In Niger, when the government declared a state of emergency to combat the virus throughout the country, restrictive measures were taken to limit and prevent the spread of the pandemic. The government set up an inter-ministerial committee to fight COVID-19, drawing up the National Response Plan which served as a model for the development of all regional, departmental, and communal plans. In this context, the USAID TerresEauVie Activity, under USAID’s Resilience in the Sahel Enhanced (RISE II) project and implemented by Winrock International, supported 25 communes in the development and implementation of COVID-19 contingency plans. The commune of Chadakori in the Maradi region is an example of developing successful plans and ensuring local ownership.
