An assessment of Niger's poverty reduction strategy : third meeting of the African learning group on the poverty reduction strategy papers, in process

Abstract

This study on Niger’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) commissioned by the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) is one in a series of PRSP country studies in Africa undertaken for the Africa PRSP Learning Group (PRSP-LG). The PRSP-LG established by the ECA in 2001 is an annual forum for African countries to exchange experiences on the PRSP; the country studies serve as background resources to distill lessons learnt and best practices. The PRSP country studies this year cover Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Republic of Guinea, Lesotho, Madagascar, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria and Sudan. The first meeting of the Group took place on the 5th and 6th of November 2001 and the third meeting will take place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, late this year.
