The complex scenario of the country is triggered by instability in the neighbouring Burkina Faso, Libya, Chad, Nigeria (including Boko Haram activities) and Mali, which has caused forced displacements towards Niger.
UNHCR work in Niger focuses on using community-based, and NEXUS approaches to providing holistic assistance and comprehensive protection and solutions for forcibly displaced people, with particular attention on women, children and other persons with specific needs.
The situation in Niger remains fluid after the 26 July 2023 military coup. UNHCR continues to closely monitor the forcibly displaced people in the country in coordination with partners, and its operations continue without interruption. The office has reviewed its business continuity plan to ensure the delivery of essential services should the situation deteriorate.
