UNICEF Niger Humanitarian Situation Report July 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 the regions of Tillabéri and Tahoua, the security situation remains worrying and characterized by the continued activism of armed groups in northern Tillabéri and on the border strip with Burkina Faso and inter-community tensions observed mainly in the Tillabéri region. According to the protection cluster, 16 villages in the commune of Torodi and 17 villages in the commune of Makalondi, all bordering Burkina Faso, are at high risk of population movements due to the activism of the GANE.

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.

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.

The Mali situation: began in 2012 with the outbreak of conflict in northern Mali. The regions of Tillaberi and Tahoua bordering Mali and hosting most of the Malian refugees are increasingly affected by insecurity and terrorism. A State of Emergency was declared last year, extended and further expanded to areas bordering Burkina Faso this year. There are currently 55,540 Malian refugees in Niger. The Government of Niger and UNHCR seek to accelerate the socio-economic integration of these refugees and the closure of the camps through urbanization by the end of 2020. 2. The Nigeria situation: began in 2013, with the arrival of the first Nigerian refugees across the border fleeing Boko Haram. The situation deteriorated with the first attacks in Niger territory in 2015.
