Read the reportWhy Chad? Chad was ranked 186 of 189 countries in the UNDP 2017 Human Development Index. It continues to struggle with significant development needs and vulnerability to natural and human-made crises. Poverty remains a considerable challenge and is especially prevalent in rural areas.
In 2017, food insecurity, population displacement and the effects of climate change combined to leave 8.1 million Chadians in a state of acute or chronic vulnerability – aggravating an already precarious situation. Around 4.7 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance.
We are responding to the humanitarian needs of displaced populations in the Lake Chad area, implementing health and nutrition programmes to deliver life-saving assistance. Our work in the Sila region of eastern Chad focuses on building community resilience to counter potential disasters. These include the effects of climate change.
