Cependant les systèmes de production mis en place méritent d'être améliorés par l'introduction de technologies les plus performantes. C'est pourquoi, le Gouvernement de la 7ème République a décidé de mettre en œuvre l'initiative « 3N » ou « Les Nigériens Nourrissent les Nigériens ».
I am confused that this term should be translated or not.

Nigeriens Nourish Nigeriens (3N)
Based on the following reference:
"Niamey, Niger (PANA) - The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) is prepared to support the agricultural programme, called "Nigeriens Nourish Nigeriens (3N)", initiated in Niger by President Mahamadou Issoufou, FAO Director General Jacques Diouf said after a two-day visit to the country."

BTW, the CIA Factbook is a good source for national appellations.

In such cases it is normal to add a translation in brackets after the first appearance and then leave it untranslated in the rest of the document. I.e.
"Nigériens Nourrissent les Nigériens" (Nigerians feeding Nigerians)
the first time.

As Petitavoine correctly pointed out, this is Niger and not Nigeria. Unfortunately, I can't find an English word for the inhabitants of Niger! I would suggest you fudge it a bit and use "Niger feeding Niger" or something similar.

Nigerians Feed Nigerians
It's a slogan, isn't it? About Nigeria becoming self-sufficient in food?
Maybe it could be extended to 'Nigerians Feeding Nigerians' - increases the graphic content, the impact, or 'Nigerians Feeding Nigeria' - meaning all the Nigerians, unpacking the lack of an article in the first mention and its presence in the second.
