Niger is facing large-scale internal migration of populations affected by drought and armed conflict. ADL is helping to integrate refugees, particularly women and people living with disabilities, by raising awareness on the impacts of climate change and promoting responsible management of natural resources. Information sessions, vegetable gardening and reforestation projects – 8,500 tree seedlings planted – help indigenous and displaced people to better understand each other’s challenges. Eco-clubs train young climate ambassadors in schools who then mobilise more pupils. Local committees, made up of at least 65 % women, have adopted a policy to combat gender-based and sexual violence, while implementing participatory governance.
