Northern Regions Investment and Rural Development Programme
The programme’s goal is to reduce rural poverty by restoring social
links and creating conditions that will support economic activity
in an area hard-hit by drought and conflict. Promoting policy dialogue
is an important feature of the programme.
Activities will involve 14 communes along the Niger River and five
pastoral communes. They will target small farmers, nomadic livestock
breeders, rural women, young people and marginalized social groups.
The programme’s objectives are to:
- build the capacities of local organizations and institutions
to express their collective needs and to realize and manage investments
- develop the agropastoral potential of the area on a sustainable
basis
- improve access to basic services
- contribute to the development of national policies on combating
rural poverty
