In the beginning of 2012, Luxembourg’s Development Cooperation aligned its support programme for the Rural Development Strategy (RDS) with the 3N Initiative (“Nigeriens Nourish Nigeriens”) which replaced the RDS by emphasising the need to increase agricultural production and the fight against recurrent food insecurity.
The evaluation of the 2008-2012 ICP noted delays in the implementation of all activities, and the Niger-Luxembourg Partnership Commission in November 2012 provided an opportunity to agree to an extension of the ICP for the period from 2013 to 2016 as well as an increase in the indicative budget.
