Case Study: Project to Strengthen Resilience of Rural Communities to Food and Nutrition Insecurity in Niger
This case study highlights the key achievements and impacts of PRECIS, which reaches almost 1.5 million rural people in Niger.
Today we stand at a critical juncture – historic progress in reducing hunger has stalled and the successes of recent decades are being reversed.
At the same time, poverty remains stubbornly entrenched in some areas, and inequality is rising. This cannot be allowed to continue.
While the number of people living in extreme poverty fell from nearly 2 billion in 1990 to 736 million in 2015, and hunger has declined for decades, the poorest and most marginalized people continue to be left behind. More than 820 million people go hungry every day, and the wealth gap is widening.
