Revision 2006 Westafrica Eng.Pdf (English) FRANÇOIS LANDIECH/OCHA RO/NIGER/2005 Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP) The CAP is much more than an appeal for money. It is an inclusive and coordinated programme cycle of: • Strategic planning leading to a Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP); • Resource mobilisation (leading to a Consolidated Appeal or a Flash Appeal); • Coordinated programme implementation; • Joint monitoring and evaluation; • Revision, if necessary; and • Reporting on results. The CHAP is a strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given country or region and includes the following elements: • A common analysis of the context in which humanitarian action takes place; • An assessment of needs; • Best, worst, and most likely scenarios; • Stakeholder analysis, i.e. who does what and where; • A clear statement of longer-term objectives and goals; • Prioritised response plans; and • A framework for monitoring the strategy and revising it if necessary. The CHAP is the foundation for developing a Consolidated Appeal or, when crises break or natural disasters strike, a Flash Appeal. Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, the CHAP is developed at the field level by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Country Team. This team mirrors the IASC structure at headquarters and includes UN agencies and standing invitees, i.e. the International Organization for Migration, the Red Cross Movement, and NGOs that belong to ICVA, Interaction, or SCHR. Non-IASC members, such as national NGOs, can be included, and other key stakeholders in humanitarian action, in particular host Governments and donors, should be consulted. The Humanitarian Coordinator is responsible for the annual preparation of the consolidated Appeal document. The document is launched globally each November to enhance advocacy and resource mobilisation. An update, known as the Mid-Year Review, is to be presented to donors in July 2006. Donors provide resources to appealing agencies directly in response to project proposals. The Financial Tracking Service (FTS), managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), is a database of donor contributions and can be found on www.reliefweb.int/fts In sum, the CAP works to provide people in need the best available protection and assistance, on time.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The food security and nutritional crisis that affected a number of Sahelian countries in 2004-2005 highlighted once again the high level of vulnerability of the region’s populations, which stems from a combination of adverse events and structural factors, and impact the risk of infectious disease outbreaks as well as the population's psycho-social well-being, especially that of children and women. This vulnerability stems from a combination of economic and structural factors. Initiatives to address this situation in the long term are ongoing, but in view of the fragile outlook for the food security situation in certain areas of Sahelian countries during the 2006 lean season it will also be necessary to respond to short- and medium-term needs in an effective and well-coordinated manner. In spite of good results of the 2005/2006 harvests, the situation in certain areas of the Sahel is of great concern. Joint assessment missions in early December revealed that as early as March 2006, or June 2006 at the latest, households will be at risk of having a major food access problem again.1 The mission underlines that the favourable results of the 2005/2006 harvests should not obscure the very heavy carry-over of food and asset deficit from last year. With very limited food production, high livestock mortalities, and record high prices for millet and other cereals, 2004 had long-term consequences on household assets and savings, on levels of indebtedness, and on the health and nutritional status of the population. The record high prices for cereals in 2005 induced a major negative income effect on already impoverished households, and will constitute a very heavy burden in terms of debt repayment in 2005/06. In Niger, a sack of millet borrowed in the late spring of 2005, for instance, required at least 2.5 to 3 sacks of millet as repayment by October of the same year. Considering the deep and widespread indebtedness accumulated in 2004, the reduction of the food stocks available to households at the beginning of the 2005/06 marketing year will be considerable. An important aspect of the 2005 crisis was the very critical nutritional situation of young children. The crisis has been referred to as “an unprecedented nutrition crisis in children”. From September to November 2005 the United Nations Chidren’s Fund (UNICEF) conducted a series of rapid nutrition assessments in Burkina Faso, Mali and Mauritania as well as in-depth reviews of national surveys in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and Niger. The assessments and reviews show that in these countries there is a severe nutrition crisis in children that crosses borders; malnutrition is implicated in 52% of child deaths. In other words, half the child mortality burden in these countries is due to malnutrition in children (280,000 child deaths are attributable to malnutrition each year). According to UNICEF, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad all registered acute malnutrition rates for 6-59 months old above the 15% critical emergency threshold defined by the World Health Organization (WHO); Mali and Mauritania have acute malnutrition rates above 10% defined by WHO as a threshold for a ‘serious situation.’ The aggregated prevalence of acute malnutrition for all five countries is 15.2%. The above-cited facts demonstrate that the highly publicised nutrition crisis in Niger is only one representative sample of a region-wide nutrition crisis in children that requires an urgent and effective regional response. During the Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP) that led to the formulation of a Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP) for West Africa for 2006 it was agreed that since the level of food and nutrition assistance needed in the Sahel during 2006 could not be estimated prior to assessments in October and November 2005, an action plan and projects related to the food and nutritional needs in these countries should only be finalised upon completion of analysis after the harvest. In mid-January the revision process began and in February and March the four Country Teams in Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania and Niger as well as Regional Offices of the World Food Programme (WFP), UNICEF and WHO have reviewed the situation in consultation with concerned Governments and are hereby appealing for funds to cover humanitarian activities in the Sahel during the remainder of 2006. 1 From October 21 to November 4, the Government of Niger, FAO, and WFP (regional and country offices), CILSS/AGRHYMET, FEWSNet, and an observer from the US State Department’s bureau for humanitarian affairs carried out a preliminary assessment of food supply and food security. This was followed by a high-level visit to Diffa, Zinder, Maradi, Tahoua and Dosso Regions,

Executive summary The Niger is a food-deficit, land-locked least developed country ranked last in the 2018 Human Development Index. High levels of food insecurity and malnutrition are exacerbated by environmental degradation, poor natural resource management, rapid population growth, pervasive gender inequalities and climate shocks. Increasing insecurity and the spill over of conflicts induced by non-state groups from neighbouring countries compound these challenges, resulting in forced population displacements. This country strategic plan focuses on supporting government emergency response while implementing integrated resilience activities to protect livelihoods and foster long-term recovery. WFP also aims to strengthen national capacities in order to ensure the sustainability and ownership of zero hunger solutions, for example through measures to make the national social protection system more shock-adaptive and gender-responsive. The plan contains a multisectoral and integrated nutrition package, through which nutrition treatment and inclusive community-led nutrition-sensitive approaches will be aimed at strengthening local food production, promoting girls’ education and improving health and sanitation. The country strategic plan will be gender-equitable and will incorporate gender-transformative approaches to achieving zero hunger, including through the economic and social empowerment of women.

  • USAID/DCHA Niger Food Insecurity Fact Sheet #4
    BUREAU FOR DEMOCRACY, CONFLICT, AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE (DCHA) OFFICE OF U.S. FOREIGN DISASTER ASSISTANCE (OFDA) Niger – Food Insecurity and Malnutrition Fact Sheet #4, Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 September 29, 2010 Note: The last fact sheet was dated July 14, 2010. KEY DEVELOPMENTS In response to increasing food insecurity and deteriorating childhood nutrition, the U.N. World Food Program (WFP) launched an Emergency Operation (EMOP) for Niger on August 1 that aims to provide emergency food assistance to approximately 7.9 million food-insecure people. In August, WFP delivered more than 40,000 metric tons (MT) of emergency food assistance to nearly 3.9 million beneficiaries. In September to date, WFP has delivered more than 25,000 MT of emergency food assistance. To date, donors have provided approximately $151.3 million, or 71 percent, of the total $213 million requested for the EMOP. In late July and August, heavy rainfall caused flooding in Tillabéri, Tahoua, Maradi, Agadez, Niamey, and Zinder regions. Floods had affected more than 226,000 people as of September 3, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Floods also damaged more than 5,400 hectares of crops, mainly in Agadez Region. USAID/OFDA-funded programs are responding to acute malnutrition among children under five years of age through community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) and the procurement of ready-to-use therapeutic and supplementary foods and essential medicines. USAID/OFDA has also emphasized economic recovery and livelihood interventions, such as cash-for-work (CFW) and cash transfer programs designed to increase the purchasing power of food-insecure households in pastoral and agricultural areas.

  • Emergency Appeal Niger: Food Insecurity
    Emergency appeal Niger: Food insecurity Emergency appeal n° MDRNE010 30 January 2012 This Emergency Appeal seeks CHF 3,756,836 in cash, kind, or services to support the Red Cross Society of Niger (RCSN) to assist 350’000 beneficiaries for 9 months, and will be completed by the end of October, 2012. A Final Report will be made available by January 2013 (three months after the end of the operation). CHF 126,768 was allocated from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support this operation. Unearmarked funds to replenish DREF are encouraged. This Emergency Appeal aims to mitigate food shortages resulting from the bad harvests of 2011. This current food shortage is affecting about 3 million people in Niger and millions more over the Sahel region, and is being exacerbated by the rise in prices in the region. According to current estimates from the Niger Ministry of Agriculture and the Director of Statistics, the 2011/12 agro-pastoral season is marked by a deficit of 519,639 tons of cereals (14 percent of the cereal needs of the population) and 10,222,308 tons of forage. As a result, it is anticipated that the lean season will start early—possibly as early as January—instead of March as is customary, and that the affected population will not have the reserves or coping strategies to deal with this extended lean season. Poor and sporadic rainfall resulted in bad harvest. AAccording to the Niger Government, following the results of the Photo: Nathalie Bonvin/IFRC survey Household vulnerability to food insecurity in rural and urban area conducted in November 2011, more than 5,458,000 people (34.9 percent of the population) were in a situation of food insecurity, including 1,324,435 people (8.5 percent) who were severely food insecure.

  • Food Insecurity and Complex Emergency
    USAI FACT SHEET #12, FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2012 JULY 13, 2012 SAHEL – FOOD INSECURITY AND COMPLEX EMERGENCY KEY DEVELOPMENTS Insecurity in northern Mali due to renewed fighting between militant groups has triggered additional population displacement, both within the country and to neighboring countries. In the last two weeks of June, at least 15,000 Malian refugees arrived at Mbera camp in eastern Mauritania, bringing the total number of camp residents to more than 89,000 people, according to the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). UNHCR also reported that nearly 6,000 Malians have fled to Niger since June 30. Across the Sahel, many agro-pastoral areas and regions hosting refugees and displaced populations are experiencing food insecurity levels between Stressed—Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) 2—and Crisis—IPC 3—according to the USAID-funded Famine Early Warnings Systems Network (FEWS NET). In June, grain prices in the Sahel averaged 40 to 101 percent above normal seasonal prices, continuing to limit vulnerable households’ access to food. However, FEWS NET reports that rains began normally in parts of Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, and Niger, resulting in timely starts to the annual planting season in these countries. As of July 11, an increasing number of desert locusts had moved into central and southern parts of Niger and begun to breed, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). While insecurity has limited monitoring efforts, FAO believes that a similar situation is underway in northeastern Mali. FAO survey and control teams, in coordination with Malian and Nigerien national teams, are working to protect growing crops from locusts in accessible areas of both countries.

Abstract We assess the relative impacts of receiving cash versus food transfers using a randomized design. Drawing on data collected in eastern Niger, we find that households randomized to receive a food basket experienced larger, positive impact on measures of food consumption and diet quality than those receiving the cash transfer. Other outcomes showed greater variation by season. Receiving food reduced the use of a number of coping strategies but this effect was more pronounced during the height of the lean season.
