UN Women’s Niger Strategic Note 2023–2027 addresses gender inequalities and empowers women and girls by tackling challenges related to climate change, humanitarian crises and underdevelopment. Key locations include rural areas and regions affected by conflict, particularly Diffa, Maradi and Zinder.
The programme prioritizes women's economic empowerment and resilience to climate change. Approaches encompass gender-responsive planning and budgeting and strengthening women's leadership in governance and peacebuilding, towards providing comprehensive support to women and girls.
Major partners include UN entities, local governments and civil society organizations. Key partners such as the Ministry of Women's Promotion and Child Protection enhance effectiveness. Strategic Note direct funding supports initiatives such as the Women Count programme, which has proven crucial in generating more gender-disaggregated data and improving gender-responsive policies.
