Cooperation/ Niger and UN launch $1.84 billion partnership for sustainable development (2025-2029)
The official launch of the joint programs between the Government of Niger and the United Nations System for the 2025-2029 period marks a significant milestone in the country’s transformation. With an investment of $1.84 billion, these ambitious initiatives aim to tangibly improve the living conditions of more than 6.5 million Nigeriens.
This exemplary cooperation demonstrates that the partnership between Niamey and UN agencies is solid, strategic, and focused on the well-being of the people.
In a context marked by instability, climate challenges, and a fragile economy, Niger is choosing a path of resilience and sovereignty.
The four flagship programs launched are clear and targeted: better governance, food sovereignty, access to education, and support for youth.

These concrete actions address the country’s urgent needs while preparing for a more stable and prosperous future.
Through this partnership, Niger affirms its commitment to building sustainable and inclusive development. The cross-border approach with Burkina Faso and Mali strengthens this collective dynamic, making the Sahel a zone of action and progress.
The relationship between Niamey and the United Nations System deserves to be commended, showing that even in a difficult environment, concrete and sustainable solutions can be implemented to improve people’s lives and strengthen regional stability.
This cooperation, in service to the people, translates the vision of General Abdourahamane Tiani, President of Niger, to make the needs of the people a priority.
