Keen for change
As the Niger River winds its way through West Africa, responsibility for its wellbeing shifts from one country to the other - countries such as Niger, Mali, and Nigeria, which benefit from the river's many services.
Throughout the river's basin, WWF is trying to achieve several things:
- Develop and put into practice sustainable development activities
- Consolidate the legal and institutional framework, in order to improve cooperation between the riparian countries of the Niger River Basin
- Develop water resources in the Niger River Basin in a sustainable and equitable manner so as to promote prosperity, security and peace for all the populations living in the basin
