responsibillty for producing an annual report on development activities should henceforth lie with the Participating Governments themselves.

DEVELOP

THE

ONCHOCERCIASIS ZONE

OF

NIGER:

TI{E SAY

PROJECT

Ihe Say arrondissement may be brlefly described as a region with tremendous economic

potential, some of which extends far beyond its narrow confines and has national or even

international implications. This potential consists of:

availability of good fertile land, both along the river bank arrondissement , with a very ^1ow population density of five to

2

almost 600

OOO

hectares of cultivable but uncultivated land;

good rainfall compared wiLh the rest of the

the 600 and

8OO

nrn isohyets; country. The 4rrondissement is ^between availability of pasture land for caEtle;

considerable mining potential:

5OO

million tons of phosphates confitmed in the south-

east (Tapoa); it is estimated that one thousand million tons are available in the

region. Iron is present near Say.

However, the other side of the coin is not so favourable. The Say a.rgo4dissement is subject to certain obstacles which are seriously hampering development:

the existence of endemic diseases such as onchocerciasis and animal trypanosomiasis;

the isolated nature of the region;

the scarcity of water, because the region is part of the LipEako-Gourma.

Tt]E

DEVELOPMENT

OF

SAY

ARRONDISSEMENT: THE SAY

PROJECT

Since April 1974, the Government of Niger has been concerned with the setting-up of appropriate structures for the integrated development of the Say region.

1. Studies

A certain number of studies r^rere undertaken, financed from the US$

5OO OOO made

available by

UNDP

to each of the countries participating in the Onchocerciasis Control Programme in the Volta basin. Accordingly, the following studies were carried ouL:

aerial photographs of land occupancy, RAF/74/044 (June 1976). The majority of the arrondissement has been covered, the remainder soon will be;

- ^{human sciences} studies dealing with the agrarian, land ownership and socioeconomic

structures of the region, AXfiS/OZ1; carried out by the ^Human Sciences Research

Institute ^(l{ay 1977);

- reports and missions on planning by ^DHV consultants (Dutch) , nAlf/lS/OZO.

An unexpended balance from the

^UNDP

^fund will enable us to cover the rest of the arrondissement with aerial photographs and to ^make a supplementary survey of migration.

Another source of finance, USAID, has come to ^Niger's assistance for carrying out soil

science and hydrogeological studies:

- Ttre soil science studies of ^{Dyabou Plateau} have been completed. ^{They were carried} out by ORSTCI"I. Project No. 583-0218 - financed by USAID (US$ 15 0OO).

- Hydrogeological studies financed by USAID ^(US$ 230 O0O); Project ^{No. 683-0219.}

Ihese began in November L977 and are now in Eheir final ^phase, i.e. drillings.

2. Preparation of ^{documents on proposed action} in

^Say

arrondissement

After initialLy concentrating (f974) ^on the problem of migration, the objectives for ^the

development of the

Say

arrondissement were revised at an interministerial ^{meeting on} 23 December L977.

For Niger, migration in itself cannot be a major objective. It ^forms Part of a wider development project for the region.

Inviewofthis,activitiesundertakeninth.@!shou1dbedirectedfirst

at the indigenous population in order to establish a certain ^number of ^minimum conditions for improving the standard of living of the indigenous population and future irnmigrants.

Accordingly, the integrated development strategy for Say arrondissement can be sununarized as follows:

The development of ^Say arrondissemenE should be conceived as

a

compromi-se between its

tremendous potential on the one hand and the serious obstacles on the other hand.

Ttre development strategy for this region has been designed in accordance with ^an integrated structure of national complementarity, but this does not rule out a certain

number of specific local features.

Because of the range of activities which can be undertaken in the

Say

this area has a very large economi.c and social development Potential.

arrondissement

General obiecEives

The development of a counEry is based on the real problems facing its popul-ations.

In Niger, the present Government has realized that the drought and its consequences compel the country to do everything possible to combat hunger, thirst and disease.

As part of this struggle the Say arrondissement has a modest contribution to make in agriculture, forestry and mining. However, the region also has its share of ^problems, the

solving of which is essential and a prerequisite for possible economic expansion. ^These

problems are water, health and isolation.

The first objective of the present project is to increase cereal production. Every-

thing should be done to obtain from this reBion the surplus crops it is capable of ^producing

and to provide adequate structures for distributing this surplus i.n an effort to balance

national food supplies.

Again in the interests of food balance, livestock production potential should be

exploited by parasite control among animals and other veterinary activities.

The acquisition of cash income will enable the populations of Say to become more closely

involved in national and even international trading. Here we refer not only to the ^income

derived from the agricultural surplus but also to the future inccnne from the exploitation

of the region's mining resources.

JCC6

.5, Part I

page 4

The strategy at this level will be to avoid at all costs the pitfalls of polarization, whether sectoral or geographical. ^On the contrary, complementarity must be achieved ^between crops and livestock, between agricultural and mining development.

The setting-up of infrastructures and resources to achieve the above objectives will

make it possible to create a certain number of conditions favourable to a project for settling populations (migrant) in the empty and fertile parts of the ^Say arrondissement.

The general objectives listed above were discussed in a document entitled: ^rtSay project

development and exploitation of

^Say

arrondissement. Document I. Proposalst'. This document I covers (a) the physical and socioeconomic characteristics of the arrondissement and (b) the general proposals made on the basis of the ^general objectives surmnarized above.

Document II, I'AcEivities for the first phase", was prepared 1ater. This concerns

activities to be undertaken to develop the arrondissement dur ing the first phase of three or

four years. It should be pointed out that the overall project is planned to cover a 1O-year

period. The various points covered by the first phase of activities are sunrnarized below.
