In order to develop the agricultural activities of the population of the Commune of Namaro, located around 50 km from Niamey on the right bank of the River Niger, two key actions are planned: the creation of half-moons over 100 ha and the fixing of dunes over 70 ha on the LATAKABIA site in the rural commune of Namaro to restore the land. The aim will be to recover 170 ha by building half-moons or fixing dunes, which will contribute to achieving the target of 32,000 ha all 32 communes in the PRSF's intervention zone in Niger.
This municipality is the first to benefit from this support, which will consist of land restoration activities that will generate income for workers, as well as the recovery of 100 ha of glacis and the fixing of 70 ha of dune in order to restore the productive capital of this land.
In the short term, these land restoration activities are an opportunity to fight household poverty, increase household resilience, create jobs for young people and women and recover the vegetation cover through the half-moons that will be made by the beneficiaries who have undertaken carry out the work to standards for the good of the community.
This support for the people of the commune of Namaro is part of the implementation of sub-component 2.2 of the FSRP "strengthening regional food security through integrated landscape management", for which the programme's National Coordination, working with local players, is identifying sites for small-scale irrigation schemes and developing low-lying areas.
