Introduction to the National City of Simiri, Niger
Simiri is a town in the Tillabéry Region of the Republic of Niger, located about 150 kilometers northwest of the capital city of Niamey, near the region of the tributaries of the Niger River. The region has a typical Sahelian climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, and its economy is based on agriculture and animal husbandry, with millet, sorghum and peanuts being the main crops.
Geographical location and demographic characteristics
Simiri is located in the western plains of Niger, with an average elevation of about 300 meters above sea level and surrounded by a savannah landscape. The inhabitants are mainly Hausa and Djerma, with a population of about 15,000. Their way of life retains the traditional village settlement pattern, with the mosque and open-air market as the center of community activities.
Economy and Transportation
As an agricultural town, Simiri is connected to Niamey and neighboring Burkina Faso by the RN4 road, and the weekly livestock market is an important regional trade event. In recent years the government has promoted a solar-powered irrigation project here to counter the impact of drought on agriculture.
Culture and social development
Oral literary traditions from western Niger continue in the region, and handicrafts are known for leatherwork and straw weaving. Although health and education facilities are basic, primary health posts and community schools are being established in partnership with NGOs.
