This report analyzes progress in the environmental governance of the uranium mining sector in Niger. The study finds that Niger has seen the development of a considerable legislative and formal institutional framework for the environmental governance of the uranium mining sector. However, uranium mining, and the mining sector in general, is operating in the face of severe complaints from affected local populations, notably related to radioactive pollution, water resource depletion, work-related diseases, and the appropriation of land and resources.
