In Niger, the ICRC provided assistance to people affected by the conflict in the south-east of the country, as well as to those fleeing the fighting in northeast Nigeria. Working with the Niger Red Cross, we delivered relief supplies, treated the wounded, ensured water supplies, and supported farmers. The ICRC also monitored compliance with international humanitarian law (IHL), ensured the protection of detainees, and helped them maintain contact with their families.
Present in Niger since 1990, the ICRC helped people affected by the consequences of armed conflict and other situations of violence, particularly in the Liptako-Gourma and Lake Chad Basin areas. In collaboration with the Red Cross Society of Niger, we provided assistance by responding to the needs expressed by affected people, with the aim of strengthening their resilience.

In the regional delegation, cooperation work is based above all on providing support to the National Society to develop its capacities. Cooperation is an active part of the humanitarian response before, during and after emergencies or conflicts. Among our most important activities are responding to migration in the region, training first aid teams that work in dangerous areas and delicate situations and strengthening accountability, transparency and financial sustainability mechanisms.
