Niger
Le CIR aide le Niger à intégrer de façon effective le commerce dans son Plan de développement économique et social et, plus globalement, dans la Stratégie de développement durable et de croissance inclusive.
Le commerce a été intégré dans des stratégies sectorielles pour le tourisme, l'agriculture et les industries extractives. Le soutien ciblé accordé dans le secteur des cuirs et des peaux a été essentiel pour renforcer les capacités institutionnelles et techniques des producteurs et des exportateurs afin que ceux‑ci jouent un rôle plus actif dans la commercialisation de leurs produits.
