The report contributes to our understanding of the progress made in combating poverty in three ways. First, it updates our knowledge of poverty outcomes by examining the trends in poverty and vulnerability, as well as the profile and distribution of the poor and vulnerable across the country. Second it looks at the most common shocks, and their scale and influence on the welfare of the population. Third, it highlights the progress the country has made in improving opportunities for acquiring human capital and increasing incomes in rural areas. In this respect the report examines changes in access to education and health and improvements in productivity and income in small holder agriculture. It also explores the potential impact of public investments in agriculture. The report finds that, the biggest achievement in the last decade has been the substantive improvement in opportunities to acquire human capital.Le revenu par tête n'a pas évolué depuis près d'une décennie au Niger. Pris sur les 30 dernières années, le revenu par tête a en réalité décliné de sorte qu'en 2009, il était environ 30 % inférieur au niveau de 1980 (Figure 1). Ceci a de profondes répercussions sur le bien-être de la population. Ce rapport apporte un éclairage sur l'évolution de la pauvreté et la répartition des pauvres dans ce contexte élargi, en accordant une attention particulière à ces toutes dernières années. Il contribue à mieux nous faire cerner les progrès accomplis dans la lutte contre la pauvreté, et ce, à trois égards. En premier lieu, il met à jour nos connaissances en matière de résultats obtenus sur le front de la pauvreté en décrivant l'évolution de la pauvreté et de la vulnérabilité, ainsi que le profil et la répartition des couches pauvres et vulnérables de la population dans le pays. Ensuite il se penche sur les crises les plus courantes, leur ampleur et leurs répercussions sur le bien-être de la population. Troisièmement, il fait état des progrès accomplis par le pays pour améliorer ses chances de se constituer un capital humain et d'accroître les revenus en milieu rural. A cet égard, le rapport se penche sur les évolutions en matière d'accès à l'éducation et à la santé ainsi que sur les améliorations de la productivité et des revenus des petits exploitants agricoles. Il examine également l'impact potentiel des investissements publics dans le secteur de l'agriculture. A partir de ses conclusions, il formule de modestes recommandations sur la façon de consolider les acquis obtenus en matière de bien-être.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO HOUSEHOLDAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONAGRICULTURAL GROWTHAGRICULTURAL INCOMESAGRICULTURAL INPUTSAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTURAL SEASONAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGIESANNUAL GROWTHANNUAL GROWTH RATEAVERAGE INCOMEBASIC EDUCATIONBENEFICIARIESCALORIC INTAKECASH TRANSFERSCHANGES IN POVERTYCHILD NUTRITIONCHRONIC FOOD INSECURITYCHRONIC POVERTYCONSUMPTION AGGREGATECONSUMPTION BASKETCONSUMPTION EXPENDITURESCONSUMPTION PER CAPITACOPING STRATEGIESCORRELATES OF POVERTYCOVARIATE SHOCKSCROP INCOMECROP PRODUCTIONDATA SETSDETERMINANTS OF POVERTYDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT INDICATORSDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYDIMENSIONS OF POVERTYDOMESTIC GRAIN PRODUCTIONDONOR SUPPORTDROUGHTDURABLE GOODSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INSECURITYECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC SECURITYEMERGENCY ASSISTANCEEMERGENCY SITUATIONSEMPLOYMENT STATUSESTIMATES OF POVERTYESTIMATION RESULTSEXCHANGE RATEEXPLANATORY VARIABLESFARM ASSETSFARM HOUSEHOLDSFARM LABORFARM PRODUCTIONFARM WORKFARMERFARMERSFINANCIAL CRISISFOOD AIDFOOD BASKETFOOD CROPSFOOD EXPENDITURESFOOD INSECURITYFOOD ITEMSFOOD NEEDSFOOD PRICEFOOD PROGRAMGEOGRAPHIC REGIONSGINI INDEXGROWTH RATESHIGH POVERTY REGIONSHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD COMPOSITIONHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD FOOD SECURITYHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEADSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD INCOME DIVERSIFICATIONHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD POVERTYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHOUSINGHUMAN ASSETSHUMAN CAPITALIMPACT OF SHOCKSINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME POVERTYINCOME REDISTRIBUTIONINCOME SHOCKINCOME SHORTFALLINCOME SUPPORTINCOME VOLATILITYINCREASED INVESTMENTINEQUALITYINEQUALITY REDUCTIONINSURANCEIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION EXPANSIONIRRIGATION INFRASTRUCTURELABOR FORCELAND MANAGEMENTLAND SIZELEVELS OF VULNERABILITYLIVESTOCK INCOMELIVESTOCK PRODUCERSLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSMALNUTRITIONMEASUREMENT OF POVERTYMUTUAL INSURANCENATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY HEADCOUNTNEGATIVE IMPACTNEGATIVE INCOME SHOCKNUTRITIONNUTRITIONAL STATUSPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPER CAPITA EXPENDITUREPER CAPITA GROWTHPOLICY MAKERSPOLITICAL STABILITYPOORPOOR AREASPOOR GROUPSPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOOR REGIONPOST HARVESTPOST HARVEST LOSSESPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY ESTIMATESPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY GAP INDEXPOVERTY HEADPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY OUTCOMESPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REGIONSPOVERTY STATUSPRO POORPRO POOR GROWTHPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICESPURCHASING POWERRATIONSREDUCTION IN POVERTYREDUCTION OF POVERTYREGIONAL CAPITALSREGIONAL MARKETREGIONAL POPULATIONREGIONAL POVERTYREGIONAL SHARERURALRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL DIETRURAL DIFFERENCESRURAL FARMRURAL HOUSEHOLDRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INCOMERURAL INCOMESRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POPULATIONSRURAL POVERTYRURAL PRODUCERSRURAL REGIONRURAL RESIDENCESAFETY NETSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NET SYSTEMSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL QUALITYSCHOOLINGSECOND ROUND EFFECTSSECTORAL COMPOSITIONSEED CERTIFICATIONSERVICE PROVIDERSSOCIAL NORMSSOCIAL SERVICESSPATIAL DIFFERENCESSPATIAL DIMENSIONSPATIAL DISTRIBUTIONSQUARED POVERTY GAPTARGETINGTRADE OFFSTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSFER PROGRAMSURBAN AREASVEGETABLESWATER SOURCESWEATHER INSURANCEWEATHER RISKWELFARE INDICATORWELFARE MEASUREWIDESPREAD CONSENSUSWorld Bank10.1596/12312
