The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), through its Sub-Regional Office for West Africa, is providing high-level technical support to Niger to strengthen the operational capacity of officials of the Directorate General of Taxes (DGI) in transfer pricing. The initiative was launched on 14 September 2026 in Niamey by the Government of Niger, through the Ministry of Economy and Finance, as part of ECA's continued support to Niger's domestic resource mobilization reform efforts. This support follows a comprehensive assessment of Niger's domestic resource mobilization system conducted by ECA in 2025, which identified strengthening international taxation, tax risk analysis, and specialized tax audits as priority areas for reform. The findings and reform priorities were subsequently validated in 2026. Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Sama Mamane, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, highlighted the importance of the programme.
