    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

    Niger

    Niger, owing to its climatic,
    institutional, livelihood, economic, and environmental
    context, is one of the most vulnerable countries of the
    world. Poverty is pervasive in Niger and it ranks low on
    almost all the human development indicators. Agriculture is
    the most important sector of Niger's economy and
    accounts for over 40 percent of national gross domestic
    product (GDP) and is the principle source of livelihood for

    This paper examines spending plans
    suggested by the recent literature regarding Dutch disease
    and examines their implications to Niger relative to its
    expanding mineral sector. The key to the benefits of
    significant mineral revenue lies with the productivity and
    supply responses of spending. If significant output gain is
    ensured, then there is little difference across the spending
    plans in their effects on real consumption. The overshooting

    The Sahel region has seen the forcible
    displacement of more than million persons as a result of
    conflict. Tackling displacement in the Sahel is critical for
    both poverty alleviation and stabilization, and only a
    development response will be adequate to the task. A
    development response to forced displacement in the Sahel
    requires a regional approach. Such an approach would have
    the benefits of being able to overcome challenges relating

    Most of the poor in Sub-Saharan Africa
    live in rural areas where agriculture is the main income
    source. This agriculture is characterized by low performance
    and its productivity growth has been identified as a key
    driver of poverty reduction. In Niger, as in many other
    African countries, productivity is even lower among female
    peasants. To build policy interventions to improve
    agricultural productivity among women, it is important to

    A development response to forced
    displacement in the Sahel requires a regional approach. Such
    an approach would have the benefits of being able to: (i)
    overcome challenges relating to cross--- border movements,
    (ii) obtain commitments by host governments to support the
    prospects of displaced from neighboring countries and (iii)
    facilitate common approaches, shared conceptualization and
    learning. A regional approach will be appropriate in the

    promote sustainable land management (SLM) and other
    activities to reduce poverty and vulnerability. Overall,
    more than 50 programs have promoted SLM in Niger. Despite
    large investments in SLM programs, their impacts on land
    management, agricultural production, poverty, and other
