In brief
Programme outcome
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) representation in Chad supports the Red Cross of Chad (RCC) to provide humanitarian assistance to approximately 54,874 Sudanese refugees sheltered in the camps of the sub-prefecture of Hadjar Hadid. In line with the strategic aims under IFRC’s Strategy 2020, support is also provided to the National Society to respond to numerous humanitarian challenges such as food security, floods and epidemics. With the integration process of the IFRC in the National Society, capacity building for RCC staff is also being reinforced through training workshops and the transfer of skills and competences.
Programmes summary
While donor response to the refugee operation was low during the first half of 2011, delaying the implementation of planned activities, RCC received prompt support from Movement and nonMovement partners to respond to epidemics in three regions of the country during the year.
Sudanese refugees in the Tréguine and Bredjing camps continued receiving basic assistance (access to food, water and sanitation, as well as shelter and infrastructure) through a bilateral partnership between the RCC and UNHCR. IFRC’s field team provided technical support and monitored the implementation of activities.
