Niger: Diffa, Chetimari

IOM 2023/Aïssatou Sy

In Chetimari, located in the Diffa region, in the crisis-hit Lake Chad Basin region, the UN Migration Agency supports the local integration of displaced populations. With funding from the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the U.S. Department of State, IOM assisted vulnerable displaced persons and communities with transitional shelters (t-shelters) and income-generating activities (IGA). IGA revenue allows households to improve their t-shelters into a definitive structure and provide for their basic needs (food, education, health etc.).
