Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin for Niger – October–November 2025 (No. 66) 12/01/2026
Summary :
The Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin for Niger (October–November 2025) highlights a generally favorable situation for pastoral households at the end of the rainy season. Pasture availability is assessed as good to very good across most monitored areas, supported by above-average vegetation cover. Surface water resources remain largely sufficient for livestock watering, despite localized shortages, notably in Gouré and Tchintabaraden. Livestock body condition is overall satisfactory, reflecting these favorable environmental conditions. From an economic perspective, rising livestock prices combined with a generalized decline in cereal prices have improved livestock-to-cereal terms of trade, benefiting herders in most regions. However, the bulletin also reports a slight deterioration in the security context, characterized by increased livestock theft, intercommunal conflicts, and armed incidents in certain areas. As the transhumance period approaches, these security challenges may heighten tensions around natural resource access and pose risks to pastoral livelihoods.

Willingness to Pay for Insurance Against Natural Risks: A Field Study in Burkina Faso 30/12/2025
Summary :
This article examines the determinants of willingness to pay (WTP) for flood insurance in urban Burkina Faso, with a particular focus on the role of information and information sources. The analysis is based on a field survey conducted in September 2022 among 593 individuals in Ouagadougou. The findings indicate that 71.3% of respondents are willing to pay for flood insurance, although most report a WTP lower than the expected loss. Being well informed about flood risks increases WTP, but the relationship is not proportional, as perfectly informed individuals may display lower WTP. Trust in government and private insurance providers, as well as ambiguity aversion, positively influence WTP, while reliance on family networks and risk aversion reduce it. The study highlights the importance of integrating information effects and communication channels into flood risk management and insurance demand policies in urban contexts.

Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin for Northern Côte d’Ivoire – August–September 2025 (No. 6) 19/12/2025
Summary :
The Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin for Northern Côte d’Ivoire (August–September 2025) assesses pastoral conditions in the Bounkani and Tchologo regions during the rainy season. It highlights a generally favorable availability of pasture and water resources, supported by regular rainfall, although localized shortages persist in areas such as Diawala, Nafana, and Youndouo. Overall animal health is considered satisfactory, despite isolated disease outbreaks in zones with high livestock concentration. The bulletin also points to a fragile security context, characterized by recurrent cattle theft and localized incidents, particularly in Bounkani. The influx of refugees from Ghana increases pressure on natural resources and heightens the risk of social tensions. From an economic perspective, markets remain accessible, but terms of trade deteriorate in Bounkani, indicating a decline in pastoral purchasing power. The report calls for strengthened community monitoring, improved animal health surveillance, and enhanced cross-border coordination to anticipate emerging risks.

Multisectoral Surveillance Bulletin on the Regions of Tombouctou and Taoudénni – Mali, No. 15 28/01/2026
Summary :
This multisectoral surveillance bulletin examines the humanitarian, agro-pastoral, health, nutrition, and security situation in the regions of Tombouctou and Taoudénni in Mali for October–November 2025. It highlights the continuation of rice harvesting and the completion of rain-fed crops, generally assessed as satisfactory despite input shortages and localized drought-related losses. Rising water levels of the Niger River have improved pastoral resources but temporarily disrupted road infrastructure and reduced fishing production. From a security perspective, reported incidents have declined; however, persistent pressure from armed groups—including access restrictions and zakat collection—has led to significant internal displacement. Food security remains fragile, with projections indicating a sharp increase in populations facing crisis levels of food insecurity in 2026. Nutritional conditions have deteriorated, particularly in Tombouctou, where cases of global acute malnutrition have risen. This situation is exacerbated by infectious diseases, malaria, and low household purchasing power, underscoring the need for strengthened humanitarian and social protection interventions.
