    Niger: Humanitarian Needs Overview and Response Plan 2024 2024
    Also available in:
    In 2023, access to food emerged as the most pressing need for people in the Niger, where the impact of climate change and armed conflict continue to drive acute food insecurity. Around 80 percent of the population live in rural areas, relying on agriculture for their livelihoods. Investing in this sector is cost effective and not only addresses immediate food needs but also ensures long-term resilience. A USD-124 market gardening kit yields up to ten times its value in vegetables, helping families to quickly produce their own food and generate income.

    The Niger has been facing multiple recurrent and persistent shocks (e.g. drought, insecurity, massive population displacement, etc.), significantly affecting agricultural and pastoral production, and increasing the levels of food insecurity and malnutrition. Following the first reported COVID-19 case in the country (20 March 2020), the Government put in place a series of urgent and essential health-related restrictive measures, the effects of which are still being felt even though the majority have recently been lifted. Disruptions to markets, food chain supply and trade could limit people’s access to sufficient and diverse sources of food, especially in areas hard hit by the virus or already affected by high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition. In the framework of FAO’s Corporate COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme and the United Nations Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19, FAO has revised its humanitarian response for 2020 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and address the needs of the most vulnerable households.
