Le lait cru du Niger n’est que très faiblement valorisé, du fait de la très forte saisonnalité de la production et d’un réseau de commercialisation peu développé, alors que les besoins urbains sont importants et en constante augmentation. Le projet Nariindu a permis de développer une solution innovante de centre de collecte paysans multi-services, de 2012 à 2015. C’est un chaînon manquant de la filière lait locale qui a ainsi pu être mis en place : les centres offrent aux éleveurs du conseil et des intrants pour améliorer la santé des troupeaux et la qualité du lait (aliment en priorité, mais également soins vétérinaires, etc.) ; les éleveurs payent ces services avec le lait, qui leur fourni par ailleurs une source de revenus régulière.
