| dc.description | For over a decade, the Niger has experienced a food security crisis with agricultural and pastoral production deficits. In 2021, the 2 million tonne cereal deficit meant that 39 percent of the population’s needs and 46 percent of animals’ needs were not covered. The war in Ukraine is triggering atypical price increases, including of fertilizers and wheat products. Civil insecurity also persists in border areas of the country (Liptako-Gourma, Maradi and Diffa regions). As a result, the number of departments in Phase 3 (Crisis) in the Niger has doubled between 2020/21 and 2021/22. In addition, for the first time, there are two departments in Phase 4 (Emergency) in Tillabéri. With 80 percent of the country’s population living in rural areas, FAO urgently requires funding to provide vulnerable households with rainfed agricultural support to restore their staple food production and income-generating activities, in order to quickly improve their food security. | |
