Relationship context
Overview
Spain has supported security-sector capacity building in Niger through the EUCAP Sahel Niger mission, alongside development and humanitarian cooperation. Information about specific Nigerien government actions toward Spain is insufficient to characterize that aspect of the relationship.
Key developments
The EU launched the EUCAP Sahel Niger civilian mission to support Niger's security forces; Spain has contributed to the mission.
Major uncertainties
- The scope and implementation of direct Spanish-Nigerien development cooperation are unclear.
- Details of Nigerien government cooperation specifically with Spain, rather than with multilateral missions, are limited.
