Niger: our work from January to December 2022
Present in Niger since 1990, the ICRC protects and assists people affected by the consequences of armed conflict or other situations of violence, particularly in Liptako-Gourma and the Lake Chad Basin. In collaboration with the Niger Red Cross, we provide assistance by responding to the needs expressed by the populations concerned, with the aim of strengthening their resilience.
In all the areas where we operate, we provide emergency relief, treat the injured, facilitate access to drinking water and support livestock breeders and farmers.
Here's an overview of our actions in Niger in 2022.

belonging to 87,309 households were vaccinated, with 1,612,980 of them also receiving anti-parasite treatment.
