Norwegian Refugee Council - Niger

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) set up operations in Niger in 2019 to serve those affected by the crisis.

In Niger, one of the world’s poorest countries, in the Sahel, a rise in cross-border attacks targeting armed forces and community leaders has led to a deterioration of the security situation and forced displacement. In addition to the 376,809 internally displaced people, conflict in neighbouring countries has driven a quarter million refugees to seek safety in Niger resulting in significant humanitarian needs that the state has found difficult to address.
