The situation in Chad is alarming. Floods in 2024, combined with pest attacks, destroyed nearly 14 percent of cultivated areas, threatening to worsen food insecurity and malnutrition well before the lean season. In 2025, persistent insecurity, climate shocks and population movements will continue to hamper the recovery of vulnerable households. Emergency agricultural assistance will be crucial to enable them to feed themselves once their stocks are depleted and to safeguard their livelihoods.
