Abstract

In accordance with its vision of development, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) took action in Niger in the Tahoua region through the implementation of four types of interventions. These include the distribution of unconditional cash (Action 1), the distribution of agricultural inputs and technical training (Action 2), unconditional cash followed by distribution of agricultural inputs and technical training (Action 3), through the combination of Action 3 followed by distribution of zootechnical inputs (Action 4). This study was carried out to analyze the effects of these interventions on improving the living standards of vulnerable populations. Also, a household survey was carried out with 10% of the beneficiaries of the villages of the commune of Kalfou, region of Tahoua. A total of 40 heads of households were surveyed. The results showed that Action 1 enabled 30% of the beneficiaries to set up working capital to carry out an activity that generates income. Improved food availability is observed in 100% of beneficiaries with Action 2. Actions 3 and 4 have enabled 40% and 70% of beneficiaries respectively to increase their income. The results of the study will enable decision-makers to choose the options for strengthening the resilience of the most vulnerable households.
