2025 Niger State Climate Governance Profile
Rank: 18 (shared: Edo, Niger, Gombe) | Total Score: 185 / 365 | Performance Category: Good
Trend: ↓ (fell from Rank 6 in 2024 to Rank 18 in 2025)
Overview
Niger’s institutional capacity and finance provisions are visible, but it shows an absence of a domesticated policy framework in this edition. Prioritise developing a state climate policy to ensure strategic coherence.
Thematic Performance
- Administrative Framework & Institutional Arrangements — 85 / 140
- Climate Policy & Action Plan — 0 / 60
- Project Implementation & Monitoring — 25 / 55
- Climate Finance & Budget Allocation — 50 / 60
- Online Visibility & Climate Communication — 25 / 50
Comparative Highlights
- Unusual mix: high finance scoring but no policy — a governance coherence risk.
- Needs a concise policy to connect finance to results.
Key Strengths
- Strong budget allocations and apparent financing commitments.
- Institutional capacity for program delivery.
Key Gaps / Challenges
- No domestic policy or action-plan scoring in this edition.
- Weak online visibility and MRV.
Recommendations
- Adopt a concise state climate policy immediately (short-term stopgap acceptable).
- Publish budgeted projects to demonstrate the policy→finance→implementation pathway.
- Build a basic online page to publicise budgeted climate projects and status.
