NIGER: SECURITY PARTNERSHIPS AND DEVELOPMENT FUNDING DRIVE COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES

   Tue, 06 June 2023

While the rest of the Sahel region experiences a dramatic increase in militancy-related violence and political instability, since the start of 2023 Niger has expended increased efforts to secure its borders and improve security cooperation with key regional and international partners. This approach has not only contained the expansion of militants into the country, but in recent months has seen a marked increase in commitments from Niger’s development partners and foreign commercial firms. This will sustain a positive economic outlook in the coming months, improving Niger’s fiscal position and broadening investment potential.
