Niger - Project 2 of the Food and Nutrition Insecurity Resilience Programme in the Sahel (P2-P2RS)

The Project 2 of the Food and Nutrition Insecurity resilience Program in The Sahel (P2-P2RS) is part of the Bank's long-term commitment to build the resilience of Sahel populations under the P2RS Programme. The project will target the most vulnerable households, in particular small producers, herders, fishermen and agro-pastoralists, taking into account specificities relating to gender, age and vulnerabilities (displaced persons). By adopting a territorial approach through municipalities, and paying attention to cross-border areas, the project seeks to provide responses to vectors of social fragility (poverty, farmer/herder conflicts, youth and women unemployment, child malnutrition, forced displacement, etc.). Also, the project will contribute to strengthening regional integration by targeting cross-border areas and enabling CILSS countries to jointly address some regional security issues. The project has four main components, namely: (1) strengthening climate change resilience of agricultural, silvicultural, pastoral and fisheries production; (2) development of agricultural, silvicultural, pastoral and fisheries value chains; (3) support to regional institutions (CILSS, PAAGGW, CCRS) to build adaptive capacities in the Sahel and (4) programme coordination and management.
