COUNTRY / PROBLEM
The Republic of Niger is a landlocked country situated in West Africa, in the Sahara Desert.
In 2016, the United Nations considered Niger the second least developed country in the world. This was due to factors such as food insecurity, lack of industry, high population growth, a weak education sector, and low employment prospects outside agriculture and farming.
