Summary

Niger continues to face substantial development needs, exacerbated by rapid population growth. Niger is also one of the most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change. Given the importance of rain-fed agriculture for the country’s economy, climate change is a significant driver of chronic food insecurity and conflict, notably by intensifying competition for scarce resources. These challenges, coupled with a deterioration of the security situation, further hinder Niger’s development prospects in a context of fragility.
