State: - what development challenge the project addresses, - the Borrower's overall strategy for addressing it, - Bank activities in this country (ies) and sector over the past year and how they performed, and - ongoing Bank and other externally financed activities that complement, overlap with or relate to this project. Please cite relevant sources. Comment on the strength and coherence of the rationale. [300 words maximum. Any additional narrative about the project's origins and history, if needed, must be placed in Annex 6: Project Narrative] The development challenge of this project is the implementation of the Ten-year Basic Education Development Programme (PDDE) for 2003-2013. With the support of technical and financial partners (TFP), the PDDE aims to: (i) accelerate school enrolment and adapt supply to demand so as to reducing disparities (region, area and gender); (ii) promote non-formal education; (iii) strengthen and develop the institutional capacities of Ministries; and (iv) strengthen and develop vocational and technical training. To that end, the Government adopted a strategy with the priority to improve access and quality in formal and non-formal basic education. The Basic Education Enhancement Project is in line with the first three objectives of the PDDE. The Bank is financing four operations in the agricultural sector: Invasive Aquatic Weeds – Niger, Kandadji Programme, Water Development Project, Diffa Agro-Pastoral Development Project; one in the multi-sector (Decentralization Support Project); two in the transport sector (Tibiri-Dakoro and Madaoua-B Road Project, Dori-Téra Road Project); and one in the water sector (Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Project in three regions). In December 2010, the Bank approved a budget support and an education and vocational and technical training development project. According to the September 2010 portfolio review report, the overall performance is improving steadily and stands at 2.3. Operations by other multilateral (IDA, EDF, IDB, UNESCO) and bilateral partners in the education sector complement those of the Bank. 3 C. PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND LOGICAL FRAMEWORK 1. State the Project Development Objective(s) (as set out in the appraisal report) 1. Overall Goal: Contribute to PDDE implementation 2. Specific Objectives: - Broaden access and strengthen equity and the quality of cycles 1 and 2 of basic education; - Improve school health and intensify STI/HIV/AIDS control; - Strengthen the institutional capacities of basic education. 2. Describe the major project components and indicate how each will contribute to achieving the Project Development Objective(s). COMPONENT 1: Improvement of access and quality in Cycles 1 and 2 of Basic education This component seeks to increase the intake capacity of formal education in four project intervention regions (Tillabéry, Tahoua, Zinder and Maradi) and develop human potential by organizing training sessions for teachers, school management committee members, laboratory technicians and inspectors. COMPONENT 2: Support for girls’ education and literacy for women This component seeks to contribute to the development of non-formal education by increasing women’s adult literacy rate and promoting girls’ enrolment in schools. COMPONENT 3 : Improvement of health and STI/HIV/AIDS control in schools This component seeks to help the Government develop a school health strategy so as to adopt a school health policy; as well as to provide resources to cover the drug costs of all HIV-positive teachers in the project area. COMPONENT 4 : Project management This component provides support to the Education Projects Implementation Office (BEPE) 3.

  • A Mixed Methods Study on the Influence of a Seasonal Cash Transfer and Male Labour Migration on Child Nutrition in Tahoua, Niger
    A mixed methods study on the influence of a seasonal cash transfer and male labour migration on child nutrition in Tahoua, Niger Victoria Louise Sibson Institute for Global Health Thesis submitted for degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London 2014-2019 2 Declaration I, Victoria Sibson, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed…………………………………… Date……………………………………… 3 4 Abstract Unconditional cash transfers (UCTs) are used to prevent acute malnutrition in emergencies but evidence on their effectiveness is lacking. In Niger, NGOs implemented annual UCTs with supplementary feeding during the June–September lean season, despite feeding programme admissions sometimes rising earlier. I hypothesised that starting the UCT earlier would reduce acute malnutrition prevalence in children 6-59 months old, but also, that this would promote early return of seasonal male labour migrants (exodants), limiting the effectiveness of the modified UCT. A cluster-randomised trial involved the poorest households receiving either the standard monthly UCT (June-September) or a modified UCT (April-September); both providing a total of 130,000 FCFA/£144. Pregnant and lactating women and children 6–<24 months old in beneficiary households also received supplementary food (June-September). We collected quantitative data from a cohort of households and children in March/April and October/November 2015 and conducted a process evaluation. The modified UCT did not reduce acute malnutrition prevalence compared with the standard UCT. Among beneficiaries in both arms the prevalence of GAM remained elevated at endline (14.7, 95%CI 12.9, 16.9), despite improved food security, possibly due to increased fever/reported malaria.

  • Niger Food Security Update: February 25, 2001
    Niger Food Security Update: February 25, 2001 Summary The food security situation in the arrondissement of Ouallam is troubling, especially in the cantons of Ouallam and Tondikiwindi. According to personnel of Afrique Verte (an international NGO working in the Department of Tillabéry), GTZ/ Projet Agro-Sylvo Pastorale (PASP) II (an integrated rural development project), and the Government of Niger agriculture service, the 2000 harvest was extremely poor. Farm household cereal stocks are depleted. The pasture situation is also very poor. There have been reports of unusually large migrations of able- bodied men as well as some entire families out of Ouallam in search of work and food. Due to limited coping strategies, many of the remaining people (mostly women and children) are surviving by gathering wild leaves and breaking into ant nests in search of grains to eat. Off- season gardening, which helps to offset the poor harvest, is practiced only in limited areas every year due to lack of sufficient water. Between January 28 and February 3, a joint mission of CILSS/PREGEC, FEWS NET, and RESAL was conducted in Niamey to assess the food security situation of the arrondissements identified as food insecure by the National Early Warning System (SAP) following the 2000/01 harvest. The mission recommended the free distribution of emergency food aid (for approximately 600,000 “severely food insecure” people within the arrondissements of Tchirozerine (Department of Agadez); Maine Soroa and N'Guigmi (Department of Diffa); and Filingue and Ouallam (Department of Tillabéry). This cereal food aid totals 38,535 MT based on a food ration of 20.25 kg/month/person for a period of three months during the peak of the hungry period, June-August.

It is designed to provide decisionmakers with current infor­ mation and analysis on existing and potential nutrition emergency situations. Each situation identified is described in terms of geographical extent and the number of people involved, or at-risk, and the proximate causes insofar as they have been discerned. Use of the term "at-risk" to identify vulnerable popu­ lations is problematical since Po generally agreed upon definition exists. Yet it is necessany to identify or "target" populations in-need or "at-risk" in order to determine appropriate forms and levels of intervention.
