Our Niger office

LuxDev began its activities in Niger in 1989 as part of the technical implementation of bilateral Indicative Cooperation Programmes (ICP). Until the advent of the coup d'état on 26 August 2023, which led to the suspension of all Luxembourg bilateral support, the Niger office supervised a portfolio of five programmes worth EUR 102 million financed by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as part of the bilateral envelope of ICP IV 2022-2026. 

LuxDev's sectors of intervention and fields of activity in Niger were: water and sanitation, education and training, professional integration and employment, public finance, inclusive finance and food security. In terms of geographical coverage, the programmes operated nationwide, with a regional focus on Dosso, Zinder and Niamey, and aimed to achieve full alignment with national strategies and policies, as well as delegating the implementation of planned actions to national partners through the programme approach and the supply of multi-donor financial mechanisms managed by the national side.

After more than a year's suspension of the programmes, a process of closure has now begun.
