Since 2015, Chad’s Lake province has been severely affected by the impact of the northeastern Nigerian crisis. Ongoing military operations and security incidents, particularly in the border areas with Nigeria and the Niger, have caused population displacements and affected vulnerable local communities. Households’ livelihoods have been disrupted, increasing food insecurity and malnutrition in a context of low access to basic services, chronic poverty and climate variability.
Objectives
FAO is working with partners of the Food Security Cluster to:
• Provide an emergency response to protect the livelihoods of food‑insecure people.
• Strengthen the resilience of vulnerable populations against climatic shocks.
