Niger IDP Household Enrolment in Maradi Region, Apr-Sep 2020

Maradi, Tahoua, and Tillaberi regions in Niger were the focus of an enrolment of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) conducted by the Government of Niger with UNHCR support. The data, a sample from the original, contains information on 2,169 registered households in Maradi between April and September 2020, profiling heads of households, family composition, needs, and displacement reasons. The enrolment aimed to inform protection responses and aid distribution following attacks by non-state armed groups.
