Project overview
Niger is ranked as the world's least developed country and is disadvantaged even compared to other Sub-Saharan countries. Forty percent of children under five years old are underweight and a quarter die before they reach the age of five. The climate is becoming increasingly arid and the environment is becoming increasingly degraded. Pressure on finding wood for fuel is leading to deforestation of the natural forest with further negative impacts on the environment.
