Pdf | 181.73 Kb NIGER World Food Daily Situation Report Programme 23 August 2005 1. HIGHLIGHTS The remaining 176 trucks loaded with maize en route from Cotonou have now crossed the bypass into Niger (carrying 6,790 MT). As of 22 August, a total of 3,186 MTs has been distributed to 215,544 people in the first round of general distributions. The current shortfall of WFP’s operation is 31.1 million US dollars, corresponding to 42,564 metric tonnes of food. 2. SECURITY No security incidents to report. The country of Niger is under security phase 0, with the exception of Agadez region which is under phase 1. 3. OPERATIONAL ISSUES All international staff (TDY, missions and long term CO staff) are now in place. The WFP sub-offices are fully functional with international Heads of Sub-Office at each office. VSAT installation is complete in Maradi and is being installed in Zinder and then the team will move on to Tahoua. 4. PROGRAMMING ISSUES 4.1 Target populations/beneficiaries WFP, the National Food Security Mechanism (DNPGCA1) and NGO partners are collaborating closely to reach the 2.7 million people that the Government’s National Early Warning system has determined are in urgent need of food aid. For the first round of general distributions, WFP food will reach 1.89 million beneficiaries and the rest will be covered by the DNPGCA, PLAN International and Catholic Relief Services2 (CRS) pipelines. In September, WFP and its partners will conduct a second distribution to the 1.7 million most food insecure beneficiaries. 4.2 Food Distributions For the 1st round of general distributions, WFP is collaborating with ABC Ecologie, Africare, CARE International, Caritas, CRS, GOAL, IFRC, PDR/ADM and World Vision. WFP has thus far dispatched a total of 5,460 MTs of food for these distributions, enough food to feed 318,388 people. 1 Dispositif National de Prévention et de Gestion des Crises Alimentaires- an institutional mechanism made up of the Government, donors and UN agencies responsible for the management of the national reserves of food and cash. 2 Please note that CRS purchased food as a one time activity and has no immediate intentions of maintaining a continuous pipeline in Niger. 1 1st Round General Distributions- Dispatches Departmen Beneficiarie Partner Region t s MTs ABC Ecologie Tillaberi Ouallam 45,927 812 CARE Maradi Tessaoua 20,013 302 GOAL Zinder Goure 13,580 260 GOAL Zinder Magaria 5,285 77 GOAL Zinder Mirriah 9,100 160 GOAL Zinder Zinder 13,580 200 HELP Tillaberi Tera 5,495 151 PDR/ADM Tahoua Keita 124,873 2,196 World Vision Maradi Dakoro 36,400 555 World Vision Maradi Mayahi 22,519 382 World Vision Zinder Goure 17,710 305 World Vision Zinder Mirriah 3,906 61 TOTAL 318,388 5,460 Distributions through the first round of general distributions began on 8 August by ABC Ecologie in the department of Ouallam.

RESOURCING AND PIPELINE Niger EMOP 10398.0 requires a total of 57.6 million US dollars. Overall, the operation is 43% funded, having received 26.5 million US dollars in contributions. The current shortfall is 31.1 million US dollars, corresponding to 42,564 metric tonnes of food. Despite the recently confirmed cash contributions to EMOP 10398 (enabling the purchase of an additional 600 MT of pulses), WFP continues to face a significant shortage of pulses for August and September. Given financial and logistic constraints, it is not envisaged that 100% of the pulse requirements for the two rounds of general distributions can be made available in time. For this reason, WFP is reviewing the potential to reduce the ration of pulses (from 15kg to 10 kg) in the second round of general distributions. The pipeline below takes this into account. Efforts continue to be underway to ensure that arriving commodities are targeting regions so that requirements of levels 1 and 2 (where needs are most acute) are prioritized. 2 In the below pipeline, the months of August and September have been joined so that the overall requirements and food arrivals for the two rounds of General Distributions (as well as the supplementary feeding during this time) can be reviewed together.

LOGISTICS The remaining 176 trucks loaded with maize en route from Cotonou have now crossed the bypass into Niger (carrying 6,790 MT). Some 105 trucks are already heading towards Niger EDPs, and the balance should complete customs formalities at the Niger border today. Another airlift of 105 MT CSB from Italy is arriving this afternoon. It is envisaged that there will be one last additional flight of 36 MT, which will complete the 950 MT planned in the airlift, on 31 August. WFP is putting in place a humanitarian air service and the airplane is in place in Niamey. A flight schedule is being developed taking in account the closing hours the airport due to runway repairs.

IAHS Publ. no. 232, 1995. 285 Isotopic study of rainfall in the Sahelian zone (Niger) along two sections, east-west (Lake Chad-Niamey) and north-south (Agadez-Niamey) J. D. TAUPIN ORSTOM, Mission au Niger, BP 11416, Niamey, Niger R. GALLAIRE ORSTOM, LHGI, Université Paris XI, 91400 Cedex Orsay, France J. CH. FONTES LHGI, Université Paris XI, 91400 Cedex Orsay, France Abstract During two years (1988, 1989) a study of rainfall isotopic content (2H, 180) was carried out in Niger. This study aimed at analysing the average oxygen-18 and deuterium contents of rainfall at the time scale of a storm at six stations in 1988 and 12 stations in 1989, spread out along two sections: east-west (Lake Chad-Niamey) which is the prevai­ ling direction of the mesoscale convective systems (MCS) circulation and north-south (Agadez-Niamey). These intersections are representative of the different rainfall regimes of the Sahel (100-800 mm). The oxygen-18 content of rainfall varies by more than 12 %o. The isotopic composition at the beginning of the season seems to be more enriched with heavy iso­ topes, which can be directly connected to the low rainfall amounts and the significant evaporation of water drops when falling through the atmosphere characterizing this period. The most depleted values are reached in August, the wettest month, when the vertical development of clouds is likely to be the strongest. The isotopic content of rainfall at the limit of the Sahelian zone is influenced by the evaporation during the whole rainy season.

  • Proposal for Niger
    AFB/PPRC.18/14 1 March 2016 Adaptation Fund Board Project and Programme Review Committee Eighteenth Meeting Bonn, Germany, 15-16 March 2016 Agenda Item 7 k) PROPOSAL FOR NIGER AFB/PPRC.18/14 Background 1. The Operational Policies and Guidelines (OPG) for Parties to Access Resources from the Adaptation Fund (the Fund), adopted by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board), state in paragraph 45 that regular adaptation project and programme proposals, i.e. those that request funding exceeding US$ 1 million, would undergo either a one-step, or a two-step approval process. In case of the one-step process, the proponent would directly submit a fully-developed project proposal. In the two-step process, the proponent would first submit a brief project concept, which would be reviewed by the Project and Programme Review Committee (PPRC) and would have to receive the endorsement of the Board. In the second step, the fully- developed project/programme document would be reviewed by the PPRC, and would ultimately require the Board’s approval. 2. The Templates approved by the Board (OPG, Annex 4) do not include a separate template for project and programme concepts but provide that these are to be submitted using the project and programme proposal template. The section on Adaptation Fund Project Review Criteria states: For regular projects using the two-step approval process, only the first four criteria will be applied when reviewing the 1st step for regular project concept. In addition, the information provided in the 1st step approval process with respect to the review criteria for the regular project concept could be less detailed than the information in the request for approval template submitted at the 2nd step approval process.
