Following the change of power in July 2023, the project's funders, the European Union and AFD, have decided to suspend financial support to Niger for this project.
At the request of the Consortium, the situation could be reassessed by the funding agencies.
From 2018 to 2022, the project was implemented in the Diffa region, more specifically in the communes of Chétimari, Diffa, Mainé Soroa and N'Guigmi. A total of 18 villages benefited from the project's holistic approach.
Implemented by the country offices of Action against Hunger Niger and CARE Niger, in partnership with the Niger NGO Karkara, the project has reached more than 40,000 people. The approach has been hailed by the communities as relevant, as it listens to and responds to their needs. The project has also received a great deal of support from representatives of the local authorities (administrative and traditional).
