The UN has played a critical and central role and is regularly confronted with episodes of in developing and designing the C2C, including food insecurity. As a result, it has a changing its own ways of working to support the N convergence approach. The UN, implementing actors patchwork of humanitarian and development actors working across the country, with limited government and government partners worked together to design oversight. The limited government funding and and plan nutrition programmes to be delivered in the oversight makes implementing large-scale, chosen communes. multisector programming very challenging. However, In August and October 2018 ENN’s team of regional the ‘communes de convergence’ (C2C) approach that knowledge management experts visited Niger to began in 2013 has offered a promising example of document the progress of the approach at national government and partner agencies improving and commune level. The visits offered a broad convergence and multisector collaboration in nutrition understanding of the work that has been done so far by working through communes (the lowest level of to reduce stunting in the regions, as well as the governance in the country). The approach came from challenges of the approach. The findings from the the 2012 establishment of ‘les Nigériens nourrissent visits offer other countries unique insights into les Nigériens’ (3N initiative or I3N). This high-level multisector programming at a sub-national level. body sits in the President’s office and has a mandate to coordinate nutrition across different sectors and The findings reveal that, while many challenges exist, implementing agencies in the country. the C2C approach offers a promising mechanism for ensuring coordination at a local level and avoiding Led by the 3N High Commission (HC3N) and UN duplication of services. Having all actors align around agencies, the C2C approach was rolled out in 35 pilot development work and providing a platform for communes in Niger over a four-year period from communication have been extremely valuable. 2013-2018. Communes were selected based on Stakeholders reported that improvements in planning vulnerability, with the most nutritionally vulnerable and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) at the commune communes given priority. The core concept of the level are already being seen as a result of the approach involves each commune developing its own approach. It has enabled joint UN programming, with annual plan through a consultative process, bringing all UN agencies slowly beginning to develop common together all main agencies involved in implementing programmes with common funding and shared nutrition activities in that commune. This is formalised responsibilities. It has also led to the strengthening of into a commune plan, which aims to provide a pre-existing programmes in the communes, such as complete picture of what is to be done, how much the ‘Initiative d'Accélération des Objectifs du each agency is committing to spending on what, Millénaire pour le Développement‘ (Millennium 1 Multisector programmes at the sub-national level: A case study of the communes de convergence approach in Maradi, Niger Development Goals Acceleration Programme), and horizontal and vertical coordination frameworks. That has enabled a local, contextualised focus on nutrition being said, Niger is a very challenging context in programming. Another positive aspect of the C2C which to conduct multisector programming and it has approach is that it has led to greater resources being been encouraging to see the C2C approach make channelled into priority communes. One example of strides in developing coordination mechanisms for this is the extra human resources being provided to joint planning and programming. This case study the communes through the UN Volunteers offers useful learnings to other countries in the West programme.

    Niger Page 1 of 3 Niger International Religious Freedom Report 2008 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and other laws and policies contributed to the generally free practice of religion. The Government generally respected religious freedom in practice. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the Government during the period covered by this report. However, in a few instances local authorities interrupted celebrations of Eid al-Fitr that were on different days than the Government's officially declared end of fasting. There were no reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice, and prominent societal leaders took positive steps to promote religious freedom. The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom with the Government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. Section I. Religious Demography The country has an area of 490,000 square miles and a population of 14.8 million. Islam is practiced by more than 90 percent of the population. Approximately 95 percent of Muslims are Sunni and 5 percent Shi'a. There are also small communities of Christians and Baha'is. Christians, both Roman Catholics and Protestants, account for less than 5 percent of the population and are present mainly in the regions of Maradi and Dogondoutchi, and in Niamey and other urban centers with expatriate populations. Adherents of Christianity include local believers from the educated, the elite, and colonial families, as well as immigrants from neighboring coastal countries, particularly Benin, Togo, and Ghana.

  • 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).
