CONTEXT & RATIONALE
Since the start of the security crisis in Mali in 2012, the border area between Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger has been characterized by a climate of insecurity due to the pres-ence of non-state armed groups (GANEs), rising crime and intercommunity tensions. To compensate for the lack of information on these localities, REACH, in collaboration with humanitarian clusters and working groups, has set up a quarterly monitoring of the humanitarian situation in the departments located in this zone.
This assessment provides a periodic overview of the relative severity of multi-sectoral needs and their evolution in the Three Borders area between Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. More specifically, the study focuses on the East, Sahel, North and Centre-North regions of Burkina Faso; the Ménaka, Gao, Mopti, Ségou and Timbuktu regions of Mali; and the Tahoua and Tillabéri regions of Niger.
