This article describes how Niger is responding swiftly and efficiently to droughts, which often endanger livelihoods and food security, by utilizing satellite-based early warning systems and adaptive social protection. Droughts have traditionally caused severe crises and drove households into detrimental coping methods (selling assets or decreasing food intake), as more than 80% of the population depends on rain-fed agriculture. In order to identify drought-affected areas and initiate early cash transfers, the government has incorporated satellite data, particularly water satisfaction statistics, into its national safety net program. As a result, aid can be provided to households soon after the rainy season instead of months later, stabilizing consumption, safeguarding assets, and enhancing resilience. Overall, the project shows how, in drought-prone areas like Niger, integrating satellite surveillance with adaptive cash-transfer systems can improve targeting, speed up humanitarian response, and increase long-term climate resilience.
