Niger reviews mid-term progress under national refoundation program

Under the guidance of the Minister of State, senior officials from the Ministry of the Interior conducted a rigorous mid-term assessment of public action initiatives. From Moscow to Ouagadougou, Niger’s expertise is gaining international recognition.

Niamey, August 6, 2026 — A high-stakes working session unfolded this Wednesday in the halls of the Ministry of the Interior, Public Security and Territorial Administration. Led by the department’s Secretary General, Police General Ayouba Abdourahmane, the administrative leadership convened to scrutinize the initial steps taken within the framework of the Nation’s Rebuilding Program (PRR).

The gathering brought together governors, general directors, and state initiative coordinators for hours of intense deliberation. Their goal? To evaluate the tangible outcomes of ministerial decisions over the past quarter and, where necessary, recalibrate strategies to address lingering security and administrative challenges in the country’s most remote areas.
