4 The world is on the move at an unprecedented scale, making migration this century s mega-trend. In Niger, two developments dominate migration dynamics including increased migration flows in the North of the country and the Boko Haram insurgency in the South. This has resulted in a dramatic increase from 2015 to 2016, with over 400,000 migrants observed through flow monitoring points in Arlit and Seguidine composed of both Nigeriens returning and people from West and Central Africa. According to the Government of Niger s figures over 241,000 people are displaced in the Diffa region due to the Boko Haram insurgency including 105,491 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), 14,678 returnees, and 121,391 refugees. The sheer scale and complexity of these flows highlight the inevitability of migration and the critical need for migration governance in Niger. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has responded with a three pronged approach to rapidly address the situation: the establishment of the Migrant Resource and Response Mechanism (MRRM), a robust humanitarian response in Diffa, and Immigration and Border Management (IBM) interventions. 3
5 With longstanding expertise on migration and a solid commitment to the 2030 agenda, IOM has developed the Migration Governance Framework (MiGoF) to offer a structured approach to achieve migration governance. It combines six fundamental elements that, when taken together, ensure that migration is governed in an integrated and holistic way. In Niger this translates into responding to the need to consider mobile populations that are in emergencies, building resilience, and creating opportunities for migrants and society. The MiGoF enables IOM to support requests by Member States for country assessments and mobilize its organizational expertise to strengthen migration governance. As a consolidated set of three principles and three objectives, ensuring that migration is humane, orderly and benefits both migrants and society, it is representative of IOM s vision of and commitment to migration governance. 4
6 Its framework includes a set of specific indicators laying the foundation to measure states progress against the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the UN 2030 Agenda. As such, it supports governments efforts to identify gaps and priorities when building capacity and devising migration policies and programmes in accordance with the 17 SDGs and their respective targets, primarily to achieve SDG 10.7 to facilitate orderly and safe migration through well managed migration policies. IOM Niger s Forecast Understanding of the Country Office Framework aims to address migration challenges by adapting this vision to the country. It reflects the IOM Regional Office s commitment to support migration governance and the 2030 agenda and provides a framework for the national strategy. 5
7 Niger is one of the least developed countries in the world, with one of the poorest socio-economic and development indicators (187/188 UNDP s Human Development Indicators 2016) and the highest demographic growth (average 7.6 children per woman). As a result, Niger has a very high dependency ratio with almost 70% of the 18 million population aged under 24 years (50% aged 0-14 years). The economy is largely dependent on subsistence agriculture and is vulnerable to adverse climate conditions and regional insecurity. An estimated 60% of the population live below the poverty line. In 2016, 3.5 million people are expected to be in need of food assistance. Instability in neighbouring countries (notably Mali, Libya and Nigeria), as well as internal conflict in certain regions of Niger, periodic drought and flooding, and the establishment of the Economic Community of West African State (ECOWAS) free movement area, are all factors shaping the migratory movements that affect Niger as both a country of origin, transit and destination. For more than 90% of the migrants assisted by IOM (both Nigeriens and other nationalities) the willingness to improve their living conditions and to seek better professional opportunities is the main reason why they decide to migrate. Most of them have expressed their desperation and frustration because of the lack of employment opportunities and perspectives in their communities of origin. Migrants arriving from ECOWAS countries enjoy freedom of movement and enter Niger legally. Similarly Nigerien authorities are powerless to return migrants from ECOWAS countries identified attempting to cross illegally into Libya. In the absence of possibilities for voluntary return many remain stranded in Niger with no other choice than to try to earn enough to pay for the continuation of the trip. Although Niger is considered relatively stable, population displacement, and the continued growth of migrant ghettos in hot spots along the migration routes increase pressure on already limited resources (food and land) and could pose a threat to the fragile security balance in Northern Niger. The activities of transnational criminal and terrorist organizations (AQIM, MUJAO, Al-Sharia, Boko Haram, Al- Mulathameen Brigades) also contribute to insecurity. These conditions are driving increased migration, facilitated by well-developed criminal networks and exacerbated by high levels of corruption. A right based approach to migration management cannot ignore the rise in violent extremism and radicalization of youth affecting some parts of the region, in particular the Sahel. In light of this rising insecurity, a well-managed, orderly migration system requiring practical, humane and rights-based operational solutions remains an absolute priority. Ensuring the mobility of cross-border communities raises border management challenges in the absence of effective identity management systems and limited capacities to ensure surveillance and control over the extensive and porous borders throughout the region. IOM is also committed to advocating against the increasing tendency to stigmatize migrants as potential violent extremists. 6
8 The three principles and objectives of the MiGoF lay out the necessary conditions to achieve sound migration governance and maximize its positive effects for the benefit of all. They represent the means through which a State will ensure that the systemic requirements for good migration governance are in place. Building on the Regional Strategy, IOM Niger will strengthen its engagement and collaboration with Civil Society Organizations, strive to be gender-sensitive by taking into consideration the specific needs of women, girls, boys and men in its outreach with partners and in its projects. Gender equality is a guiding principles of IOM. IOM protects migrants rights through a sensitive approach based on gender. Gender, including for trafficked persons, vulnerable returned migrants, unaccompanied minors as well as abused migrants, is taken into account during all stages of the assistance provided by IOM. IOM Niger is committed to ensuring that the particular needs of all migrant women are identified, taken into consideration and addressed by IOM services. Moreover, partners, institutional or non-governmental, are also encouraged to integrate gender into their interventions. IOM Niger will also give particular attention to youth needs in relation to the emerging demographic trends, environmental issues, vulnerability of Niger due to conflict and natural disasters, and in line with the Human Rights Based Approach, IOM Niger will promote and strengthen the protection of human rights of migrants. 7
9 a. Strengthening migration data collection and management The government of Niger s capacity to comprehensively collect and manage data is limited, including in the field of migration. Enhance the Government of Niger s capacities to track displacement in an emergency context through the implementation and progressive handover of joint Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM). Enhance data collection and analysis on migratory flows throughout Niger by increasingly strengthening the network of Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) and joint monitoring of flows and preparation of reports with the Government of Niger. 8
10 b. Strengthening national migration policy development b. Strengthening national migration policy development The government of Niger does not have a comprehensive migration strategy or policy. There is political will to address this issue, however efforts have focused on fighting crime linked to migration, such as trafficking, smuggling and irregular migration. Lobby for the development of an overall approach to migration and sectorial policies, strategies or plans and support Government of Niger in their formulation, review and adoption Provide support to the Nigerien Cadre de Concertation sur les Migrations and its sub-groups, through,inter alia, provision of expertise on migration policies, support in drafting or reviewing documents, sharing best practices, and facilitating exchange among stakeholders. 9
11 a. Providing protection and assistance to vulnerable migrants The migratory flows in Niger are composed of individuals with differing immediate needs such as unaccompanied minors, pregnant women, victims of exploitation and abuse, smuggled migrants and trafficked persons, elderly persons, families, asylum seekers and migrants with special health needs. Reinforce governmental capacities to address the specific needs of migrants with specific needs (for example the children, women, migrants with mental health needs for assistance, etc.) with the aim to develop a comprehensive framework for the protection of vulnerable migrants in Niger. Provide adapted assistance to vulnerable migrants, according to their specific needs, in adherence with international standards and in coordination with the authorities involved (Ministry of Population, the Promotion of Women and Child Protection, National Agency for the Fight against Trafficking in Persons, Regional Directorate for Civil States and Refugees, etc.). 10
12 b. Fostering effective reintegration of returning migrants Migrants in vulnerable situations are more likely to retry irregular migration after return. Migrants find themselves confronted with stereotypes and prejudices in their home communities. Governments in the countries of origins do not have the capacities to provide returnees and their communities of origin with sustainable reintegration. Support the voluntary, informed and dignified return of migrants transiting in Niger to their countries of origin and the reintegration/integration of returning Nigerien migrants. Develop individual and community based initiatives to foster integration and reintegration of migrants and potential migrants. Support the capacities of local actors in the communities of return to develop sustainable opportunities in the region of return/origin. Support reintegration of returnees in countries of origin, while taking into account the needs and concerns of the communities of return. 11
13 c. Improving data collection and monitoring on return and reintegration and more in general on the assistance provided to migrants Information on migrants is collected almost exclusively by IOM including sex and age disaggregated data. IOM data refers mainly to migrants assisted by IOM. There is a lack of data on migration statistics in the country as a whole. This prevents cohesive planning of activities related to the migration phenomenon. Enhance data collection and analysis related to profiles of migrants through development of sophisticated registration system which will be linked to IOM offices in countries of origin. Build capacity of the Government for data collection and analysis. Establish reintegration monitoring mechanisms to evaluate success of monitoring programs, through regular monitoring missions and regular surveys done at various stages of the reintegration process. Enhance data collection related to vulnerable migrants including profiling and analysis of migration data and develop tools to effectively monitor assistance and services delivered to migrants. 12
14 d. Identifying most appropriate protection measures for children on the move Among migrants crossing Niger, many are non-accompanied minors, tendency rising. Nigerien governmental bodies are not adequately equipped to conduct family tracing in countries or origin and provide adapted assistance. Establish functioning referral mechanisms and context-adapted Standard Operating Procedures with the authorities and other relevant parties involved. Reinforce governmental capacities to address the specific needs of children on the move. Reinforce a case-by-case approach for non-accompanied minors, through individual monitoring and assistance to ensure the best interest of each child is met. 13
15 C a. Integrating a health component in all emergency responses Journeys through the desert are long and dangerous, and migrants often find themselves isolated, in poor physical condition. Moreover those migrants who make it to Libya are even more vulnerable during their journey and often suffer all sorts of abuses ranging from physical, sexual to psychological ill-treatment. Many migrants are in need of protection and health assistance, and the authorities - especially at the local level - are unequipped to address this urgent situation. Health services are not available in all areas of displacement hence some services are not accessible to displaced populations. Establish functioning referral mechanisms with national, regional and local care structures, and reinforce their capacities. Reinforce the referral mechanism for health cases encountered during profiling to existing national/regional and humanitarian health structures with follow-up through health actors in the region. Advocate where possible for mobile clinics through the health cluster in areas with no health services. Provide rapid and adequate assistance and health care to migrants with health needs before their return to their countries of origin. Reinforce the equipment and services available in the transit centers and on the road. 14
16 a. Enhancing coherent, coordinated and rights based approaches to border management The current approach to border management is neither comprehensive nor coherent. There is no dedicated border police body with specific Terms of References and be trained accordingly. The different law enforcement agencies are working separately with limited or no coordination, and there is no national strategy/policy on border management. The Government is aware of this situation and, in light of Niger s long and porous borders, is determined to enhance border management at all levels including through comprehensive planning and development of strategies. They however lack capacities to do so without support. Promote Directorate of Territorial Surveillance as a strong immigration and border management police agency, including visibility, Human Resources reform, equipment and infrastructural donation (Headquarter and border posts). Jointly with the Government, develop a Humanitarian Border Management strategy for better preparedness towards cross-border crisis, based on their particularisms (Libya, Mali, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso); through regionally level contingency response plans in 8 Niger regions, mass migration crisis simulations exercises to apply those. Together with the relevant law enforcement agencies, work on the concept of integrated border management in order to better coordinate, facilitate regular migration and mitigate transnational crime with the ultimate aim to develop a comprehensive national strategy for integrated border management. Support the creation of an Office of ID Management in Niger, to be in charge for traveler documents, visa issuance, passport/id, and strengthen ID Management (see below). This would be done through comprehensive trainings, equipment, study visit, etc. 15
17 b. Strengthening the skills and knowledge of border officials Further regional coordination and understanding on border management and increase knowledge for border police officials through regional training institutions such as of the College Sahélien de Sécurité the peace building school of Bamako, and a regional border police academy for Sahel. c. Fostering regional mobility through improved identity management solutions As of 2017, less than 7% of the Nigerien population has an ID document, while few more have a breeder document. At the same time, the ECOWAS ID card has not been rolled out yet, while visa issuance is hampered by scarce presence of Nigerien embassies/consulate around the world. Develop an efficient system for issuance and registration of breeder documents in the capital and in the regions to ensure an enhanced data management and protection of the Nigerien population, via registration campaigns, assessments and strategy on birth registration. Jointly with the consular services, lobby for e-visa initiation together, including installations at the airport, development of a standardized visa vignette, online platform and trainings. Support the creation of an Office for ID Management of Niger, following a National Police reform, through the construction of an ID management Headquarter including a computerized database, a Migration Information and Data Analysis Center (MIDAS) training center, etc. 16
18 a. Addressing root causes of crises and building resilience at community level The humanitarian crisis in the Diffa region continues to unfold with 340,000 people in need in Two thirds of Diffa population are composed of IDPs, returnees and refugees. 1 person out of 3 is in need of humanitarian assistance. IOM is supporting the Ministry of Humanitarian Action and Disaster Manager in assisting the families in need and coordinating humanitarian actors under the Shelter/Non Food Item (NFI) working group. As the security situation is slowly improving there is need for developing a durable solution framework to facilitate the return of IDP, refugees and returnees to their villages of origin. Advocate and take relevant actions to provide transition and recovery assistance to families affected by the Boko Haram crisis who expressed the intention of returning to their areas of origin. Invest on Disaster Risk Reduction and build resilience of communities to the impact of climate change. Support to strengthen Government of Niger policies, procedures and tool to manage the displacement cycle. Scale up humanitarian Shelter/NFI assistance to vulnerable population regardless their legal status (IDPs / refugees / returnees / hosting communities) while promoting durable solutions. Build capacity and provide support to the Ministry of Humanitarian Action and Disaster Management as co-lead of the Shelter/NFI working group and as the largest provider of Shelter/NFI assistance in Diffa. 17
19 b. Strengthening national and regional capacities to collect reliable data on population movements The Government of Niger s capacity to comprehensively collect and manage data on displaced persons is limited. Support the Regional Directorate for Civil States and Refugees in improving their system of data collection, data analysis and data sharing/presentation of analysis through incorporating IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) methodologies with the intention of transferring competencies to the Directorate. 18
20 c. Increasing national preparedness and response capacities for management of displaced populations There are existing local, regional and central crisis operational centers to address massive displacement. Meanwhile, there are considerable gaps in terms of training, preparedness, anticipation and coordination among authorities. A recent simulation exercise was concluded that produced a concerning amount of imitation casualties. Support the Governorates in terms of equipment to respond to displaced populations, including communications means, shelters, buses, etc. Initiate a G5 regional working group to discuss cross border crisis leading to mass migration movements in order to theoretically test response and preparedness, as well as coordinating potential cross border crisis. Reinforce the Civil Protection Direction and the Ministry of Humanitarian Action and Disaster Management on preparations for the management of movement of populations resulting from a crisis (natural or manmade) at the commune level. Reinforce the Civil Protection Direction and the Ministry of Humanitarian Action and Disaster Management on post crisis multi-sectorial assessments and Rapid Response Mechanism at the commune level or lower. Adapt a national contingency plan to each region, with simulation exercises to practice and train local authorities, based on realistic scenarios. 19
21 Young Nigeriens do not have access to quality education, micro-credit support and nor easy access to the job market. Several governmental structures dedicated to stimulate job opportunities are in place, however, they do not have funds to achieve their goals. Strengthen technical skills and support the local enterprises. Provide quality education and strength capacities of teachers in local communities. Support an inclusive economic growth by increasing job opportunities of young Nigeriens. SDG 4.4: By 2030, substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship. SDG 8.3: Promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage formalization and growth of micro-, small- and mediumsized enterprises including through access to financial services. 20
