Niger faces considerable corruption risk across its defence institutions, with limited controls in operations, and little access to financial and procurement information. The low level of information made available to audit bodies and Parliament tends to undermine the oversight of the entire sector, in particular as it relates to the procurement of military assets. However, Niger has impressive oversight of private sector linkages to military and defence.
