Public Opinion Survey: Residents of Niger Public Opinion Survey: Residents of Niger October 3-18, 2020 Detailed Methodology • This survey was conducted on behalf of the International Republican Institute's Center for Insights in Survey Research. • Opinion Research Business International (ORB) oversaw data collection and quality control of survey data. Fieldwork was conducted by le Centre d’Incubation et de Promotion de l’Entrepreneurship et du Leadership (CIPEL), based in Niamey, Niger. • The nationally representative survey was conducted in-person using Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) from October 3 to October 18, 2020. The achieved sample size was 1,668 survey respondents, aged 18 and older. It consists of n=1,300 nationally representative interviews, and n=368 booster interviewers in Agadez and Diffa. • The sampling frame included all accessible localities of Niger based on the 2012 Nigerien census (Recensement général de la Population et de l'Habitat). For the randomly selected localities deemed inaccessible due to insecurity, flooding or other fieldwork contingencies, an established substitution protocol was adopted to replace them while respecting allocation at the regional level. Households were selected by random walk, and within each selected household, a respondent was randomly selected. • 15 percent of the total population was inaccessible due to high levels of insecurity. • 27 percent of Agadez, 53 percent of Diffa, 6 percent of Dosso, 26 percent of Maradi, 0 percent of Niamey, 1 percent of Tahoua, 40 percent of Tillabéri, and 3 percent of Zinder were inaccessible. • The estimated maximum sampling error for the national sample is ±2.7 percent. • The response rate was 97 percent. • The sample was weighted based on regional populations, urbanity, gender, education level, and age groups so that the final sample was in accordance with the census statistics of these categories. • Charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding. 2 Frequently Cited Disaggregates Disaggregate Disaggregation Category Base Agadez n=45 (unweighted n= 225) Diffa n=57 (unweighted n=204) Dosso n=331 Region Maradi n=53 Niamey n=96 Tahoua n=334 Tillabéri n=267 Zinder n=339 Male n=802 Gender Female n=866 18-35 n=894 Age Groups 36+ n=774 Employed n=186 Self-employed n=599 Occupational Status Homemaker n=633 Unemployed n=95 Student n=126 No formal education/Less than primary n=1157 Educational Attainment Primary n=397 Secondary or higher n=114 *Cited bases are weighted.

  • Threat Analysis
    Threat analysis: West African giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis peralta) in Republic of Niger April 2020 Kateřina Gašparová1, Julian Fennessy2, Thomas Rabeil3 & Karolína Brandlová1 1Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Kamýcká 129, 165 00 Praha Suchdol, Czech Republic 2Giraffe Conservation Foundation, Windhoek, Namibia 3Wild Africa Conservation, Niamey, Niger Acknowledgements We would like to thank the Nigerien Wildlife Authorities for their valuable support and for the permission to undertake the work. Particularly, we would like to thank the wildlife authorities’ members and rangers. Importantly, we would like to thank IUCN-SOS and European Commission, Born Free Foundation, Ivan Carter Wildlife Conservation Alliance, Sahara Conservation Fund, Rufford Small Grant, Czech University of Life Sciences and GCF for their valuable financial support to the programme. Overview The Sudanian savannah currently suffers increasing pressure connected with growing human population in sub-Saharan Africa. Human settlements and agricultural lands have negatively influenced the availability of resources for wild ungulates, especially with increased competition from growing numbers of livestock and local human exploitation. Subsequently, and in context of giraffe (Giraffa spp.), this has led to a significant decrease in population numbers and range across the region. Remaining giraffe populations are predominantly conserved in formal protected areas, many of which are still in the process of being restored and conservation management improving. The last population of West African giraffe (G. camelopardalis peralta), a subspecies of the Northern giraffe (G. camelopardalis) is only found in the Republic of Niger, predominantly in the central region of plateaus and Kouré and North Dallol Bosso, about 60 km south east of the capital – Niamey, extending into Doutchi, Loga, Gaya, Fandou and Ouallam areas (see Figure 1).

  • Overview of Key Livelihood Activities in Northern Niger
    Research Paper November 2018 Overview of Key Livelihood Activities in Northern Niger Rida LYAMMOURI RP-18/08 1 2 Overview of Key Livelihood Activities in Northern Niger RIDA LYAMMOURI 3 About OCP Policy Center The OCP Policy Center is a Moroccan policy-oriented think tank based in Rabat, Morocco, striving to promote knowledge sharing and to contribute to an enriched reflection on key economic and international relations issues. By offering a southern perspective on major regional and global strategic challenges facing developing and emerging countries, the OCP Policy Center aims to provide a meaningful policy-making contribution through its four research programs: Agriculture, Environment and Food Security, Economic and Social Development, Commodity Economics and Finance, Geopolitics and International Relations. On this basis, we are actively engaged in public policy analysis and consultation while promoting international cooperation for the development of countries in the southern hemisphere. In this regard, the OCP Policy Center aims to be an incubator of ideas and a source of forward thinking for proposed actions on public policies within emerging economies, and more broadly for all stakeholders engaged in the national and regional growth and development process. For this purpose, the Think Tank relies on independent research and a solid network of internal and external leading research fellows. One of the objectives of the OCP Policy Center is to support and sustain the emergence of wider Atlantic Dialogues and cooperation on strategic regional and global issues. Aware that achieving these goals also require the development and improvement of Human capital, we are committed through our Policy School to effectively participate in strengthening national and continental capacities, and to enhance the understanding of topics from related research areas.
