Niger

2.3 million people suffer from food insecurity

350.000 people displaced

457.000 children between 6 and 59 months suffer from malnutrition

25.461 people helped

During 2022, Niger suffered from a security crisis, ever-increasing population movements, a protection crisis, reduced access to basic services, as well as food and nutrition insecurity.

350,000 people were displaced due to the presence of non-state armed groups, violence against civilians and an increasing number of military operations. Niger also provided refuge for 251,000 people fleeing armed groups in neighboring countries. 890 schools were closed as a result of insecurity in the country, affecting 72,000 children. Ongoing hostilities and lack of infrastructure also had a negative impact on food supplies and access to markets in several areas. In 2022, 2.3 million people were suffering from food insecurity and around 457,000 children between 6 months and 5 years old were malnourished.

SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL consolidated its presence in the Tillaberi region, gradually expanding its activities into difficult-to-access areas where there is low coverage of humanitarian needs. Our NGO once again demonstrated its “front line” stance by opening a second operational base in the region in August 2022 (in Banibangou, close to the border with Mali). This posture has enabled our organization to become a major actor in the area.

Using HAACT (Humanitarian Analysis for Access in Challenging Contexts), our teams compiled humanitarian information on difficult-to-access zones, enabling us to deliver humanitarian assistance to isolated areas.
