description |
Niger is a large landlocked country
whose northern two-thirds lies within the Sahara Desert with
a population of about 21.5 million people. Most of the
population is concentrated in areas around the Niger River
in the southwestern corner of the country and along its long
southern border with Nigeria. Niger’s economic activity is
concentrated on traditional activities, primarily
agriculture, livestock, forestry, and fishery but also
informal trade and production. The country has experienced
declining average rainfall, desertification, recurring
droughts, and deforestation. Undernourishment is widespread.
Agricultural risks, primarily droughts in Niger, have severe
economic consequences with wide repercussions. Farmer-led
irrigation (FLI) in the Niger context could be defined as
irrigation privately owned and managed by farmers. The
purpose of this study is to analyze the extent and the
environment of FLI development in Niger, the challenges and
constraints, and the business opportunities to be piloted. |
