In the face of these great emergencies, COOPI intervenes in the region of Diffa with projects of protection, education in emergency, psychosocial support and mental health and collaborate with institutional partners such as the Regional Directorate of Protection, Education and Health. With the same strategy, COOPI implements nutrition projects in the northern area of Tillabéri. In the area of Maradi, COOPI is studying the current emergency, in association with other humanitarian organizations. For COOPI interventions, beneficiaries are among the most vulnerable groups, such as women, children and people with disabilities.
