Chad
Why Chad? Chad was ranked 187 of 189 countries in the UNDP 2019 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.

A country left vulnerable
In Chad in 2020, it is expected that food insecurity, population displacement and the effects of climate change combined will aggravate an already precarious situation. Around 5.3 million people (one person out of three) are in need of humanitarian assistance.
Concern are responding to the humanitarian needs of host communities and displaced populations in the Lake Chad area, implementing health and nutrition programmes to deliver life-saving assistance and access to basic services health, water, hygiene and sanitation.
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.
