Dolé (also: Dollé ) is a village in the rural community of Tounouga in Niger .

Dolé, headed by a traditional local chief ( chef traditionnel ), is the most southern village in the country and is right on the border with Nigeria . The border region between Niger, Nigeria and Benin is the Dendi landscape . The village of Tounouga, the capital of the rural community of the same name, which belongs to the Gaya department in the Dosso region, is located about nine kilometers north of Dolé. Beyond the state border, Dolé continues in the settlement of Dolekaina ("Little Dole"), which is also known as Dole Ingilishi ("English Dole") according to the official language of Nigeria . The Dallol Foga dry valley flows into the Niger River near Dolé . The village is located in the wetland on the middle Niger II , which is one of the Ramsar areas in Niger . Dolé is threatened by floods. This happened, for example, in 2010 and 2015.

At the 2012 census, Dolé had 3,325 inhabitants who lived in 549 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 3,186 in 407 households, and at the 1988 census, the population was 2,238 in 346 households.
