Evidence snapshot for Niger
The evidence covers four distinct interventions in Niger but does not paint a comprehensive picture of the country. Mobile money cash transfers during the 2010 drought reduced travel distance for aid collection and modestly improved diet diversity, though at slightly higher cost per recipient. A girls' empowerment programme from 2016–2020 successfully raised girls' knowledge of legal marriage ages (from 15.0% to 29.6%) and income-earning rates (from 23.8% to 67.1%), but did not significantly reduce child marriage rates despite Niger having one of the world's highest rates (~76% of women aged 20–24 married before 18). On economic development, CIPMEN has incubated 222 companies and trained over 7,901 people, and a coding camp trained 108 young women in tech skills with over 25,000 cumulative trainees across six editions.
