I. Executive Summary

During this quarter, REGIS-ER continued to implement its sustainability strategy in the eight communes of concentration under the Cost Extension; progressed with its grants program for youth, especially in Niger; collaborated closely with two RISE II partners, with the Sahel Collaboration and Communication (SCC) Project on capitalization and with the Water Security and Resilience Activity (WSRA) on Local Conventions in Tillabéri Region; and adapted its program and operating mode to the impending humanitarian crisis caused by the Coronavirus. Project operations became increasingly difficult during the quarter as the security situation continued to deteriorate in both countries. In Tillabéri Region, the Government of Niger (GoN) extended the prohibition on motorcycles to all parts of the region as of January 1, which made it difficult for project field staff to travel. In Burkina Faso, the humanitarian crisis worsened and the number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) increased dramatically because of the growing insecurity. Then, in early March, the Coronavirus began to disrupt project implementation and cause widespread anxiety throughout the zone of intervention, thereby exacerbating the already precarious situation there due to insecurity. Major activities implemented in this quarter include the coaching of Local Institutions (Institutions Locales, IL), the organization of IL peer learning events in both Niger (NE) and Burkina Faso (BF), the rolling out of the Positive Youth Development (PYD) approach, which laid the groundwork for promoting rural entrepreneurship and youth employment through a series of trainings and grants to youth and ILs. Project partners and beneficiaries successfully continued implementing key activities such as habbanayé, conservation farming (CF), community gardens, and bioreclamation of degraded lands (BDL). REGIS-ER continued coaching ILs by supporting Municipal Councils, Citizen Working Groups, Local Development Committees/Village Development Councils, platforms of Community-Based Service Providers (CBSPs) and Local Resource Persons (PRLs) in consolidating and scaling up successful activities and best practices. The coaching of targeted ILs in the eight communes of concentration through the implementation of their respective work plans enabled them to update their Commune Development Plans and mobilize resources to conduct development activities in their communes.  Municipal Councils (Conseils Municipaux, CM): By the end of the quarter, each of the eight communes of concentration had developed its own Commune Resilience Plan (Plan Communal pour la Promotion de la Résilience, PCPR). Municipal Councils throughout the ZOI were trained on how to identify and document successful activities for their participation in peer learning events and on how to play their key role in the coordination and allocation of grants, especially those for youth. Overall, the eight communes mobilized 774 242 000 CFA francs (over $1.3 million) for the implementation of their PCPRs during the quarter.  Citizen Working Groups (CWGs) and their partners at the community level, Local Development Committees (NE)/Village Development Councils (BF) [Comité Local de Développement / Conseil Villageois de Développement, CLDs/CVDs]: To date, all eight CWGs in the communes of concentration have received a provisional authorization to function, issued by the municipal authorities. REGIS-ER’s Regional Coordinators and “Project Coaches” (Coaches Projet, CP), based in the regional offices, continued to coach and advise CWGs on how to develop and implement their resource mobilization strategy and how to become a truly sustainable entity. And REGIS-ER’s “Coaches of PRLs and CLD/CVDs” (Coaches Personnes Ressources Locales, CPRL), based mainly in communes, continued to coach and advise CLD/CVDs on how to consolidate and scale-up resilience activities, despite the constraints of a deteriorating security situation which required some CPRLs to coach CLDs/CVDs from a distance. Despite the growing insecurity in the REGIS-ER

USAID|REGIS-ER FY2020 QR2 - page 2

ZOI and the restrictions imposed by the Government of Niger (GoN) and Government of Burkina Faso (GoBF) in response to the pandemic, CWGs have been instrumental in coordinating develop- ment activities at the community level. They collected data in villages and provided advisory support to CLDs/CVDs and PRLs. Most CWGs were able to implement their action plans and expand “successful [resilience] activities” to new villages in their commune. Some CWGs, like the one in Tagazar (NE), played a significant role in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, as local authorities relied on their WhatsApp group to disseminate awareness-raising messages.  Service Provider Platforms: During the quarter, the coaching teams made a concerted effort to professionalize and enhance the visibility of the commune-level CBSP/PRL platforms. In Manni and Gayérie Communes (BF), advisory support enabled these platforms to acquire their Facebook pages, WhatsApp groups, and visual identities. These communication tools constitute powerful channels for exchanging ideas and exploring business opportunities. Service Provider Platforms continued to provide goods and services to communities, particularly in the livestock and agriculture sectors. CBSPs in the eight communes had a combined sales revenue (turnover) of 38 501 745 CFA (almost $65 000).

During this quarter, in accordance with REGIS-ER’s annual work plan, the implementation of the grant program specifically targeted youth. As part of the community grants activity, 702 small ruminants were placed with 180 youth in five communes. REGIS-ER’s noteworthy accomplishment is that it placed local institutions at the forefront of the grants process and the local institutions successfully managed the entire placement process. The role of the project was limited; it provided ILs with technical assistance in order to ensure quality control and compliance with NCBA CLUSA’s procurement procedures and it made direct payments to suppliers.

On February 17, REGIS-ER and the Governor’s Office of Tillabéri Region co-organized a well-publicized ceremony to launch the youth training program in Niger. More than 2 400 youth – 1 200 from Sakoira Commune, 581 from Tagazar, 354 from Filingué and 287 from Tondikandia -- submitted applications (projects) for grant funding and 160 youth (40 per commune; 6.7% of all applicants) were short-listed as potential beneficiaries. The project contracted with the organization Empow’Her Niger to train these youth in developing their business plans and launching their enterprises. In BF, after a second solicitation, REGIS-ER selected the Regional Directorates for Youth and Promotion of Youth Entrepreneurship in Sahel and Est Regions to train the short-listed youth, but the training did not occur because of the pandemic. During the quarter, REGIS-ER continued its collaboration with WSRA (also known as TerresEauVie, TEV) on Local Conventions (Conventions Locales, CLs) in four communes of Tillabéri Region and forged a promising new collaboration with SCC on capitalization, a REGIS-ER priority in its final year of implementation. SCC played a key supporting role in REGIS-ER’s organization of the IL peer learning workshops in NE and in BF.

REGIS-ER faced two successive critical project management issues during the quarter: how to adapt project implementation first to the security/conflict-related travel restrictions and then to the unprecedented restrictions necessitated by the Coronavirus pandemic. The project relied primarily on the CWGs to resolve the first problem. As for the pandemic, REGIS-ER adapted by teleworking and by relying once again on the CWGs, whose WhatsApp platforms were an invaluable means of communication in their areas. This enabled REGIS-ER to effectively share guidelines about the pandemic, to continue to implement and monitor project activities (albeit at a reduced scale) and to collect data during this period.

REGIS-ER was also confronted with another major project management issue in March: a collection notice for payment of taxes issued by the GoN’s Directorate-General for Taxation (DGI). NCBA CLUSA accepted to pay a small portion of the total amount claimed (specifically, business taxes and related penalties), but the issue of the Value Added Tax exemptions has not yet been resolved.

II. Impact of Security on Project Management and Operations

The security situation In Tillabéri Region, the security situation continued to deteriorate during the quarter. An attack against a government military camp near the Malian border on January 9 resulted in the military’s heaviest losses since the beginning of the conflict. The insecurity has uprooted large numbers of people (as of March 31, there were about 50 000 IDPs in Tillabéri Region, as well as most of the 58 600 Malian refugees in Niger and some 3 300 Burkinabé refugees) and led the Government of Niger (GoN) to extend its prohibition on motorcycles to the entire region, as of January 1. This had major implications on project operations in all four communes of intervention. The project’s innovative response to this restriction was to expand the roles and responsibilities of the Citizen Working Groups in data collection and advisory support for CLDs/CVDs, thereby turning a problem into an opportunity. In Burkina Faso, the security situation remained critical, especially in Sahel Region. Increasingly, civilians were targeted by armed groups throughout the country. During a three-week span in February, three major security incidents occurred in Sebba Commune (Sahel Region), two targeting civilians and the other the security forces. (The project brought its two Coaches of PRLs/CVDs from Sebba to Dori.) Three other horrific incidents targeting civilians occurred during the quarter, two of which were in former communes of intervention (Bani in Sahel Region and Barsalogho in Centre-Nord Region). The humanitarian crisis worsened in tandem with the security situation. According to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the number of IDPs in Burkina increased by over 57% in only three months, from 486 000 (on November 29, 2019) to 765 000 (on February 27, 2020).

The Coronavirus In the early part of March, the Coronavirus began to disrupt normal implementation of the project, as the nature and scope of this threat, both globally and in NE and BF, became increasingly apparent. COVID-19 is a severe, multi-dimensional security threat to health, the economy (livelihoods) and food security, as well as almost every development-related sector. REGIS-ER’s adaptation to this unprecedented crisis quickly engulfed all other project management issues and considerations. REGIS-ER’s senior management analyzed the probable impact of the Coronavirus on the health of project staff, partners and beneficiaries and on project implementation (achievement of planned FY20 results). The team concluded that, despite the severe operational restrictions, REGIS-ER could adapt to a radically different operating environment and still progress towards achieving project objectives and at the same time reorient its program to address this unprecedented humanitarian crisis. The project’s Management and Technical Support Team addressed the programmatic questions, while the Program Support Team addressed the operational ones, which were in fact the most urgent ones to resolve. The Director of Administration and Finance focused on the key HR issue of staff protection (including preparations for teleworking) and adapted the project’s administrative and financial processes (including simplified procurement procedures) to the emergency context so as to ensure continuous and effective support to program activities. REGIS-ER closed all project offices on March 25 and the staff began teleworking. On the program side, REGIS-ER developed an action plan to support local institutions, primarily CWGs and CMs, in their commitment to fight the pandemic. REGIS-ER placed educational posters, sanitation kits and sponsored radio programs to limit the spread of the virus in all eight communes of concentration and carefully coordinated these interventions with the appropriate host government agencies. The first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Burkina occurred on March 9; in Niger it occurred ten days later. By the end of March, the number of confirmed cases had risen to 282 in Burkina and 34 in Niger.

III. Achievements of Local Institutions

Local Institution 1 - Municipal Councils (CMs) REGIS-ER continued to support the Municipal Councils in all eight communes throughout the second quarter, including the period after the pandemic began to significantly impact project implementation. Pursuant to its sustainability strategy, REGIS-ER signed coaching contracts with each CM during the first quarter. This quarter, the project’s support significantly improved the performance of CMs in resource mobilization to fund their Communal Resilience Plans (PCPRs) and increased their sense of ownership and engagement about applying the Positive Youth Development (PYD) approach to resilience activities.

Incorporating Commune Resilience Plans into Commune Development Plans

PCPR adoption session in Filingué, January 29 and 30, 2020.

By the end of the second quarter, each of the eight communes had produced its PCPR. Filingué (Tillabéri Region, Niger), the final commune to complete the process, adopted its PCPR on January 29-30, 2020. Having adopted their PCPR, the CMs were then faced with two follow-up challenges: (1) incorporating the PCPR into their Commune Development Plan (Plan de Développement Communal (NE) / Plan Communal de Développement (BF), PDC/PCD), the key planning document recognized by both the government and the technical and financial partners, and (2) funding the implementation of their PCPR (and of their PDC/ PCD as a whole). The project made funds available to CMs (7 000 000 CFA [$11 800] in Gayérie Commune, which was facing huge budgetary constraints, and up to 5 000 000 CFA [over $8 400] in the other communes) to help them update their PDC/PCD and mobilize resources to fund the imple-mentation of their PCPR and PDC/PCD. (Other commune partners also contributed funding.) An updated PDC/PCD (with the incorporated PCPR) provided pro-active CMs with the perfect tool for fund-raising with their partners individually or collectively (e.g., donor round tables). In terms of updating the Commune Development Plans, here are the results which the CMs achieved during the second quarter:  The process of updating the PCDs in Sebba and Seytenga Communes (Sahel Region, BF) started this quarter with the support of a consultant recruited with assistance from REGIS-ER and Eau Vive, an international NGO. On February 12, the various stakeholders (the two CMs, Regional Directorate of Studies and Planning, Directorate-General of Local Development, Eau Vive, and REGIS-ER) met with the consultant and reached a shared understanding of his Scope of Work. Everything is in place for the process to move forward smoothly, subject to the pandemic.

USAID|REGIS-ER FY2020 QR2 - page 5

 In Gayérie, the CM was scheduled to adopt the Testimony of a Local Authority: PCD during the quarter, but the session was postponed on two occasions, once because of Hamadi Boubacar, Mayor of Sebba security reasons and the second time because Commune (BF): “Before REGIS-ER came to of the pandemic.

As for Tondikandia Commune, the process of updating the PDC is still in the planning and budgeting phase. Unfortunately, the process of updating the PDCs/PCDs came to a standstill in March in Niger because of the pandemic and the prohibition on all workshops and conferences imposed by the government. Success of Municipal Councils in funding the implementation of their Commune Resilience Plans The CMs also made outstanding progress in mobilizing internal and external resources for implementation of their PCPRs. The eight communes have mobilized the enormous sum of 774 242 000 CFA (over $1.3 million) to fund eight of the nine successful activities and two other activities which Sebba and Seytenga Communes added to the list of activities to consolidate and scale up. (The addition is a real sign of success because it indicates a strong sense of ownership by the two Municipal Councils.) The table below presents the amounts mobilized by commune.

Success of CMs in applying the Positive Youth Development approach to resilience activities As the entity with the main responsibility for planning and coordinating resilience activities in communes, the Municipal Councils demonstrated their strong commitment and determination by associating partners and other local institutions in their efforts to orient resilience activities favorable to youth. (These ILs and partners included the commune-level Citizen Working Groups and their community-level partners, the Local Development Committees/Village Development Councils, as well as the Service Provider platforms.) The initiatives of the Municipal Councils produced the following positive results during the quarter:  All eight CMs in the ZOI aligned their planning with the PYD approach, giving priority to young men and women in the grants program and in the implementation of other activities at the community and commune levels. This clearly indicates their sense of responsibility. In the targeted communes, the process of selecting beneficiaries and placing habbanayé assets was conducted under the leadership of CMs, with the support of CWGs and CLDs/CVDs. The CMs played a key role by ensuring that the decision to give priority to youth was carried out. In Animal placement ceremony with 36 young beneficiaries, held on the premises of the Mayor’s Office of Filingué the eight communes, young people in the age range of 15-35 constitute at least 91% of the beneficiaries of habbanayé operations.

 In Tillabéri Region (NE), the process of short-listing and selecting young business promoters was also conducted under the CMs’ leadership and with the full involvement of CWGs and CLDs. The CMs successfully oversaw the process that resulted in the short-list of 160 young men and women (40 per commune) as potential grant awardees. An incubator – an organization called Empow’Her Niger -- trained these youth in entrepreneurship, including the development of business plans. The Filingué Special Delegation1 also made a commitment to put the shortlisted young people in contact with Micro-Finance Institutions in Niamey in order to support them in the creation of their businesses.  The CMs of Gayérie and Manni (Est Region, BF) advocated with the networks of Community Relay Agents (“ARCs” provide technical assistance and support to the community-managed savings and loan groups called “SECCA”), in favor of emerging young ARCs and enlargement of the membership in the SECCA groups to young people when the new savings and loan cycle resumes.

Local Institution 2: Citizen Working Groups (CWGs) and Local Development Committees / Village Development Councils (CLDs / CVDs) In order to support community-based entities and their initiatives, REGIS-ER created a commune-level civil society organization, the Citizen Working Group (CWG), which collaborates closely with village-level partners, Local Development Committees (NE)/Village Development Councils (BF) known as CLDs/CVDs. During the quarter, all of these entities made major progress on taking ownership of resilience activities.

Success of CWGs in taking ownership of activities: planning aligned with the PYD approach, scaling-up of activities by CLDs / CVDs, data collection and reporting Despite the travel restrictions (motorcycle ban) in Tillabéri Region, the CWGs displayed their resilience by covering most of the REGIS-ER intervention villages as well as some villages that are not part or are no longer part of the project’s ZOI, and ensuring follow-up and coordination of activities at the community level. This quarter, the CWGs in Niger and Burkina Faso achieved the following results:  The eight CWGs implemented action plans that took into account the needs and aspirations of young people and produced monthly reports that integrated data from CLDs / CVDs.  Information, awareness-raising, selection and monitoring of 180 young beneficiaries of Habbanayé grants in five communes.  Ownership of the WhatsApp communication platform by the four CWGs in Niger has enabled to provide information and raise awareness and to instantly follow up with CLD/CVDs, CBSPs and PRLs in order to ensure the continuity of activities and dissemination of best practices.  Establishment of 29 new CLDs in Niger -- 12 in Tondikandia Commune, 10 in Filingué, six in Sakoira, and one in Tagazar.  Consolidation and scaling up of activities in villages that are not part of REGIS-ER’s ZOI (creation of Mother-to-Mother [MtM] and SECCA groups and setting up gardens).  CWGs took creative and collaborative initiatives to scale up CLDs. At the request of the Filingué CWG, the Tondikandia CWG set up a new CLD in Kangnazé, a village located in Establishment of a new CLD by the CWG Filingué Commune. Kangnazé is much closer to Damana, of Tagazar (NE), shared on WhatsApp Tondikandia Commune’s capital, than to Filingué (145 km away). Since both communes are in the same department, the initiative made perfect sense.  Active participation of the Filingué and Tondikandia CWGs in the process of updating their PDCs.  Addition of youth representatives to all eight CWGs.  Under the leadership of the Filingué CWG, revitalization of the Commune Youth Council and establishment of village youth committees in eight villages of the commune.  Mobilization of internal resources through personal contributions to carry out activities.

Partnerships with various projects Given the deteriorating security situation in the two countries, which makes it difficult or impossible for REGIS-ER’s commune-based field staff (“Coaches of PRLs and CLD/CVDs”, CPRL) to travel to villages by motorcycle, making use of the services of the CWGs was clearly the best alternative and consistent with REGIS-ER’s sustainability strategy of promoting local institutions. In fact, other projects are increasingly using the services of the CWGs for the implementation of their activities at the commune level. This too was a key element of the project’s sustainability strategy as REGIS-ER encouraged RISE II implementing partners to make use of the local human resources that it had trained and supported over the years, including CWGs, CPSP platforms, PRLs, etc. The main partners and services requested are as follows:  REGIS-ER uses the eight CWGs to collect data, to Testimony of a CVD Member: assess activities in villages that are not part of the project’s ZOI, and to monitor the functioning Yarga Chantal, CVD member in Bangaye, of community entities. This partnership made it Manni Commune (BF): “Before the possible to extend CWGs’ range of action to 138 capacity building support we received from villages that are not part of the project’s ZOI -- REGIS-ER, the 12 members of the CVD 81 in BF (60 in Manni, 8 in Gayéri, 8 in Seytenga, executive committee in the village of and 5 in Sebba) and 57 in NE (12 in Sakoira, 28 in Bangaye did not know what its role and Tondikandia, 9 in Filingué, and 8 in Tagazar). responsibilities were.

Challenges facing the CWGs

The main challenges facing the CWGs include the following:  Coverage of all villages in a commune, especially the difficulty of quality assurance in new villages;  Finalization and implementation of the CWGs’ resource mobilization strategy;  Official recognition of the CWGs by the government (central level); and  Lack of material resources (computers, photocopiers, etc.) of some CWGs.

Success of CLDs / CVDs in taking ownership of activities: Planning aligned with PYD, scaling up of at least five of the nine resilience activities, and collecting and sharing data with CWGs

During the second quarter, CLDs / CVDs achieved the following results: • A total of 166 CLDs/CVDs -- 67 in BF (12 Seytenga, 10 Sebba 15 Gayérie, 30 in Manni) and 99 in NE (17 in Sakoira, 19 in Filingué, 27 in Tagazar, 36 in Tondikandia) -- implemented action plans aligned with PYD and collected and shared data with the CWGs. USAID|REGIS-ER FY2020 QR2 - page 9

• Fifty CLDs/CVDs -- 25 in BF (9 Seytenga, 7 Sebba, 1 in Gayérie, 8 in Manni) and 25 in NE (5 in Tagazar, 9 in Tondikandia, 11 in Sakoira) -- scaled up five of the nine successful resilience activities. • Creation of village youth committees and the addition of young people to the CLD / CVD executive committees in successful villages in both countries. • Resource mobilization for the implementation of development actions: The Louma CLD (Filingué, NE) mobilized the sum of 4 000 000 CFA ($6 745) from village residents and the diaspora, to build a house for the health workers at the Integrated Health Center in the village. • The Tondikandia and Filingué CLDs actively participated in the data collection and diagnostic analysis (by zone) during the process of updating and re-planning the PDCs in their communes.

Local Institution 3: Service Provider Platforms -- Community-Based Solution Providers (CBSPs) and Local Resource Persons (PRLs)

During the quarter, REGIS-ER continued to support the commune-level Service Provider Platforms, composed primarily of Community-Based Solution Providers. The project signed a coaching contract with the Tondikandia platform, the sole remaining platform without a contract at the end of last quarter. REGIS-ER's support to CBSPs aims to boost their performance in providing quality goods and services that promote resilience to food and nutrition insecurity. The salient results obtained are:

Success achieved through communication and marketing To increase their business, CBSP platforms initiated communication and marketing actions to promote their goods and services. Thanks to support from REGIS-ER, they achieved the following results during the quarter:

• The Manni and Gayérie platforms created WhatsApp communication groups, Facebook pages, and email accounts ([email protected] and [email protected]). REGIS-ER trained the platform managers on the use of groups / pages on social networks in order to ensure complementarity and promote business opportunities. The two platforms also came up with logos to mark their visual identities.

 The Manni and Gayéri platform leaders also participated in commune meetings to share and exchange views on the TEV Project activities organized in Est Region. These meetings were a success, because the platforms seized the opportunity to promote their services and signed contacts with TEV and other organizations in order to develop partnerships.  The two platforms explored partnership opportunities with companies producing livestock feed and organic pesticides such as Bioprotect and La Générale des Oléagineux and eventually signed an USAID|REGIS-ER FY2020 QR2 - page 10

agreement with Bioprotect which accepted to support CBSP members through setting up shops and supplying organic pesticides with very flexible payment terms and attractive discounts. The leaders of the two platforms sent official partnership letters to the various CMs. Such an approach, if successful, would allow CBSPs to provide goods and services to communes (i.e., to obtain institutional orders).  In Seytenga and Sebba Communes, 22 CBSPs (12 in Seytenga, 10 in Sebba) developed business plans with REGIS-ER’s support.  In Seytenga Commune, REGIS-ER put various CPSPs in contact with potential partners and clients. The NGO Veterinarians without Borders (VSF) provided some livestock promotion materials (five carts, wheelbarrows, basins, drinking troughs, buckets, sickles, scales, rolls of wire, shovels, machetes, picks, pairs of gloves, and rakes) worth 1 046 250 CFA ($1 764), as post-training support. One CBSP received orders from two local NGOs for livestock feed -- one from A2N (a former REGIS-ER consortium mem- ber) for six tons of cottonseed and 40 bales of hay and the other from AES for two tons of cottonseed.  The Sakoira platform (Tillabéri Region, NE) funded with its own resources the broadcasting of advertising spots on community radios in Sakoira and Sinder. For one month, these radio stations promoted the platform's services twice a week. In addition, members of the platform organized information meetings in all the villages and hamlets of the commune. These actions extended the geographic range of the platform which receives requests for services from the communes of Sinder, Dessa, Gorouol and Dargol. Importantly, the commune provided an office to the Sakoira platform.  Creation of 2,290 full-time jobs in Niger during the, including 1,539 in Tagazar, 385 in Tondikandia, 205 in Sakoira, and 161 in Filingué.

CBSPs in both countries had satisfactory sales revenue (turnover) during the quarter. The table below presents the figures by category of CBSP and by country; the tables in Annex 6 provide further details.

Legal recognition of the platforms Legal recognition is a key element of the functionality of a platform. This recognition gives the platform the credibility that allows it to bid on public contracts and to develop partnerships with microfinance institutions and banks. The main successes achieved during the quarter include the following: • The Manni CBSP platform (Est Region, BF) obtained its legal recognition (receipt - N◦ PNG0047 of 02/13/2020), which gives it the status of an association in accordance with the provisions of Law 064-2015/CNT on the freedom of association in Burkina and it was registered under the name of Professional Association of Manni Service Providers (APAPS-Manni). USAID|REGIS-ER FY2020 QR2 - page 11

• The Gayéri CBSP platform (Est Region, BF) is awaiting its receipt, which was delayed due to strikes conducted by the agents in charge of its issuance. • Sakoira’s CBSP platform received its authorization from the commune on August 5, 2019. During the second quarter, the platform began the process of registering the platform in the official journal, which will allow it to legally explore greater opportunities and extend its geographic range of operations to other communes. To obtain this approval, which is granted to entities that operate at the departmental level, the platform engaged in discussions with the Mayor of Dessa Commune (Tillabéri Department), who is very interested in the idea of expanding platform activities to his commune and the community.

Challenges facing CBSP platforms Two of the main challenges facing CBSPs are: • Finalizing the process of obtaining official recognition in Gayérie, Sakoira, Tagazar, Filingué and Tondikandia Communes; and • Increasing platform visibility and business opportunities through the creation of WhatsApp groups and other networks, which are excellent channels for exchanging ideas and exploring business opportunities.

Successes of Local Resource Persons (PRLs) Local Resource Persons play a key role in the continuation of resilience activities. Their services are requested mainly by CLDs/CVDs. During this quarter, 938 PRLs were contacted -- 447 in BF and 491 in NE. These convincing results were achieved thanks to the services provided by PRLs: • Facilitation of regular discussions of MtM groups in all eight communes. • Facilitation of regular meetings of SECCA groups and the creation of 82 new SECCA groups in the two countries -- 67 in NE and 15 in BF; • Monitoring of habbanayé operations and the organization of animal placements and transfers; • Bioreclamation of 271 hectares of degraded land in Niger -- 20 hectares in Filingué Commune and 251 hectares in Sakoira Commune (NE), the latter with the support of Mercy Corps.

IV. Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning and Capitalization

Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) In its FY20 Annual Work Plan, REGIS-ER aligned its sustainability strategy with the Positive Youth Development approach to guide the implementation of its resilience activities in its final year. In addition to its regular duties of monitoring data collection and quality and preparing required reports, the M&E unit focused on the following activities during the second quarter: • Building capacity of regional M&E staff and Regional Coordinators, including on the PYD approach; • Verifying that the implementation of the M&E system is aligned with the PYD approach; • Contributing to the revision of USAID’s Performance Progress Report (PPR); and • Contributing to the preparation of the Terms of Reference for the final evaluation of REGIS-ER. Capacity building of the regional M&E specialists and Regional Coordinators To ensure that the overall approach of the project is aligned with the PYD approach, the M&E unit organized capacity-building sessions in BF and Niger for M&E specialists and Regional Coordinators on the new M&E system guidelines. The capacity building focused on the implications of the alignment of the new M&E system with the PYD approach and resulted in a shared understanding of the indicators, data collection forms, validation chain and data flow diagrams. The M&E unit developed a rigorous data collection plan, including monitoring tools. This allows the M&E team to review weekly the datasheets collected by the CPRLs to ensure the quality and regularity of the data collected and to make any needed corrections. This practice was initiated in March and significantly improved the quality and quantity of data collected on field activities, compared to January and February. Unfortunately, the pandemic started to have a negative impact on the data collection process because of the restrictions initiated in March on travel and gatherings, which affected such actors as CBSPs/ PRLs, CVDs/CLDs, CWGs and ILs in general. Verification of the alignment of the M&E system with the PYD approach The project verified the quality of data reported last quarter in all four regional offices in order to meet its commitments in terms of data quality assurance and the requirements in terms of the number and gender of young beneficiaries (90% youth, 30% of whom are women) to be reached and the number of new villages to scale up. This ensured that the ILs followed the data collection and transmission system (that the datasheets are filled out correctly by the communities, with the support of the CPRLs, and that data are disaggregated by gender and age groups [15-35 and over 35], in accordance with the standards of the PYD approach) and that the project complied with the data quality criteria. Contribution to the review of the PPR

In preparation for USAID’s portfolio review (due to start in Burkina in late March), USAID and REGIS-ER had several discussions about the performance level of the indicators in the project’s Performance Progress Report (PPR) that assessed the implementation of resilience activities conducted by ILs. REGIS- ER provided answers to USAID’s questions and comments. Contribution to the preparation of the Terms of Reference for REGIS-ER’s final evaluation The M&E unit also contributed to the preparation of the Terms of Reference for the final evaluation of REGIS-ER, which will be organized in collaboration with USAID. This contribution focused on the design of the evaluation questionnaire and the choice of survey methodology.

Learning and Capitalization Two national experience-sharing workshops involving local institutions In order to allow local institutions to share their best practices, experiences and challenges with one another on resilience-related local governance, REGIS-ER organized two national peer learning workshops in February 2020, one in Niamey (February 4-5) and the other in Ouaga (February 20-21). Each workshop brought together more than 100 actors from the ILs in the four communes of concentration in each country, plus the Prefects of the departments in which the communes are located. Representatives of ILs in communes from which REGIS-ER withdrew in September, 2019 also participated, as did representatives from the ministries that oversee NGOs (Ministry of Agriculture and Hydro-Agricultural Development [BF] and Ministry of Community Development and Land Use Planning [NE]) and from various line ministries. In addition to the REGIS-ER regional teams, representatives of the following projects attended the workshop: Sahel Collaboration and Communication (SCC), Sahel Human Voice in Governance Activity (SHIGA), TerresEauVie (TEV), Participatory Responsive Governance – Principal Activity (PGR-PA), Victory against Malnutrition Plus (ViMPlus), Evidence to Action (E2A), and Improving Malaria Care (IMC).

One of the flagship sessions of these workshops was the knowledge market where each institution in each commune shared its successes with the other communes, which allowed the ILs to inspire one another. This exercise was highly appreciated and strengthened the capacities and motivation of ILs to take charge of resilience activities. The workshop participants also recognized the importance of strengthening communication among ILs in each commune, in particular via WhatsApp groups, and gained a better understanding of the security conditions in which the various actors intervene. At the time, the project planned to organize a follow-up workshop next quarter in each country on lessons learned from the imple- mentation of PYD-related activities and to invite more participants from the central-level directorates of the ministries in order to encourage a larger dissemination of best practices. However, Coronavirus- related restrictions on gatherings will probably prevent the organization of the workshops next quarter.

Collaboration with USAID-funded projects and other partners intervening in communes of concentration REGIS-ER continued to collaborate with several projects funded by USAID and by other partners in order to sustain project activities at the community level. Collaboration with TEV on local conventions (CLs) has been noteworthy. In Sakoira and Filingué Communes (NE), REGIS-ER and TEV established partnerships to co-finance CLs. And in Filingué, REGIS-ER and the Disaster Risk Management and Urban Development Project (PGRC-DU) shared costs to integrate the CL into the PDC. The two projects also collaborated in Imanan Commune (NE), where REGIS-ER had once intervened, to share costs on updating the PDC. During the quarter, REGIS-ER and the SCC Project began a promising collaboration in organizing the two experience-sharing workshops. This collaboration has great potential, as REGIS-ER will focus on capitali- zation during its final year and SCC is mandated, well-positioned and quite willing to support that effort. In NE and BF, REGIS-ER continues to play the role of catalyst to support its communes of concentration in their efforts to mobilize resources for the updating of their PDC / PCD which will integrate the PCPR and Local Conventions as part of their operational strategies.

USAID|REGIS-ER FY2020 QR2 - page 14

Capitalization of REGIS-ER’s work on Local Conventions and Citizen Working Groups REGIS-ER commissioned a case study on Local Conventions, conducted by an international consultant and two national consultants, which was finalized during the quarter and which will be published next quarter. The case study should prove quite useful to USAID to implementing partners involved in CLs, such as TEV. In late January, the project commissioned a study “to assess the operational effectiveness and impact of Citizen Working Groups and the prospects for sustainability, within the local governance system”. The consultant will submit the study by April 30.

V. Securing land tenure for women During the second quarter of FY20, local institutions did not make significant progress on securing land tenure, in part because of the persistent insecurity and internal displacements of the population and then because of the Coronavirus pandemic, which brought the normal functioning of institutions to a standstill. A total of 23 hectares were secured – one ha in Tondikandia Commune and 22 ha in Seytenga Commune (at the market gardening site at the Seytenga dam), an achievement that was made possible thanks to support from the rural land service of the commune.

VI. Cross-cutting activities

Communications

Communication Materials During this quarter, REGIS-ER produced multiple communication materials to increase project visibility. These included the first issue of the monthly newsletter, two technical briefs (one on habbanayé, the other on local conventions), a promotional video presenting key project activities and results, and a success story on commune authorities taking ownership of the habbanayé practice and scaling up the activity throughout the commune: https://ncbaclusa.coop/blog/in-burkina-faso-empowering-local- actors-to-take-the-reins-of-resilience-building/. The project also published an article on the NCBA CLUSA website about best practices observed, based on the report of the February 2020 workshops on peer learning among local institutions.

Lastly, the project produced a success story for this quarterly report on the performance of Seytenga Commune regarding land tenure and its impact on conflict prevention and management. (See Annex 3.)

Media coverage of the national experience-sharing workshops The two national experience-sharing workshops held in February, 2020 to promote peer learning among local institutions on resilience-related local governance in the REGIS-ER ZOI received considerable media coverage. The February 17 official launch of the entrepreneurship training workshop for 160 young women and men from the four communes of Tillabéri Region also received extensive media coverage. The event was covered by Niger’s National Television (ORTN Télé Sahel) and three private stations -- USAID|REGIS-ER FY2020 QR2 - page 15

Dounia Television, Bonferey Television and Niger24 Television. In BF, the experience sharing workshop was covered by LeFaso.net, which published an article on its site with the following link: https://lefaso.net/spip.php?article95020 , which was relayed by their Facebook account: https://web.facebook.com/lefaso.net/posts/3084817358206985

Use of Facebook by local institutions coached by REGIS-ER This quarter the Municipal Councils of Sebba and Seytenga (Sahel Region, BF) each had posts on their Facebook pages -- which had previously been used very rarely -- about resilience issues (on Sebba’s local convention and on Seytenga’s habbanayé operation). The project aims to strengthen the use of social media by CMs on resilience issues so as to better inform the population and the commune’s partners. The CM of Seytenga also published a post on the experience sharing workshop between local institutions.

Analysis of the functionality of commune WhatsApp groups for better communication among ILs In order to strengthen communication among the three commune- level ILs, the project encouraged the establishment of commune WhatsApp groups. During the experience-sharing workshops involving ILs, the use of this means of communication was assessed and analyzed. The workshop recommended that CBSPs and PRLs be brought together as national platforms through a WhatsApp network.

Implementation of Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (EMMP) During the second quarter of FY20, REGIS-ER’s regional teams continued to coach local institutions on the importance of implementing the mitigation measures. Achievements made include the following: Regarding the negative impact of the use of fertilizers and pesticides In the Balleyara area (Tillabéri Region, NE), CLDs in villages with market gardens continued to promote the use of improved seeds and of organic manure to fertilize the soil and the production of bio-pesticides for plant protection. In Sakoira Commune (Tillabéri Region, NE), market gardening producers made compost with crop residues, household waste and organic manure. Regarding the negative effects related to livestock activities In Sakoira Commune, habbanayé beneficiaries continued to invest in feed for the animals they received. In addition, with the support of other partners that collaborate with the commune there were efforts to recover and restore degraded pasturelands (through revegetation) so as to increase their grazing capacity. (For example, a Mercy Corps project has recovered 294 hectares of degraded pasture lands.) Other initiatives include making of salt licks/licking blocks, the production of hyacinth beans and cowpea using recessional agriculture, and the treatment of straw with urea. Regarding the negative impact related to hydraulic services In the Balleyara area, Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) Committees continued to organize hygiene sessions in collaboration with the Water Point Management Committees (Comités de Gestion des Points d’Eau, CGPEs) at such strategic points as the immediate area surrounding a water point to avoid water USAID|REGIS-ER FY2020 QR2 - page 16

contamination by surface waste. All of the water installations provided by the project already have adequate superstructures. For all new boreholes, the presence of direct sources of pollution was avoided thanks to the careful design of the infrastructure. The CGPEs and water users were also informed that they must avoid building latrines near (within 15 meters of) the water point so as not to contaminate the resource. In Sakoira Commune, the CGPEs with the support of the CLD, WASH focal point and CWG, continue to ensure the monitoring and maintenance of the water installations provided not only by REGIS-ER, but also others existing in the villages, through hygiene sessions and compliance with the standard rules of usage. A physical, chemical and bacteriological analysis conducted as part of the monitoring of environmental standards to ensure water quality control was carried out in collaboration with the Regional Directorate for Water and Sanitation. A total of 15 boreholes (seven in Kourthey and eight in Sakoira) were tested in order to mitigate potentials impacts due to activities related to the construction of the water points. The training provided by the CPRLs to CGPEs on structuring the payment of water services based on an operating statement [“compte d’exploitation”] helped ensure continuity of the service, thereby protecting users from water-borne diseases they could contract from using an alternative source of drinking water. In Est Region (BF), the importance of good hygiene and sanitation was emphasized during the awareness- raising sessions for CVDs and Water User Associations (Associations des Usagers de l’Eau, AUEs) in 20 villages in Manni Commune. The results achieved during the quarter can be assessed based on the AUEs’ functionality, especially such aspects as the hygiene and cleanliness of the water points, the ability to pay for repairs, and the capacity of users to contribute to the costs of renewing the executive committees of the AUEs. In this case, the 20 CVDs mobilized 500 000 CFA ($ 843) for the renewal of their AUEs.

VII. Project management

Program Support

During this quarter, REGIS-ER’s program support continued to focus on the implementation of the close- out strategy, particularly Positive Youth Development-related actions (grants). In addition, the project had to manage the organizational and contractual adjustments imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic in Niger and Burkina Faso, including changes to financial and administrative systems so as to ensure continuous and adapted support to program activities.

During the quarter, the GoN’s Directorate-General for Taxation (DGI) issued to REGIS-ER a collection notice for payment of taxes within ten days, claimed on the basis of DGI’s audit in November-December, 2019. NCBA CLUSA believes that the taxes, especially the Value Added Tax (VAT), are not justified because of the bilateral agreement between the Governments of Niger and of the U.S. and/or because of the provisions of the Country Agreement (Protocole d’Accord Type, PAT) between the GoN and NCBA CLUSA. Given the short time frame for payment and the immediate threat to the continuation of the project, REGIS-ER entered into a phase of intense negotiations with the DGI. NCBA CLUSA accepted to pay a small portion (6.76%) of the total amount claimed – specifically, business taxes, such as registration fees and taxes on income from professional/business leases, and related penalties. In return, the DGI accepted to extend the deadline for payment, which allows NCBA CLUSA the opportunity to consult further with USAID on the matter of the VAT exemptions (and the related penalties), which represent 93.24% of the total amount claimed.

USAID|REGIS-ER FY2020 QR2 - page 17

Finally, the other main activity in this reporting period was the preparation of the 2019 annual reports (Calendar Year 2019) for the government ministries in charge of NGOs in Niger and Burkina Faso.

Human Resources (HR) Human Resources Management focused on: 1. Filling vacant positions caused by staff resignations and recruiting replacements; 2. On-boarding (virtually) the Strategic Learning Specialist who will be based in Burkina Faso; 3. Managing the transition between REGIS-ER’s former Country Representative in BF (who left for another USAID-funded project in NE) and the DCOP who added the Country Representative role to his existing duties and transferred to Burkina in January, 2020.

Administration, Finance, and Operations During the quarter, the administration, finance and operations team continued to fulfill its primary role of supporting project implementation in an efficient, effective manner and in full compliance with NCBA CLUSA’s (and USAID’s) policies and procedures. This work included: 1. Discussions and negotiations with the Directorate-General for Taxation on payments that it claimed from REGIS-ER as a result of the tax audit of the project which it conducted in November- December, 2019; 2. Contracting with service providers, suppliers and contractors selected for Positive Youth Development activities in Burkina Faso and Niger; 3. Development and implementation of simplified procedures for procurement in the emergency situation created by the Coronavirus; and 4. Creating the material conditions for teleworking for the project staff.

Grants Management

In FY20, the grants management unit has focused on implementing the grants strategy regarding local institutions and youth. (The latter targets both individuals and groups.) It is a major step in implementing the project’s sustainability strategy because the procurement process is being entirely managed by local institutions with project support (ensuring compliance with national procurement requirements and REGIS-ER procedures). The grant priorities are habbanayé, borehole rehabilitation, and income- USAID|REGIS-ER FY2020 QR2 - page 18

generating activities for youth. During the quarter, all borehole rehabilitation and Habbanayé contracts were signed in Niger and those for Burkina are being finalized. Training for young entrepreneurs on business plan development is on-going in Niger and the youth are now finalizing their business plans. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictive measures adopted by the GoN, youth training and coaching strategies were revised in early March, 2020 to replace face-to-face meetings and coaching with multiple trainings through WhatsApp groups and individual discussions. As far as the REGIS-ER implementing partners are concerned, contracts with EAA, Sheladia and Mwangaza Action are still active.

Cost Share

NCBA CLUSA has already reached the overall target, so there is no target for FY19 or FY20. NCBA CLUSA was awarded a $6,606,509 Cost Extension under the REGIS-ER agreement through December, 2020, which brought the total program budget to a maximum of $76,645,520 and the cost share obligation to $7,810,178.49.

The total cost share collected has remained the same since the end of FY19 ($10,416,858.87), an amount which already greatly exceeded the requirement ($7,810,178.49). This achievement does not exclude the capturing and materializing of future cost share contributions, related to the grant activities and program.

Annex 3: Success Story: The commune of Seytenga, champion in conflict management in Sahel Region

As part of its sustainability strategy, REGIS-ER put a particular emphasis on access to land for vulnerable groups, conflict prevention and management, and social cohesion. In order to ensure ownership of the process by local actors and sustainability of the gains achieved, REGIS-ER promotes a strategy of securing land tenure that is led by the communes and communities. This strategy led to the establishment of 438 land commissions and a reduction of over 73% in cases of land disputes. The commune of Seytenga in the Sahel Region of Burkina Faso was recently crowned champion in land-related conflict management. In this commune, the state land management agent who benefited from a capacity building from REGIS-ER delineated more than 12 hectares and led the signature process of 15 of land transfer minutes, as transitional acts. These documents were issued, thanks to the advocacy actions carried out by the Village Development Councils

(CVD) with landowners. Mr. Tamboura Amadou, Mayor of Seytenga The primary role played by REGIS-ER is illustrated (at right), and the REGIS-ER team by the testimony of the President of the Regional Court of Dori (which issues definitive land deeds) during the national workshop to share the results of REGIS-ER’s support for securing land tenure in its zone of intervention, held on July 25, 2019: “this intervention, on which we have been fully involved, has greatly reduced the land tenure burden in Seytenga commune, which now has a fully functional rural land service. From now on, when a case of land dispute in this commune is brought to our attention, the plaintiffs are referred to the land conciliation bodies of their village and the government land agent of Seytenga. This usually helps resolve the conflict”. According to the President of the Regional Court of Dori, the existence of Village Land Commissions (CFV) and Village Land Conciliation Commissions (CCFV), which were set up and operationalized with REGIS-ER’s support, enables the court to have the minutes of meetings in which the parties do not reach an agreement if the judge has to rule on a case which could not be settled by the local authorities. Before REGIS-ER's intervention, the absence of the minutes of these meetings of non-reconciliation in cases on which the judge needed to rule made their work difficult. Fatimata Ouédraogo, one of the few women who works as a government land agent, appreciates the Mobile Application for Land Security (MAST) tool that REGIS-ER made available to them: “MAST makes it possible to delimit lands and Demarcation of a plot of land in collect related information, on site and quickly. It Seytenga Commune, Burkina Faso has greatly improved my working conditions because I save time. In 10 days, I was able to delimit 50 plots, without the help of anyone, and easily save a digital file of all the data processed. I feel more efficient in my work and respond better to requests for field registration. It’s motivating for me and encouraging for those who request my services." USAID|REGIS-ER FY2020 QR2 - page 66

According to Mr. Sawadogo Issa, a producer in the village of Wouro Loumo, "A few years ago, it was impossible to imagine that a farmer could have a land title for his farm. Today, it's a done deal! With the help of the government land agent, the potential conflict that might have arisen from the refusal of my neighbors to recognize the boundaries of my farm has been resolved peacefully. We were able to delimit my farm and I now have a title for the land that I have been cultivating for forty years." Mr. Sawadogo added that conflicts have decreased significantly since the intervention of REGIS-ER and they no longer need to go to Dori to settle certain disputes. As for Mr. Tamboura Amadou, Mayor of the Commune of Seytenga, he affirms that the support of REGIS-ER was crucial in the distinction of his commune as champion in conflict management; "REGIS-ER supported us not only in the choice of 27 villages and the establishment of committees, but also in the planning and awareness raising of villagers on the land tenure issue". The entities set up with the support of REGIS-ER have played an important role in raising awareness among landowners. He noted with Sawadogo Issa, producer in Wouro Loumo village – Seytenga Commune satisfaction that the involvement of Local Resource Persons (PRLs) was a determining factor in the success of the commune. "Between 2017 and 2018, before the establishment of these entities, we recorded around 15 conflicts per year, but since 2019 we have not recorded any cases of conflict within the commune." According to Mr. Tamboura, the creation of the Citizen Working Group with the support of REGIS-ER and the fact that it is housed on the premises of the Mayor’s Office constitutes a great asset for the sustainability of the achievements within the commune.
