Humanitarian Dashboard January to December 2020 As of 22 January 2021 NIGER Humanitarian Dashboard January to December 2020 As of 22 January 2021 SITUATION OVERVIEW Niger is facing a complex humanitarian emergency marked due to ongoing conflict and conflict insecurity and the effects of climate change. Moreover, endemic poverty and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic aggravate the already fragile humanitarian situation. Between 2019 and 2020, the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance increased by over 60%, from 2.3 to 3.7 million. According to the results of the «Cadre Harmonise,» between October and December, food insecurity in Niger has reached the level of crisis with 1.2 million people from all regions of the country, with a high concentration in eight departments (N'Gourti, Bosso, N'Guigmi, Madarounfa, Abala, Ayorou, banibangou, and Torodi). These eight departments are also experiencing considerable population movements and severe humanitarian access constraints due to insecurity. A total of 993 security incidents were reported in 2020, including attacks against civilians perpetrated by non-state armed groups, criminality, kidnapping, and gender-based violence. Among them, 287 incidents were directly affecting the humanitarian action and partners. These incidents instill fear among the population who flee their homes searching for refuge as a preventive measure. In 2020, about 564,000 people sought refuge from violence. On the US$ 516.1 million required by the 2020 Humanitarian Response Plan to provide lifesaving assistance to 1.8 million people in Niger, US$ 311 million (60 per cent of the required amount) were received as of 31 December 2020.

  • Final Narrative Report
    01/01/2019-31/12/2019 Agro-pastoral mediation in the Sahel region NARRATIVE REPORT 1 January to 31 December 2019 Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue 114 rue de Lausanne CH 1202 Geneva Tél : +41 22 908 11 30 www.hdcentre.org June 2020 Page 1 out of 8 01/01/2019-31/12/2019 1. Evaluation of the implementation of the activities of the action and of the results In the Sahel, agropastoral activities are highly dependent on climate variability. As a result, agropastoralists are constantly looking for strategies to enable them to effectively adapt their production systems to climate change. In recent years, politico-military crises and the occupation of certain areas by violent extremist groups have greatly disrupted traditional animal movements and caused a crisis of confidence between pastoral and agro-pastoral communities sharing the same geographical spaces and resources and have resulted in an increase in violence By the end of 2019, the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD) was supporting a network of 961 community mediators spread across 58 border communities in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and Niger in their efforts to resolve conflicts over access to natural resources. This network of mediators resolved 105 micro-conflicts and facilitated the return of 229 head of cattle, two plots of land and two motorcycles to their owners. This work reflects the project's objective to prevent the transformation of micro-conflicts into inter-community conflicts that could be triggered by armed groups operating in the Sahel region. Denmark and the European Union also fund the agro-pastoral mediation programme implemented by HD with the support of the Netherlands.

  • 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.

  • 2.3.2 Niger Border Crossing of Torodi
    2.3.2 Niger Border Crossing of Torodi Overview Daily Capacity Customs Clearance Other Relevant Information Overview The crossing at Torodi is set up the same way as the one at Gaya and share the same challenges. Torodi hosts a Customs Office, the CNUT, Soniloga and representatives from the Police Sanitaire that are charged with controlling incoming goods. The processes normally run smoothly and can be expected to be completed within two working days. Delays can arise due to problems with internet connection, and the crossing can in period be congested. A perpetual challenge is the ratio of trucks with Nigerien registration that is enforced by the CNUT and transporters union. The rule is that two thirds (2/3) of trucks for any combined cargo should be registered in Niger. However, there is often not enough Nigerien trucks available at the ports to clear the cargo and Togolese trucks are generally cheaper. Thus the rule is often violated which can lead to problems when crossing.

  • Murder in Tillabery: Calming Niger's Emerging Communal Crisis
    Murder in Tillabery: Calming Niger’s Emerging Communal Crisis Crisis Group Africa Briefing N°172 Dakar/Niamey/Nairobi/Brussels, 28 May 2021 What’s new? Recent massacres of villagers in Niger’s northern Tillabery region could mark a change in a conflict previously characterised mainly by fighting between jihadists and security forces. Authorities fear the growth of anti-jihadist vigilante groups could fuel more attacks on civilians. Why does it matter? Tensions between jihadists and vigilantes, which often pit communities against one another, could lead to clashes that imperil civilians and pose new challenges for the state, as seen in neighbouring Mali and Burkina Faso. Such clashes could fuel local grievances and provide the Islamic State with addition- al recruits. What should be done? Niamey should discourage vigilante group formation, which has spurred violence, and mediate communal disputes that fuel armed group recruitment. It should also explore adding locals to the security forces’ ranks, directing them to focus on protecting villagers from banditry, and seek ceasefires with militants. I. Overview Niger’s border region of North Tillabery, reeling from jihadist attacks on security forces, is now at risk of sustained communal violence. On three recent occasions, ethnic Djerma have been massacred, sparking fears of retribution spiralling out of control. An Islamic State affiliate has claimed two of the assaults. Djerma villagers talk of arming themselves against jihadists, who are locally perceived as mostly ethnic Peul and seen as primarily responsible for a surge in crime.
