Niger
The Belgian Development Cooperation has been active in Niger for more than 50 years. We aim to improve the living conditions of the population in Niger through partnerships with the country’s public institutions.
Health
Good health is a basic condition for economic participation and contribution to the country’s development. We support Niger in facing the challenge of delivering accessible quality health care to its entire population.
We do so by supporting all chains of the health system. On one hand, we assist the Ministry of Public Health in defining and ensuring the implementation of its health policies and in coordinating the health sector.
On the other hand we test, in the pilot health districts of Gotheye and Gaya, the implementation of fundamental reforms in the sector such as the performance-based financing of the healthcare centres, the quality assurance of their services and the digitalisation of the management of healthcare services.
Stock breeding and food security
Stock breeding is a dynamic sector in Niger’s economy which generates growth. We support this sector in view of improving food security and boosting the incomes of the breeders who depend on it.
Making the stock breeding sector more resilient, better performing and sustainable is a challenge that we address with our actions targeting stock breeding products, added value creation and marketing and with our interventions to better manage and protect the natural resources that are essential for stock breeding.
In order to advance the development of stock breeding on the long run, these actions are accompanied by capacity development of the different actors involved in stock breeding (public and private operators as well as civil society) so they can fully take on their respective roles.

In Niger, many people live in remote and sometimes insecure areas. The road to the nearest health centre is often very long, so people do not go there easily. Enabel and its partners in Niger worked out a solution.

Quelles sont les formes d’engagement prises par les jeunes actuellement ?
Si les marches pour le climat, le mouvement #metoo et les manifestations Black Lives Matter sont des exemples récents d’engagement social où les jeunes ont pris une place prépondérante, des discours catastrophiques se font également entendre : les jeunes seraient de moins en moins intéressé·es par les questions sociales.

How about generating energy with your toilet trip?
In Mbuji-Mayi, sanitation is not what it should be: due to very rapid urbanisation, several families usually share facilities. Sewers are lacking and sanitation is limited to communal latrines. Enabel carries out a pilot project in the Congolese metropolis to generate energy from human excrement.
