Restrictions aimed at stopping extremism shouldn’t deny the people of the Lake Chad Basin their livelihoods.

By Omar S Mahmood

The ongoing terror threat in Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon has led the governments of the Lake Chad region to enact numerous security restrictions in affected areas. While these restrictions are meant to improve security for all, some affect civilians negatively – particularly regarding livelihoods.

1. Objectif de la Stratégie :
   

Cette stratégie définit les fonctions essentielles demandées au gestionnaires de l’information afin d’appuyer et de soutenir les mécanismes de coordination, de suivi et de déploiement des opérations liées aux activités du cluster.

Le cluster CCCM Abris AME a la responsabilité via ses partenaires de collecter des informations sur les lieux de déplacements. Suivant le type de réponse et le développement humanitaire, les informations collectées peuvent varier dans le temps et les partenaires engagés peuvent changer. Le cluster a créé à partir de l’ensemble des listes existantes une Liste Mère « Master List » où se trouve l’ensemble des lieux de déplacements.

SECURITY COUNCIL
8313TH MEETING (PM)

Recent developments in West Africa and the Sahel have been characterized by both volatility and democratic gains, the top United Nations official in the region told the Security Council today, warning that the latter “are not immune from reversal” and could be negatively impacted by the former.

It’s 7.30 in the morning and the clouds in the sky are holding back the heat. Soon it will rise, forcing people under the trees to find relief in the shade. The day starts early in Am Timan, in the east of Chad. Am Timan hospital, which MSF has worked in since 2006, is already bustling with people. A chorus of babies’ wails echo out from the paediatric ward – the first sign that the little patients are all awake.

Highlights in May and June

This Weekly Bulletin focuses on selected acute public health emergencies occurring in the WHO African Region. The WHO Health Emergencies Programme is currently monitoring 58 events in the region. This week’s edition covers key new and ongoing events, including:

• Humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia

• Humanitarian crisis in in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

• Hepatitis E outbreak in Namibia

• Cholera outbreak in Cameroon

• Ebola virus disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Emergency preparedness saves lives, reduces the impact of crises on vulnerable people's livelihoods and is much more cost-effective than repeated humanitarian action. This story shows how WFP's early warning analysis led to early action in the Sahel.
