Justice Needs and Satisfaction studies
Niger is the latest country in HiiL’s justice transformation portfolio. Located in the Sahel region of Africa, Niger has a strong customary and informal justice sector. HiiL began working in Niger in 2020 when we conducted a Justice Needs & Satisfaction survey.
In 2023, HiiL explored opportunities for a Regional Consultation on People-centred Justice. This coalition included delegates from the Ministries of Justice of the Sahel countries (Niger, Mali, Chad, Mauritania, and Sudan).
In 2024, we conducted a quantitative study through the JNS in collaboration with LASDEL and a qualitative study in collaboration with Adham Juris Consult on access to justice in Niger. The results of these two studies allowed us, through this factsheet, to enrich our quantitative data with qualitative testimonies in order to bring more light and clarity to the path of Nigerien women in accessing justice.
