People with disability face stigmatization in most of African countries. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and the factors associated with stigma among people living with a disability in Niger. This is a secondary analysis of data from a cross sectional study on disability and HIV conducted in Niger from June to November 2018. People with disabilities in grades 3 and 4 identify with Washington Group Short Set of Questions, aged 15–60, were included. Factors associated with stigma were identified by a binary multilevel regression model. A total of 820 participants were included. The prevalence of stigma was 18%. People with intellectual (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.89; 95% Confidence interval [95%CI] [1.58–5.03]) and cognitive (aOR:2.82; 95%CI 1, 14–3.13]were more likely to experience stigma than other types of disabilities. People with disabilities over the age of 20 were 57% to 71% less likely to be stigmatized than people with disabilities aged 15–19. Living in the same accommodation with other people with disabilities was also a protective factor against the experience. There is a need to implement interventions to reduce the stigmatization of people with disabilities in Niger.
