Children’s rights at the heart of programmes in Niger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Niger is a victim of its landlocked situation, limited and rapidly degrading natural resources, recurring droughts and floods, uncontrolled population growth… These factors largely explain the country’s extreme poverty and repeated food crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PACOPE programmes set up in West Africa are based on an approach that gives families a sense of responsibility, avoiding dependence on SOS support to cover the needs of their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By helping parents\/guardians to develop their own income-generating activities and by offering them advice and moral support throughout the intervention, the programme increases their awareness, decision-making power and financial capacity. Parents\/guardians are given the opportunity to cover their children’s basic needs (e.g. paying school fees, health, food, etc.) and to respect their rights to survival, development, protection and participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tahoua region is located on the border with Mali. Children face many vulnerabilities, including early work, dropping out of school, malnutrition and early marriage, in a context of persistent poverty and limited access to basic social services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community structures made up of children and adults promote collective awareness of child protection and well-being and mobilise resources to help vulnerable children and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
