USAID Yalwa technical approach - USAID Yalwa technical approach is grounded on an innovative market system strengthening approach that is facilitative and focused on sustainability – implementing the exit strategy from day one – while consolidating the progress made during the five years of the Resilience and Economic Growth Program in the Sahel - Accelerated Growth (REGIS-AG). A market system consists of all the market actors that collaborate, coordinate, and compete for the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Structurally, a market system is made of multiple interconnected parts that are further interconnected to other systems. In particular, commodity market systems are linked to supportive market systems (or cross-market functions) such as those for agricultural inputs, technical services, and financial investment. USAID Yalwa market system strengthening focuses on enhancing linkages, building capacity of market actors (especially their business, financial, and organizational effectiveness), and establishing supportive environments that create incentives for more efficient, competitive, and inclusive markets. Actors’ capacities are enhanced to allow them to assess market opportunities, plan their approach, obtain necessary resources and services, implement, and then adjust based on how well they are achieving their short- and long-term business goals. The sustainability focus is based on collaboration with influential local actors and networks that catalyze change at key points in the system. More specifically, USAID Yalwa's core approach to ensuring sustainability is to work through Unions to provide services to producer groups (e.g. access to agro-inputs, finance, market and climate information, skills development, group sales). To this end, USAID Yalwa builds the capacity of Unions to continue the provision of such service without project support. The approach also leverages commercial investments to build long-term linkages between buyers and sellers, and to ensure the 1 Yalwa means “fulfillment” or “blossoming” in the Hausa language. 1 consistent delivery of inputs and services over time. In addition to developing the skills of farmers, the approach also builds the skills of traders, processors, and other buyers so that they can earn a profit from their businesses,

    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.

Context of the mission : Due to a poor harvest in the Sahel Region (most affected countries are Chad and Niger and to a lesser extent Burkina Faso, Nigeria (Northern Sates), Cameroon (Northern region) and Mali (East)) which has put some two million people in Niger at immediate risk of severe hunger, WFP is scaling up its food and nutrition activities through its protracted relief and recovery operation (PRRO) 10611.0 “Improving the nutritional status and reinforcing livelihoods of vulnerable populations in Niger”. This will allow WFP to increase the number of people assisted from 941,000 to 2,448,000 by providing an additional 79,927 MT of food until the end of 2010. WFP also intend to deliver food to Chad population affected by the drought trough the Zinder-Diffa-Nguigmi- Chad Corridor. In such a context, WFP is preparing a response to this emergency situation; a strong augmentation of the logistics capacities (Storage, Transport and Staffing) in Zinder and Diffa is necessary. 2. Mission main objectives : Assess the corridor (Diffa - Nguigmi - Chad border) infrastructure Identify potential reliable commercial transporters in Diffa Identify potential storage space in Nguigmi Prepare a construction plan for the Logistics Hub in Diffa Prepare a construction plan for the future Logistics Hub in Zinder Identify the possibilities for water and electricity supply for Zinder Hub Identify potential/possible space for the erection of Rubhall in Gouré, Mainé- Soroa and Magaria departments identified for prepositioning of food distribution Assess the actual storage capacity in Zinder Region Page 1/12 4/21/2010 3.

  • USAID/DCHA Niger Food Insecurity Fact Sheet #1
    BUREAU FOR DEMOCRACY, CONFLICT, AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE (DCHA) OFFICE OF U.S. FOREIGN DISASTER ASSISTANCE (OFDA) Niger – Food Insecurity Fact Sheet #1, Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 March 16, 2010 BACKGROUND AND KEY DEVELOPMENTS Since September 2009, residents of agro-pastoral and pastoral zones throughout Niger have experienced increasing food insecurity as a result of failed harvests—caused by short seasonal rains—and a second consecutive year of poor pasture conditions for livestock due to prolonged drought. The late start, early conclusion, and frequent interruption of the seasonal rains also resulted in the failure of cash crops. According to the USAID-funded Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), the September harvests failed completely in 20 to 30 percent of agricultural villages in the pastoral and agro-pastoral zones of Diffa Region and Tanout, Mirriah, and Gouré departments, Zinder Region. Other affected regions include Maradi, Tahoua, and Tillabéri, according to Government of Niger (GoN) and relief agency assessments. In December 2009, the GoN conducted an assessment of food stocks in nearly 10,000 households. The assessment did not review household ability to purchase cereals. Based on the assessment findings, the GoN reported in January 2010 that the 2.7 million residents of Niger’s pastoral and agro-pastoral zones faced severe food insecurity—defined as having less than 10 days’ worth of food in the household—and requested international assistance. On March 10, GoN Prime Minister Mahamadou Danda, head of the transitional government that took office on February 23, appealed for $123 million in international assistance to respond to food security needs.

  • Ground Water Suitability for Irrigation in the Korama Basin, Southern Zinder, Niger
    International Journal of Research in Agriculture and Forestry Volume 2, Issue 8, August 2015, PP 55-64 ISSN 2394-5907 (Print) & ISSN 2394-5915 (Online) Ground Water Suitability for Irrigation in the Korama Basin, Southern Zinder, Niger Issoufou SANDAO1, 4, Maman Sani ABDOU BABAYE2, Boureima OUSMANE 1, Jean Luc MICHELOT3 1Department of Geology, Faculty of Science and Technology, Abdou Moumouni University, Niamey, Niger 2Department of Geology, Faculty of Science and Technology, Dan Dicko Dan Koulodo University, Maradi, Niger 3Laboratory of Hydrology and Isotope Geochemistry, UMR Orsay Terre CNRS, Paris-Sud University, apart. 504, 91405 Orsay, France 4Department of Water Resources, Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation, Niamey Niger, ABSTRACT In the Korama basin, groundwater is the main source of water supply for urban and rural populations and their livestock. However, following recurrent droughts over three decades having significantly reduced agricultural production, political authorities have opted for development of irrigated agriculture from groundwater, in order to fight against food insecurity. Also, it is necessary to know the suitability of water for irrigation. To this end, forty-two (42) water points were sampled to determine the physiochemical characteristics of different water tables. The analysis and processing of these physiochemical data by methods of conductivity, salinity, Sodium Residual (SAR), and Residual Carbonates have allowed to find that water is poorly mineralized in the area, and is generally of good quality (suitable) for irrigation. Keywords: hydrogeology, suitability, irrigation, Korama, Zinder, Niger INTRODUCTION In the Korama basin, groundwater is the main source for water supply of urban and rural populations and their livestock. But since the 1973-1974 great droughts, rainfall deficits that have followed each other have led to a drastic reduction in rain-fed agricultural production.
