World Vision Niger held a meeting on November 27, 2025, in Niamey with 11 pre-selected local NGOs as part of its localization policy. The goal was to lay the groundwork for sustainable partnerships aligned with Niger’s local realities. The agenda included an overview of World Vision’s vision, mission, and values, safeguarding principles, the national strategy and context, the co-creation and NGO pre-selection process, policies on gifts and conflicts of interest, anti-corruption measures, and the status of NGOs in relation to the government. Discussions emphasized the need for shared understanding to ensure coherent collaboration. Three strategic priorities were presented: improving child nutrition, strengthening child protection, and enhancing reading skills, with inclusion as a cross-cutting theme. The meeting also highlighted a new co-creation approach involving joint fundraising, shared project implementation, transparent decision-making, and collective risk management. This marks an important step toward stronger, more balanced, and sustainable partnerships, enhancing collective efforts to bring lasting change to children’s lives in Niger.
