UNICEF works in 190 countries and territories to protect the rights of every child. UNICEF has spent 70 years working to improve the lives of children and their families. Defending children's rights throughout their lives requires a global presence, aiming to produce results and understand their effects. UNICEF believes all children have a right to survive, thrive and fulfill their potential – to the benefit of a better world. For every Child,an advocate
A complex humanitarian crisis with natural disasters, disease outbreaks, malnutrition and displacement resulting from Boko Haram's violence threatens children's basic rights in the region.
Niger is a landlocked Sahelian country of 20.7 million people, most of whom live in rural areas (84%). The population is young, with 52% of Nigeriens being under 15, and nearly half of the population is poor (45.1%), despite reductions in the poverty rate over the past decade. The country, which ranked last on the 2015 Human Development Index, sees its development constrained by several factors: climatic conditions that hinder rural development, vulnerability due to the absence of economic diversification, high population growth, gender equality issues, low levels of literacy and education, and the size and landlocked nature of the country, which obstruct the provision of essential goods and services to the population.
