Family farms : FCFA 5 billion from Switzerland to Niger
Under the terms of a recently signed agreement, Switzerland is making 7 million Swiss francs (approximately CFAF 4.987 billion) available to Niger for the implementation of the Family Farm Security Support Programme (Pasefa).
The four-year programme (2022-2026) aims to ensure food and nutritional security. It will focus on conflict management and prevention by ensuring peaceful coexistence between farmers and herders. This programme will be deployed mainly in the regions of Dosso and Maradi.
