro. Moreover, the Country Office was closely working with Child Protection actors to ensure that the needs of children on the move are met. UNICEF is co- leading 3 of the 8 sub-committees established by the MoH (RCCE, IPC and logistics) at central and sub-national level and is an active member of the others. UNICEF is also participating to the UN COVID-19 crisis group and has been appointed UN supply and procurement coordinator for COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary Analysis of Programme Response Nutrition UNICEF, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health and regional and health districts, supported the treatment of SAM children nationwide. UNICEF strengthened Hygiene and Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) interventions both at health facility and community level into existing nutrition interventions to reduce the incidence of nosocomial infections and reduce the spread of COVID-19 virus, especially in the management of severe acute malnutrition. Lake Chad Basin crisis As of June 28th (week 26), 8,773 under-five children suffering from SAM were admitted for treatment in Diffa region, including 561 children with medical complications. Compared to the same period of last year, it represented a decrease of 35% in inpatient, while an increase of 12% in outpatient facilities.

Mali Border crisis (Tahoua and Tillaberi regions) As of June 28th (week 26), 40,335 under-five children suffering from SAM were admitted for treatment in Tahoua and Tillaberi regions, including 4,605 children with medical complications. Compared to the same period of last year, it represented an increase of 7% in inpatient facilities and a decrease of 4% in outpatient facilities. National crisis As of June 28th (week 28), 167,085 under-five children suffering from SAM were admitted for treatment (representing 42 % of the cluster annual target2), including 18,186 cases with medical complications. Compared to the same period of last year, it represented an increase of 5% in outpatient facilities, but a stability in inpatient facilities. As the end of May, performance indicators are the following: 90,2% of children cured, 1,4% of children died and default rate of 5%. COVID-19 ADAPTATION UNICEF, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health and regional and health districts, supported the treatment of SAM children nationwide. UNICEF strengthened Hygiene and Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) interventions both at health facility and community level into existing nutrition interventions to reduce the incidence of nosocomial infections and reduce the spread of COVID-19 virus, especially in the management of severe acute malnutrition. UNICEF is supporting the Government of Niger and partners on the implementation of adapted modalities to ensure the continuation of essential nutrition services at health facility and community level. The guidelines on COVID-19 adaptations was revised in June in order to ensure continuity of community activities including active screening for acute malnutrition and Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) sensitization activities. During the month of June, UNICEF received child nutrition products (therapeutic milks, medicines and tents) in order to replenish the national stock and to meet additional needs in the treatment of severe acute malnutrition. Health Lake Chad Basin crisis During the month of June, a suspected case of meningitis was reported by the Health District of Bosso (Diffa Region) and a suspected case of measles was reported by the Health District of Diffa. A mobile clinic campaign (20 outings) was carried out from 23rd to 30th June 2020 to raise awareness and screen volunteers for HIV in refugee and displaced camps in the department of Diffa with the support of UNICEF. Community HIV mediators have been installed in earlier May and so far, 28 exposed children were listed. Among them 04 children had the Polymerase Chain Reaction test at 6 weeks, 13 had the serology test between 12-18 months (2 positives and 11 negatives). 09 children have left the cohort and 10 other children are currently being followed. COVID-19 ADAPTATION Due to the COVID-19 response, regular activities were virtually stopped, however at the end of May, the activities (supervision, training and vaccination) resumed. A measles campaign is being prepared for the next month, Training are actually undertaken, and supervision of activities is being made by the health districts while striving to respect the barrier measures enacted. WASH Lake Chad Basin crisis In June 2020, UNICEF and the WASH Cluster actors provided 273 people with access to sanitation infrastructure through the construction of emergency latrines in the municipality of Maine Soroa, 634 people with specific hygiene promotion activities coupled with distribution of soap in the municipalities of Kabalawa, and Geskerou and 149 malnourished children with WASH-in-Nut kits in the health district of N’guigmi. border crisis (Tahoua and Tillaberi regions) In Tillaberi region, a total of 7,915 people affected by forced displacement, gained access to sustainable water supply through the construction of 2 solar powered piped water system in the municipalities of and 349 affected people were provided with hygiene kits and hygiene promotion in the municipalities of , and Tera by WASH Cluster actors. Other crises In , UNICEF, in collaboration with the NGOs Action contre la Faim (ACF) and Comitato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo dei Popoli (CISP), continued to support the implementation of Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) in 23 communities. As a result, 26,684 people have been reached by sanitation and hygiene promotion activities. 1,500 people gained access to sustainable water supply thanks to the support of the WASH Cluster actors.

COVID-19 ADAPTATION In the current context of COVID-19 pandemic, WASH humanitarian actors have adapted the implementation of Humanitarian Response Plan projects by including barrier measures to prevent COVID-19 infections. In addition, they have also developed and implemented specific Infection and Prevention Control (IPC) actions for COVID-19 response.

Education In June, regional forums on the community approach to education were held in , Diffa and Tahoua on the theme of improving retention and gender equity in early grades. Commitments were made by Government, Civil Society and partners to support the schooling and protection for girls. Lake Chad Basin crisis In June 2020, after the opening of schools closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, UNICEF delivered schools’ kits and textbooks to 6,575 students (3,353 girls) and deployed 10 tents to cover temporary classrooms during the rainy season, allowing continue school access to 500 children (255 girls). Mali Border Crisis (Tahoua and Tillaberi régions) In Tillaberi, NGO CONCERN trained 276 teachers (141 women) in psychosocial support with UNICEF financial support. This activity has benefited to 7,515 students (4,002 girls). In the two regions, NGO COOPI provided 353 teachers (180 women) with teacher guides in mathematics and French. COOPI also provided 11,960 students (5,741 girls) with school materials. 116 principals (14 women) were trained in educational coaching and 116 schools have benefited from recreational kits with UNICEF financial support. After the reopening, the kits distributed to schools have benefited to 23,025 students (11,052 girls). Schools also received 1,000 tarpaulins and 20 tents. In Tillabéry, the deployment of this equipment enabled the integration of 758 out-of-school children (384 girls). In Tahoua, 10 tents and 500 tarpaulins were deployed in schools to cover temporary classrooms during the rainy season, allowing continue school access to 3,850 children (including 1,964 girls). Others In Agadez, the NGO INTERSOS distributed school kits to 37 children (16 girls) in asylum centre. In Maradi, a joint mission by UNICEF and the local authorities supervised the reopening of schools. It has been reported that the return to school has been effective overall (around 90%). The greatest challenges remain the lack of handwashing kits and protective materials and limited information. In this region, where refugees from have settled, the Regional Directorate of Primary Education with UNICEF support gave kits to 1,000 pupils (480 girls). 500 tarpaulins and 5 tents were distributed to schools allowing continue access to 3,050 children (including 1,556 girls). COVID-19 ADAPTATION UNICEF continues to support the procurement and distribution of hygiene and school materials. Messaging on correct disinfection protocols were distributed in collaboration with WASH actors; overall prevention guidance messaging is being reinforced. UNICEF has supported the government to develop a data collection tool for back-to-school monitoring (RapidPro) to assess the impact of the pandemic on the Education sector. The results are expected in July.

UNICEF was nominated as the co-Grant Agent for the Global Partnership for Education funds, managing USD 11 million for the COVID-19 education response together with the French Development Agency (USD 6 million by UNICEF). UNICEF, as lead of the Education Cluster, provided technical and financial support for two workshops to finalize the Strategy to Reduce Risk and Vulnerability in Niger's Education Sector. The analysis of epidemics and pandemics as risks that can affect the education sector has been reinforced. In collaboration with the ministries in charge of education, the Cluster took part to the 2019 annual review of the education sector and two presentations were made to stakeholders: education in emergency situations before and after COVID-19 and a summary of the national strategy to mitigate the vulnerabilities of Niger's education system. Child Protection Lake Chad Basin crisis In June 2020, in the region of Diffa, 5,705 children (3,049 girls) benefitted from psychosocial support by Child protection working group (CPWG) members, among them 452 (166 girls) by Regional Directorate of Child Protection (DRPE) social workers through UNICEF support. 33 unaccompanied and separated children have been identified and benefitted from assistance by child protection actors, among them 11 identified by the DRPE with UNICEF support in Diffa region. 19 children (11 girls) escaped from non-state armed group and reintegrated their community. They benefited from follow-up by DRPE social workers. Mali Border Crisis (Tahoua and Tillaberi regions) Regional response on child protection and data collection among child protection working group members remained a challenge mainly due to the COVID-19 measures, difficult access to areas, and absence of specialized child protection organizations. An UNICEF’s partner is starting a project aiming to reinforce and set up 108 child protection committees in departments bordering Burkina Faso; while two Sub-cluster members are supporting 25 protection peer educators in the IDP population in identifying children at risks, offering socio-recreational activities to 682 children (including 340 girls), training 112 people (including 104 children and eight adults ) on the importance of school and child marriage issues. National Level In Maradi, at the beginning of June, UNICEF’s partners restarted their activities by setting 35 child friendly spaces and managed to reach 1,160 children during the month (for a total of 9,866 children since the beginning of the year). 111 vulnerable children received adequate care by COOPI and ADKOUL through UNICEF funding. In Agadez, during the month of June, 29 separated and unaccompanied children from Niger (including 11 girls), aged 4 to 17 years, received alternative care in the transit center in Agadez, under the management of the DRPE and technically and financially supported by UNICEF. Out of the 29 children, 09 of them were victims of trafficking and exploitation and they received psychosocial support by social workers of the DRPE. COVID-19 ADAPTATION Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, child protection activities with protection services and partners continued during the reporting period. Social workers from the Regional Directorate for Child Protection continued to accompany vulnerable children, refer them to adequate services and perform home visits. UNICEF and partners continued activities in the respect of government measures by accompanying community-based mechanisms members, sensitizing through family visits instead of large gatherings, and offering now counselling to children on a bilateral basis. Communication for Development (C4D) Lake Chad Basin crisis In Diffa, with UNICEF support, international NGOs (COOPI, CONCERN, RED CROSS, ACTED) supported Community Workers, and traditional leaders, in enhancing Peer support , giving opportunity to people to interact on community radios about services delivering (immunization, Antenatal Care, birth delivery, school, etc) and in promoting good behaviours (sanitation, hygiene, community dialogue, intergeneration dialogue, Exclusive Breast Feeding, etc). A total of 280 households (1,965 people) were reached by this activity. Mali Border Crisis (Tillaberi région) With the Peace Building Fund, UNICEF is supporting 72 youth groups engaged in conflict resolution through their participation in local assemblies, meetings with traditional leaders and training organizing associations . With its local

partner Femmes, Action & Development (local NGO), new “mechanism and alternative methods of conflict resolution”3 is being implemented in 07 out of 45 municipalities of Tillaberi region.

COVID-19 ADAPTATION In Diffa region, with the international NGO Search for Common Ground, local Community Radios are monitoring COVID-19 programs aired aiming to reinforce community participation, conflict resolution, cohesion and peace. Non-Food Items (NFI) The Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) provides a multisectoral response to population affected by a shock (armed conflict, floods, epidemics) through NFI, Shelter, Food Security, Protection, WASH, Health and Nutrition emergency response. UNICEF, in close collaboration with the Ministry of the Humanitarian Action and RRM partners, is the technical coordinator of the Rapid Response Mechanism, and partially in charge of the NFI supply for the mechanism. Movement restrictions adopted by the government to control COVID-19 spread in the country affected access to the crisis areas with a delay in the response. As part of the emergency response, the RRM Niger was identified as the first opportunity and entry point for the Humanitarian Cash Transfer in Niger. The validation of an agreement in principle was made with the RRM Consortium (UNICEF, ACTED, ACF, DRC, IRC) for the start of the cash pilot project. For the moment, the activities are evolving in terms of the design of the pilot and the conception of the tools that will accompany the different stages of implementation. Lake Chad Basin crisis Since the beginning of the year, UNICEF, through RRM implementing partners, supported 11,332 people affected by conflicts through the distribution of UNICEF NFI kits, 527 people during the month of May. Mali Border crisis (Tahoua and Tillaberi regions) During the month of June, 1,955 people affected by conflict received NFI kits provided by UNICEF in Tillaberi region. Humanitarian access continues to be a major constraint, due to the security context and government restrictions mainly in the Tillaberi and Tahoua regions. National crisis RRM is being deployed in the Maradi region, in order to respond to people affected by conflict and forced displacements, and from January to end of June, UNICEF provided 659 NFIs kits to 4,205 affected people. COVID-19 ADAPTATION As technical leader of the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) Technical Coordination, UNICEF contributed to the finalization of the tools and protocols of the rapid response mechanism to population affected by shock to adapt them to the COVID-19 context and to be able to continue to safely deliver the humanitarian aid respecting the “do not harm” principle. This SOP is currently under revision to be adapted to the evolving context.

In June, 110 schools sent complete reports on school monitoring indicators. 23 out of 51 health centres sent complete reports on nutrition performance. About WASH, 36 reports were received out of 249 expected water point reports and 03 alerts were received and all of them were addressed. This performance is low due to the lack of monitoring field visits and the UNICEF country office (CO) took actions (methodologies of data collection and meeting with actors) in order to improve this performance. Humanitarian Cash Transfer As part of Niger cash transfer strategy, the task of monetizing the kits for sectoral interventions begun. NFI, shelter and wash kits were the first to be monetized in order to be able to use the cash transfer during natural disasters and population movements when local market conditions allow it and thus bypass the obstacles related to the duration of orders and limited logistical and security accessibility. In addition to the pilot cash RRM, a multi-sectoral cash pilot fully funded by UNICEF is under discussion and will be implemented from August 2020.

Humanitarian Leadership, Coordination and Strategy UNICEF responds to chronic and acute crises in Niger. UNICEF strengthens national health and nutrition systems to deliver emergencies services, including severe acute malnutrition (SAM) prevention and treatment, measles and polio vaccination and free health care for children under 5. UNICEF, in collaboration with the UN SUN Network4 , also supported the Government in the preparation of a joint declaration on adequate Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) in the context of COVID-19, which was submitted for signature by UNICEF and WHO country representatives, and by the Minister of Public Health. In addition, UNICEF facilitated an ad-hoc meeting of the Nutrition Sector Group to sensitize stakeholders on the International Code of marketing of breastfeeding milk substitutes in Niger. UNICEF prioritizes access to quality school services for children affected by crises and building resilience in schools. Conflict-affected children receive comprehensive child protection services, and cholera prevention and readiness and access to safe water remain as priorities. UNICEF leads the Education and WASH Clusters, the Child Protection Sub-Cluster and the Nutrition Technical Working Group in close collaboration with government counterparts. UNICEF technically leads the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM), implemented jointly by ACF, ACTED, DRC, IRC, OCHA, WFP and the government, and is responsible for the NFIs procurement. UNICEF is also an active member of the MSCWG. During the reporting period, the Child Protection sub-cluster continued to enable the use of CPIMS+/Primero :12 national trainers from six regions in the country followed a ‘refresher training’ on Child protection information management online system (CPIMS+). Members of the child protection sub-cluster were trained through online session on Standard Operating Procedures, case management forms, CPIMS+/Primero platform and system administration.
