Niger has reported significant progress in the digital transformation of its public administration, with more than 16,500 civil servant records digitised and 23,000 personnel files updated through the Integrated Human Resources Management System of the State and Payroll (SIGRHEP).
The progress was presented by Minister of Public Service, Labour and Employment Aissatou Abdoulaye Tondi during the first ordinary session of 2026 of the Consultative Council of the Refoundation (CCR), where the government outlined ongoing reforms aimed at modernising public administration and strengthening public sector human resource management.
A key pillar of the reforms is the implementation of SIGRHEP, an integrated digital platform designed to streamline human resources and payroll management across the public sector. The system is expected to support approximately 200,000 public sector employees and at least 150 human resources and payroll managers nationwide while ensuring uninterrupted service delivery.
According to the ministry, the digital transformation programme has already delivered the digitisation of more than 16,500 personnel records, the updating of 23,000 employee files and the development of several digital applications to improve public administration.
The government also highlighted broader reforms, including updated public service legislation, the introduction of individual performance evaluation tools, improved workforce deployment strategies, competitive recruitment processes and enhanced career management for public servants.
The initiative underscores Niger’s commitment to building a more efficient, transparent and digitally enabled public sector capable of delivering improved services to citizens.
