On Monday, November 3, 2025 - The Minister of National Education, Literacy, and Promotion of National Languages, Dr. Elisabeth Shérif, officially launched the “One Week, One School” initiative at Lycée Kassaï in Niamey. The program is designed to enhance oversight of educational institutions through direct ministerial engagement, allowing for on-site evaluation of teaching conditions, infrastructure, and student outcomes.

That same day, the Route Filingue 10 Primary School, located in the Niamey 2000 district, inaugurated new facilities co-financed by UNICEF and the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB). The 203 million CFA Franc project includes 14 equipped classrooms, sanitary facilities, administrative offices, and a secure perimeter fence, providing an improved learning environment for more than 700 pupils. The initiative was hailed as a model of effective international cooperation aligned with Niger’s education refoundation priorities.

In the health sector, the Tahoua Region, under the leadership of Governor Colonel-Major Souleymane Amadou Moussa, reported a 99% execution rate for its yellow fever vaccination campaign, conducted from October 27 to November 2, 2025. The results were presented at a restitution workshop held on Thursday, November 6, 2025, highlighting the efficiency of the region’s public health coordination and the population’s strong adherence to vaccination efforts.

Together, these developments underscore the government’s dual commitment to human capital investment and international partnership, reinforcing progress toward the broader goals of the national refoundation agenda.
