Cité Caisse (also: Cité CNSS ) is a district ( French : quartier ) in the Arrondissement Niamey III of the city of Niamey in Niger .

geography

Cité Caisse is located in the northeast of the urban parish of Niamey. The neighboring districts are Banizoumbou II in the north, Banifandou II in the east and south and Banifandou I in the west. Cité Caisse extends over an area of ​​about 18.5 hectares and, like the entire north of Niamey, lies in a plateau with a layer of sand less than 2.5 meters deep, which means that only limited infiltration is possible.

The standard scheme for street names in Cité Caisse is Rue BF 1 , where the French Rue for street is followed by BF for Banifandou and finally a number. This goes back to a project to name streets in Niamey in 2002, in which the city was divided into 44 zones, each with its own letter abbreviations. These zones do not necessarily coincide with the administrative boundaries of the eponymous districts. The rue BF 1 scheme is used not only in Banifandou I and Banifandou II, but also in Cité Caisse.

history

Cité Caisse was founded in the 1980s as a housing estate for officials of the state social insurance institution Caisse nationale de sécurité sociale (CNSS).

population

At the 2012 census, Cité Caisse had 3944 inhabitants living in 617 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 6,850 in 1,100 households.

Infrastructure

At the southwest corner of the neighborhood is the Cité Caisse market, which was built in 1986. It extends over an area of ​​0.4 hectares and is primarily important for the supply of the population of the district. The public primary school Ecole primaire de la Cité Caisse was founded in 1989.
