The operating environment in Niger is becoming increasingly complex, with additional risks arising from political instability. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳Niger is proactively implementing key reassurance measures in all programme areas to help ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳reach the most vulnerable people in a way that ensures the necessary safeguards and controls are in place, risks are minimised and resources are targeted to the intended beneficiaries. It means that ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳Niger consults and listens to the people it assists and respects their privacy; that ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳knows who is safely assisted, and who has not received assistance; that ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳can track its in-kind assistance from its source to the hands of the people it serves; and that ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳maintains operational independence in accordance with humanitarian principles.
