Niger is mainly known as a transit country for migratory flows from West Africa towards Libya and Algeria, and then, for some, further to the Mediterranean. Not having any possibilities to return, many remain stranded in Niger with no other choice than to try to earn enough to pay for the rest of their trip. 

In its transit centres, but also in the context of stranded migrants in the desert, IOM offers immediate attention and assistance to migrants. It’s comprised of food and water, shelter, and health and psychosocial assistance. Moreover, IOM assists all migrants, Nigeriens and third-country nationals who wish to return home with transport and return assistance.
