  • Regreening in the Maradi and Zinder Regions of Niger
    Copyright © 2011 by the author(s). Published here under license by the Resilience Alliance. Sendzimir, J., C. P. Reij, and P. Magnuszewski. 2011. Rebuilding resilience in the Sahel: regreening in the Maradi and Zinder regions of Niger. Ecology and Society 16(3):1. http://dx.doi.org/10.5751/ES-04198-160301 Research, part of a Special Feature on Resilience and Vulnerability of Arid and Semi-Arid Social Ecological Systems Rebuilding Resilience in the Sahel: Regreening in the Maradi and Zinder Regions of Niger Jan Sendzimir 1, Chris P. Reij 2, and Piotr Magnuszewski 3 ABSTRACT. The societies and ecosystems of the Nigerien Sahel appeared increasingly vulnerable to climatic and economic uncertainty in the late twentieth century. Severe episodes of drought and famine drove massive livestock losses and human migration and mortality. Soil erosion and tree loss reduced a woodland to a scrub steppe and fed a myth of the Sahara desert relentlessly advancing southward. Over the past two decades this myth has been shattered by the dramatic reforestation of more than 5 million hectares in the Maradi and Zinder Regions of Niger. No single actor, policy, or practice appears behind this successful regreening of the Sahel. Multiple actors, institutions and processes operated at different levels, times, and scales to initiate and sustain this reforestation trend. We used systems analysis to examine the patterns of interaction as biophysical, livelihood, and governance indicators changed relative to one another during forest decline and rebound. It appears that forest decline was reversed when critical interventions helped to shift the direction of reinforcing feedbacks, e.g., vicious cycles changed to virtuous ones.

    The Cost of being Poor: Markets, mistrust and malnutrition in southern Niger 2005-2006. Simon Harragin (Consultant) Save the Children (UK) Final Version - 6th June 2006 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The following report describes a two month study undertaken by the consultant on behalf of Save the Children, to examine the origins of malnutrition in Niger, and particularly the crisis of 2005. It explains how, in a year of seemingly undramatic production failure, a combination of long-term structural problems and short-term cyclical factors led to a peak in admissions to feeding centres before, during and after the hunger gap of 2005. This peak was characterised by an initial inability on behalf of government and aid agencies to define whether the problems belonged within the remit of long term development policies or a short-term relief response, and so formulate an adequate reaction. High year-on-year levels of malnutrition in Niger caused a sense that 2005 was just business as usual for development agencies in the country, while relief agencies called for the situation to be recognised as a crisis. What the clash in perspectives proves is that it is probably unhelpful to filter all understanding of the Niger situation through the artificial lens of the division of labour of aid agencies. The current report, by combining published and unpublished data from both sides of this artificial divide, as well as direct fieldwork, sets out, in Part I a baseline analysis looking at the historical, social and geographic context, before describing in part II the events of 2005 and the reaction of humanitarian actors; the probable causes of the crisis are examined in detail in Part III and and the implications in terms of policy examined in part IV.

Abstract The Sahel is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change in the world. Located in the central part, Niger is facing many complex and interconnected challenges which strongly hinder the achievement of the key sustainable development goals (SDGs). The high population growth rate (3.8% per year), weak infrastructure capacity, shortage of essential resources (including water, energy, food) coupled with the adverse impacts of variability and climate change threaten the population and reduce the country’s economic growth efforts.

  • 1.7 Farmers' Strategies for Adapting to Climate Change in Niger
    1.7 Farmers’ strategies for adapting to climate change in Niger Soulé Moussa & Abasse Tougiani Urban farming in the green belt of Niamey. Photo: Soulé Moussa Introduction The West African Sahel is very vulnerable to the effects of climate change, due to land degradation, dependence on rainfed farm- ing, political instability, poor governance, food insecurity, terror- ism, poor infrastructure, and limited technical capacity. This has particular impacts on the agricultural sector (Sissoko et al. 2011; "With limited external Zougmoré et al. 2016). aid, farmers themselves High levels of poverty and illiteracy also challenge agriculture, have developed a range alongside a lack of adequate agricultural policies and agricul- of ways to increase their tural investment, and limited mechanization. Conflict also affects resilience." agricultural societies and pastoral activities (Snorek et al. 2014). In addition, there is population pressure. Niger has the world highest population growth (INS 2016), which leads to agricultural satura- tion, the now total absence of fallowing land and increased land- use conflicts. Soulé Moussa, Independent researcher, Niamey, Niger and Abasse Tougiani, Senior scientist agroforestry, Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique du Niger, Niamey, Niger. 77 — ETFRN News 60 — Climate change impacts on agriculture At the national level, the government estimates the agricultural population at 15,665,750: 7,917,439 male and 7,748,311 female (Ministère de l’Agriculture du Niger 2019). Agrosilvopastoral production sys- tems dominate, with millet and sorghum the main rainfed crops, and beans and groundnut the main cash crops (Ministère de l’Agriculture du Niger 2019). There is also some oasis agriculture (rainfed and irrigated), and limited urban and peri-urban farming and orchards.

  • The Quiet Revolution (How Niger's Farmers Are Re-Greening The
    Prepublication version THE QUIET REVOLUTION How Niger’s farmers are re-greening the parklands of the Sahel Trees for Change No. 12 II THE QUIET REVOLUTION: How Niger’s farmers are re-greening the parklands of the Sahel The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) is one of the Centres of the CGIAR Consortium. ICRAF’s headquarters are in Nairobi, Kenya, with six regional offices located in India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi, Peru and Cameroon. We conduct research in 23 other countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Our vision is a rural transformation in the developing world as smallholder households increase their use of trees in agricultural landscapes to improve food security, nutrition, income, health, shelter, social cohesion, energy resources and environmental sustainability. The Centre’s mission is to generate science-based knowledge about the diverse roles that trees play in agricultural landscapes, and to use its research to advance policies and practices, and their implementation that benefit the poor and the environment. The World Agroforestry Centre is guided by the broad development challenges pursued by the CGIAR. These include poverty alleviation that entails enhanced food security and health, improved productivity with lower environmental, and social costs, and resilience in the face of climate change and other external shocks. A typical parkland landscape at the end of the harvest season in southern Niger.
