The most under-reported humanitarian crises in 2021 - Niger
If you don’t read about it in the news, did it really happen? Every year, humanitarian crises affect millions of people around the world. From natural disasters to conflict and displacement, some crises make headlines, some simply don’t.
For this event series, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation teamed up with the aid organization CARE. CARE’s annual report “Suffering in Silence” highlights the ten most underreported crises of the past year. Together we shine a spotlight on each crisis, giving room for discussion and hearing from experts about challenges, opportunities, and the resilience of affected communities in each country.
Niger is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world. Located in the Sahel, the country sees persistent droughts and recurring floods. Both lead to food insecurity, malnutrition and displacement. Building resilience to these crises is vital as 2.9 million people are already in need of humanitarian assistance.
CARE was founded in 1945 to support post-war Europe with the famous CARE packages. Today, the independent aid organization works in over 100 countries to provide humanitarian aid and fight poverty with a focus on empowering women and girls.
