Head of Operations

Context

Niger is deeply affected by protracted conflicts at its borders: lake Chad and the Three borders area in the west. Combined with a high level of food and economic insecurity, climate and environmental changes and the weakness of the state, population do not find the resources to cope with a continuing deterioration of their situation.
Beyond emergency responses, the ICRC in Niger is committed to improve in the long term the livelihood of vulnerable household victims of the conflict and reinforce their resilience to climate and environmental shocks. This general objective unfolds in two programmes.

The Ecoresilience programme aims at reinforcing the resilience of a community working on its socio-economic level and its environment, with the core idea that for a community to be resilient, it has to live in a resilient natural environment. Activities encompassed within this programme are the following: soil restoration, agroforestry, water, hydraulic/irrigation infrastructures, prevention against soil erosion and inundations, fight against invasive plants, pests and locusts, use of climate-resistant seeds, capacity building of land users and relevant actors, market-based programming (production and transformation).
The Transhumance programme aims at promoting a resilient and safer transhumance practice by mobile population and herds within a context of growing conflict and violence between nomad and sedentary communities. Activities encompassed within this programme are the following: improvement of animal health surveillance systems, reinforcement of local capacity to inform, sensitize and carry out training on the legal framework and on early warning systems, improvement of fodder crop cultivation, water supply, reducing overgrazing, fight against invasive plants, securing and defining grazing areas and transhumance corridors, micro-economic initiatives and value chains for livestock production and linked sub-products.
Both programmes will include strong development of capacity building, partnerships, training and research and Community-Based Protection approaches. These two programmes are part of the Water & Habitat, Economic Security units and Protection.
