Sažetak
The Republic of Niger is facing crises that are mutually reinforcing: climate crises, inflation, debt crises and deglobalisation, which are hitting rural areas particularly hard. Rural development – a key issue of sustainable development - in Niger is linked to thirteen UN SDGs. A household survey was organised to assess the socio-environmental-economic conditions of a small village in rural Niger. Twenty percent of the households are smallholders, 15% large farmers, one household is nomadic, and 62% subsistence farmers. The household survey also provides information on the structure of agricultural production in different households, energy and water consumption, and the impact of climate change on living conditions. The results of these household survey will be mapped against the rural SDGs, their targets, and indicators to provide a holistic picture of sustainable rural development in West Africa, using the example of rural Niger. The lessons from rural Niger can be applied not only to West Africa, but to all developing countries facing similar challenges, especially in rural areas.
