Plaidoyer et suivi sur la question d'utilisation des escortes pour les missions de terrain humanitaires
La situation apparaît particulièrement critique pour les ménages réfugiés. 9% des ménages réfugiés avaient un score rCSI supérieur à 42 et 37% avaient un score de consommation alimentaire pauvre.
La région de Maradi fait face à des dégâts considérables dus aux inondations provoquées par des fortes pluies enregistrées depuis le début de la saison. 342 villages répartis dans 34 communes situées dans les 9 entités administratives de la région ont été touchés, mais à des degrés différents.
"Sans éducation, les enfants font face à un avenir sans espoir. La vie d'un enfant exclu de l'école est une tragédie de potentiel non réalisé et d'opportunité perdue. Dans une région confrontée à des conflits et à une instabilité de plus en plus complexe   aggravés par les effets de la Covid 19   l'éducation ne peut jamais être une option, c'est une nécessité, une question de survie et une clé de la stabilité sociale", a poursuivi Dr Félicité Tchibindat.
Les contributions précédentes d'Education Cannot Wait ont également aidé l'UNICEF à construire 179 nouveaux espaces d'apprentissage temporaires à Tillabery et Tahoua et à réhabiliter au moins 26 espaces existants. Ces espaces ainsi que des salles de classe plus permanentes ont été équipés de matériel d'apprentissage.
Ce nouveau soutien financier permettra à l'UNICEF d'améliorer l'accès à l'apprentissage dans des environnements protecteurs pour un total de 12.000 enfants touchés par la crise dans les régions de Diffa et de Maradi, répondant aux crises préexistantes et à l'effet cumulatif du COVID 19.
« Au Niger, la dynamique partenariale est très forte autour du fonds commun. Outre l'AFD, Lux Dev, la coopération suisse, l'UNICEF et la Norvège y contribuent. Lux Dev en particulier a joué un rôle moteur dans la création de ce fonds. L'engagement des partenaires est renforcé et nous travaillons collectivement avec les autorités nigériennes à réussir ensemble. Cela change beaucoup de choses », souligne Audrey Martinenq Duplessis.
Au Niger, le Plan de transition du secteur de l'éducation et de la formation  ( PTSEF )  2020 2022 vise à diversifier les parcours d'éducation, cibler les premières années du primaire, accroître le temps scolaire, améliorer la production et l'emploi des données statistiques, et mieux gérer les ressources enseignantes. Il fait de la réduction des inégalités un de ses principaux objectifs.
Il est ainsi prévu un accompagnement important des échelons de proximité  ( et le transfert de ressources correspondant )  pour assurer l'encadrement des écoles, la formation continue des enseignants, le dialogue sur la « carte scolaire » avec les collectivités locales et le dialogue sur le « pilotage de la qualité » au sein de la communauté éducative.
A moyen et long termes, un schéma directeur de l'assainissement pour l'ensemble des villes du Niger doit être elaboré et mis en oeuvre, la création d'une commission d'études permettant de faire une analyse sur les dispositions à prendre pour éviter la répétition des inondations s'avère nécessaire, telles que la construction des ouvrages de collecte des eaux.
En outre, 14,9 milles tonnes de nourriture et environ 4,6 millions de FCFA ont été prépositionnés.
Le gouvernement et les partenaires humanitaires avaient distribué plus de 158 tonnes de nourriture dans la région de Tillabéri.
Ainsi, les distributions de nourriture se sont poursuivies dans la région de Maradi, la plus affectée par ces intempéries où le gouvernement a prépositionné plus de 177 tonnes de riz.
La situation sécuritaire dans la zone des trois frontières du Mali, du Burkina Faso et du Niger a continué à s'aggraver. La zone abrite de nombreux groupes armés non étatiques en conflit avec les forces armées.
La pandémie frappe de plein fouet un système de santé déjà fragile. À Tillaberi, Tahoua, Diffa et Maradi, l'accès à des soins de santé, déjà difficile en raison de l'état d'urgence et de l'insécurité, est encore plus limité, en particulier pour les personnes déplacées.
Le score rCSI apparaît particulièrement élevé dans la région de Maradi ce qui peut être lié à un impact précoce des inondations dans cette zone.
Les régions de Zinder, Dosso et Tillabéri semblent avoir la situation la plus critique en termes de sécurité alimentaire.
Les mesures liées à l'épidémie de COVID 19 et la hausse des prix observée au mois de juillet contribuent à expliquer un niveau d'insécurité alimentaire plus élevé que la normale.
Evaluation de l'insécurité alimentaire chronique au Niger FEWS NET   mars 2019 70% à 75% de la population sont considérés en insécurité alimentaire chronique dans la région de Zinder.
Rapport d'étude de faisabilité du transfert monétaire à Tillabéri et Tahoua Juillet 2020 17% des fournisseurs de biens alimentaires des commerçants enquêtes étaient originaires d'un pays frontalier. 69% des IC commerçants interrogés ont déjà connu des ruptures d'approvisionnement.
« Les flux transfrontaliers en provenance du marché régional  ( … )  évoluent significativement en dessous de la moyenne à cause des crises sécuritaires  ( et des )  mesures restrictives pour la prévention du COVID 19 ».  ( Fews Net, mise à jour sur la sécurité alimentaire, août 2020 )
Selon le rapport d'étude sur les moyens de subsistance à Diffa  ( REACH, août 2020 ) , l'agriculture pour l'autoconsommation a été fortement impactée par l'insécurité ainsi que par les restrictions liées au COVID 19 qui ont notamment limité les migrations saisonnières pour le travail dans les champs à Maine Soroa.

50% des ménages non déplacés n'ont pas accès à un marché à moins d'une heure de marche.
88,5% des ménages ont rapporté ne pas avoir rencontré de barrières d'accès à l'aide humanitaire.
Les ménages non déplacés semblent avoir une situation plus critique que les ménages réfugiés dans la région d'Agadez en matière de sécurité alimentaire
The most needed health care services across Derna, according to KIs, were emergency care, chronic disease treatments, surgery, and skilled childbirth care.
The Interior Ministry of the Government of National Accord in Tripoli has posted a video of underaged boys captured from the forces attacking Tripoli under the command of Khalifa Haftar
Continuous attacks on the water system further jeopardise levels of health and hygiene among the civilian population, particularly those most vulnerable, including children, and cause further hardship and possible displacement.
Nearly 4,200 people in Libya are currently being held in detention centres  ( DCs ) , with 2,450 being of concern to UNHCR.
Total resettlement processing in Libya and Niger  ( Groups 1, 2, 3, 4 )  Since 1 September 2017, a total of 3,933 individuals have been submitted for resettlement from Libya and Niger to 12 resettlement States.

• Food insecurity remains a challenge due to protracted displacement, markets disruption, and lower food commodity production. Livelihoods and access to basic social services have been affected by the conflict, exposing the most vulnerable people to a high risk of inadequate food consumption and forcing people to adopt negative coping strategies such as spending their savings, cutting the number of daily meals and reducing non food related expenses, particularly for health and education.
Tobruk Port was closed in mid December after gunmen entered the port and took items from a container. While this may force some shipping to be redirected to other locations, putting a greater strain on them, an impact on humanitarian operations is unlikely, as humanitarian assistance generally comes from regional procurement in Tunisia or Egypt, from local purchases, or is transported from further afield by sea or air into Tripoli, Misratah or Benghazi.
Persons of Concern to UNHCR in Libya As of 25 February 2019, a total of 56,648 asylum seekers and refugees are registered with UNHCR in Libya. A total of 4,122 individuals have been identified by UNHCR and its partners to be currently in one of the accessible Libyan detention centres. Evacuation from Libya Since the start of the evacuation operation from Libya in late 2017, a total of 3,175 persons  ( including unaccompanied children )  have been evacuated to Niger  ( 2,491 ) , Italy  ( 415 )  and the ETC Romania  ( 269 ) . There are 152 evacuated unaccompanied children remaining in Niger.
According to the UN Support Mission in Libya, approximately 6,400 individuals were being held in 26 official prisons operated by the Ministry of Justice during the reporting period  ( Aug 2018–Jan 2019 ) . . Thousands more were being held in facilities nominally under the control of the Ministry of the Interior or the Ministry of Defence, as well as facilities directly run by armed groups. The report also states that arbitrary detention and torture continue to be widespread.
Access to detention centers for humanitarian workers who provide basic supplies and healthcare, often through EU funded programs, is unpredictable. Reuters has been unable to gain access to centers for more than a year. Media visits became rarer after CNN reported in November 2017 that migrants were being traded in slave auctions in Libya.
An Egyptian military spokesman, Colonel Tamer Al Refai, said in statement on Saturday that eight militants were killed in an airstrike near Egypt's border with Libya.
 Since 4 April, when fighting began to flare up in areas near the Libyan capital, the security situation in western Libya remains fluid and unpredictable.
The humanitarian community remains very concerned about the protection of civilians, and reports from persons caught in fighting have been received and are being followed up. There is a particular concern for the safety and security of some 1,300 refugees and migrants who are currently in close proximity to conflictaffected areas in the Qasr Ben Gashir Detention Center and the Ain Zara Detention Center.
Niger Migrants departing Niger mainly arrive to Libya directly, without transiting through another country. Only 2% of the migrants surveyed who had departed Niger reported going to Algeria first before reaching Libya, and all of them were surveyed in the western regions of Libya. Those who were surveyed in the South and East did not transit through other countries on their way to Libya.
Mali Migrants departing Mali used three main routes to reach Libya; 42% travelled to Libya through Algeria, 36% travelled through Niger and 21% travelled through Burkina Faso and then Niger to reach Libya. The remaining 1% reported other routes. The chosen routes depend significantly on whether the migrant enters through an official or unofficial border crossing point. More than half of those who entered Libya officially travelled from Mali by air  ( 52% ) . Among those who reported entering through unofficial border crossing points, 42% entered through Algeria, 37% through Niger. The remaining 21% entered Burkina Faso and Niger first before arriving in Libya.
Bangladesh 99% of Bangladeshi nationals surveyed reported travelling by air. 92% reported coming to Libya directly  ( with only few hours of transit in other countries )  while 5% reported transiting through Egypt before continuing their journey to Libya. The remaining 3% reportedly transited through other countries.
Ghana The main route reported by migrants departing Ghana was through Burkina Faso and Niger  ( 76% of surveyed migrants departing Ghana ) . 8% reported travelling through Nigeria and Niger to reach Libya and 5% reported transiting through Burkina Faso, Mali and Algeria successively. Another 5% reported travelling through Togo, Benin and then Niger before entering Libya. The remaining 6% disclosed other routes. Disaggregating routes by the region in Libya where migrants were surveyed revealed that 88% of Ghanaian migrants surveyed in the South of Libya reported travelling through Burkina Faso and subsequently Niger, whereas only 66% in the East and 68% in the West of Libya took this route.
Burkina Faso 92% of migrants departing Burkina Faso reported travelling through Niger while 4% travelled to Mali first and then to Algeria to reach Libya. Another 3% travelled first to Mali and then to Niger before entering Libya. The remaining 1% reported other routes. The migration cost reported by migrants transiting through Niger was higher than the cost reported by those who travelled through Mali and Algeria. 79% of migrants who departed Burkina Faso and entered Libya through Niger reported spending more than USD 1,000 while among those who travelled through Mali and then Algeria before reaching Libya only 59% reported spending more than 1,000 USD. The routes reported by migrants departing Burkina Faso varied significantly depending on where the migrants were surveyed in Libya. 99% of those surveyed in the South reported travelling to Libya through Niger while the remaining 1% travelled to Mali first and then to Algeria before entering Libya. However, those migrants surveyed in the West had used various routes: 56% travelled through Niger, 20% travelled to Mali first and then to Algeria, 16% travelled to Mali and then Niger, 5% travelled to Nigeria and then to Niger. The remaining 3% used various other routes.
Cameroon The main route disclosed by migrants departing Cameroon was through Nigeria and then Niger  ( 71% of the surveyed sample ) . 23% reported transiting through Chad before reaching Libya while the remaining 6% reported other routes
MURZUQ Reportedly, the number of migrants present in the municipalities of Algatroun and Alsharguia increased in the month of November. Field observers in Algatroun also reported a decrease in the transportation costs during the reported period. Nigerien migrants were reportedly travelling to Libya after the cultivation season in Niger had ended, as job opportunities were expected to be better in Libya. Transiting migrants were observed staying in Algatroun only for a short period before continuing to Sebha and then to the North. In December, the number of crossing migrants has declined again as temperatures dropped and the security situation intensified.
Hiftar has reportedly ordered LNA forces not to target civilians in Tripoli. However, fighters under his command have been implicated in serious abuses against civilians elsewhere in the country, including preventing civilians from leaving areas under siege, looting and burning homes, and carrying out summary executions. Hiftar is not known to have held any LNA forces accountable for war crimes or human rights abuses.
SEBHA Sebha is one of the most dynamic migrant destination and transit points in Libya. Apart from fluctuating seasonal migrant flows, the security situation in Sebha and neighbouring areas as well as available job opportunities greatly impact migratory movements. In November, a slight decrease in the number of arrivals to Sebha was reported due to decreasing opportunities on local job markets in the region and an increasingly tense security situation.
Militias in western Libya have also committed serious abuses, Human Rights Watch said. They include failing to take all feasible precautions during fighting in residential areas to spare civilians; forcibly displacing people without military justification and barring their return home; arbitrarily detaining and abusing thousands of migrants and asylum seekers; and persecuting journalists and civil society activists.
Three survivors of a rubber dinghy that sank in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Libya say up to 117 other migrants were aboard at the time, a U.N. migration official said Saturday. It appeared to be the latest tragedy on the dangerous central Mediterranean route from North Africa to Europe. Flavio Di Giacomo of the International Organization for Migration  ( IOM )  told Italian state TV that “unfortunately about 120' migrants were reported by survivors to have been on the overloaded smugglers' dinghy when it was launched from Libyan shores on Thursday evening. "After a few hours, it began sinking and people began drowning,' Di Giacomo said.

Despite reconciliation agreements that should have paved the way for Tawerghans' return, the massive and deliberate destruction of the town and its infrastructure, and a pervasive feeling of insecurity, have kept all but a few families from returning. New satellite imagery analysis shows that between 2013 and 2017, when militias from the nearby city of Misrata effectively controlled Tawergha, over 20 kilometers of the city's underground electric cable network was most likely removed and apparently stolen.

Civilians trapped by frontline fighting face water and power cuts, as well as shortages of essential items such as food, safe drinking water, medicine and fuel. Armed clashes, random shelling, roadblocks and explosives placed on roads hamper the ability of humanitarian actors to evacuate civilians and to deliver needed aid, as well as the ability of civilians to move freely to safer areas and access vital goods and services
This year alone, UNSMIL documented at least 647 civilian casualties  ( 284 Deaths and 363 injured )  in Libya. Since the launch of the offensive on Tripoli on April 4th, serious violations of human rights and humanitarian law have been committed with total impunity. The ongoing conflict in Libya has taken a terrible toll on civilians, and as there is no military solution, the UN continues to call for a ceasefire and return to negotiations.
Last year, AOAV recorded a significant increase in casualties from explosive violence in Libya, with 392 civilian casualties recorded, compared to 163 the previous year – amounting to an rise of 140%.
Having peacefully taken control of major southern oil field Sharara on Monday, the LNA, which is loyal to a government based in Libya's east, now has its sights set on a second, al Feel, local sources say. The LNA is said to be negotiating with senior figures from the local Tebu people in an attempt to peacefully take over the oil field, which has been held by the tribe's militias since 2013. LNA troops stationed at Ghadduwah oasis, lying between key southern towns of Murzuq and Sebha, are now engaged in a military stand off against Tebu militias allied with the Tripoli based UN backed Government of National Accord  ( GNA ) .
LNA forces took control of Sharara oil field on Monday after negotiating a handover by the mostly Tuareg Brigade 30, which had secured it since 2017. Attempts by the rival GNA to secure dominance over the oil field by sending Gaddafi era Tuareg commander Ali Kanna to hold talks with Brigade 30 over the weekend appear to have failed. The Tebu had hoped to secure their southern territory by forging an alliance with the Tuareg under Kanna to hold back LNA advances, but the handover of Sharara was a major setback. Most Tuareg brigades in Ubari pledged allegiance to the LNA earlier this week.
Tripoli based government spokesman Mohammed al Salak said late Wednesday the bombing took place in the town of Ubari, about 950 kilometers, or 590 miles, south of the capital, Tripoli.

Emigration to Libya's neighbouring countries was reportedly low, as respondents still felt that Libya remained the most attractive destination for refugees and migrants in the region, both to work and to transit to Italy.
