Niger

People in Niger are facing complex needs due to violence and forced displacement, compounded by economic challenges and the impact of climate change, food insecurity and malnutrition. Conflict-related protection risks remain particularly high in Tillabéri, Tahoua, and Diffa provinces, affected by the crises in the Central Sahel and Lake Chad Basin, and have increasingly deteriorated in Maradi. Project 21 covers communities in these provinces since 2021.
