Niger

The humanitarian context of Niger is characterized by multiple and protracted crises. The current security situation remains volatile, especially in border areas with Burkina Faso, Mali and Nigeria, marked by an upsurge of attacks by non-State armed groups which has caused population displacements and refugee crises. The country also experiences cyclical natural disasters, including floods and droughts, as well as recurrent epidemics in the COVID-19 context.

The Health Cluster supports the Government of Niger in strengthening its capacity to prepare for, prevent and respond to health emergencies at the national and sub-national level and in ensuring the continuity of essential health services as well as post-crisis recovery.
