  • The Niger National Institute of Agricultural Research (INRAN) is the country’s main agricultural research and development (R&D) agency, accounting for roughly three-quarters of national agricultural R&D staff and two-thirds of R&D spending in 2008. (no website)
  • Most of Niger’s agricultural research programs are donor funded. National government funding covers just salary costs, and very limited operating costs.
  • Agricultural R&D investment levels are expected to improve over the next few years: the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) is implementing several large projects and the World Bank loan-funded West Africa Agricultural Productivity Program (WAAPP) is due to launch its Niger component in 2011.

Niger is active in the CILSS, Comité permanent Inter-Etats de Lutte contre la Sécheresse dans le Sahel (Permanent Interstate Committee for the Fight against Drought in the Sahel),  ww.cilss.bf
