Niger’s government has suspended the activities of hundreds of humanitarian and development organisations, both local and international, due to their failure to publish mandatory annual financial disclosures.
The Ministry of Interior stated that only 140 organisations that released their financial data in the official gazette are exempt, while the remaining groups have 60 days to regularise their status.
The decision comes in a country where more than 300 international organisations and 3,000 local associations are currently operating.
Humanitarian groups have warned that the suspension will worsen operational challenges, particularly given the difficult security conditions that already hinder the delivery of aid to remote areas.
