Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis 2019 (Niger)

Abstract

Niger like the other countries of the Sahel (Mali, Burkina Faso) is faced with agro-pastoral crises mainly due to consecutive droughts and high climate variability. These crises have resulted in the reduction of the livelihoods of populations based on agriculture and livestock, thus worsening food insecurity and malnutrition within households. They are exacerbated by the insecurity that prevails in cross-border municipalities. The following key messages and recommendations are taken from a baseline study that was carried out in the regions of Tillabéri and Tahoua in mid-2019 as part of the partnership between FAO and the European Union (EU), through the Network. global campaign against food crises.
