November 7, 2025, Niger
A contract for riverbank protection projects in Sabonga and Tambaranga, Niger, has been given by the West Africa Food System Resilience Programme (FSRP). The project was formally awarded on November 7, 2025, as part of initiatives to improve agricultural resilience and reduce flood risks in the area. A local Nigerien company called Entreprise Abidine Ben Cherif won the XOF 399,454,814 contract.
Scope and Details of the Contract
LOT NĀ°1: Travaux de protection des berges Ć Sabonga et Tambaranga is covered by the awarded contract (Bid/Contract Ref: NE-FRSP-NE-480953-CW-RFB), which focusses on strengthening riverbanks to stop erosion and enhance water management for nearby agricultural communities. Work is anticipated to start as soon as the contract is signed, with a four-month duration.
Organisations Concerned
The programme is carried out throughout Western and Central Africa and is funded by IDA-69980. Through a Request for Bids (RFB) procedure, the procuring authority awarded the contract, guaranteeing openness and competitive selection. Tahoua, Niger-based businessman Abidine Ben Cherif was the successful bidder. BACOREX BTP, a rival, was turned down because they didn't fit the eligibility requirements.
The Project's Significance
By protecting agricultural land from riverbank erosion and flooding, this intervention is essential to enhancing Niger's food system resilience. The project will assist local farmers in protecting crops, maintaining production, and bolstering livelihoods in semi-arid areas susceptible to climate shocks by stabilising the banks in Sabonga and Tambaranga.
Final Thoughts
Niger's dedication to improving agricultural resilience through focused infrastructure projects is demonstrated by the award given to Entreprise Abidine Ben Cherif. Over the course of the next four months, the riverbank protection project is anticipated to provide real advantages for nearby communities and support more general regional food security objectives under the FSRP framework.
