Synopsis (short abstract) The humanitarian situation in Chad has worsened during the past year mainly due to repeated attacks by armed groups, inter-community conflict over natural resources and climate-related shocks, which add to the country’s already fragile socio-political context and poor development. These factors have triggered significant population displacements and are hindering people’s access to basic services, while disrupting vulnerable households’ livelihoods and leading to increased levels of food insecurity. Providing emergency agricultural and pastoral support is crucial to strengthen the resilience of the most vulnerable populations and increase their self-reliance.

    In Chad, recurrent climatic shocks and conflict are exacerbating people’s food insecurity, particularly in the Lake Chad Basin, where there are nearly 300 000 displaced people. In addition, the country hosts a large number of refugees from the Central African Republic and the Sudan. Despite good cereal production from the 2019/20 agricultural season, a 42-percent fodder deficit was registered in the Sahel region, significantly affecting feed availability for pastoralists’ during the dry season. Furthermore, drought, irregular rainfall and increased insecurity are preventing herders from access grazing land. Livestock mortality rates have al o been increasing during this year’s pastoral lean season. Following confirmed COVID-19 cases, the Government put in place a series of urgent and essential health-related mitigation measures, including the lockdown of all the main cities, movement restrictions and border closures. These are indirectly affecting the supply chain, limiting imports and disrupting markets, which is adding pressure on conflict-affected areas – Lake Chad Basin and Tibesti – where 40 percent of the population is experiencing difficulties in accessing markets. In addition, the prices of millet – one of Chad’s most important subsistence crops – has sharply increased, by 37 percent between April 2019 and April 2020. In the framework of FAO’s Corporate COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme and the United Nations Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19, FAO has revised its humanitarian response for 2020 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and address the needs of the most vulnerable households.

    Particularly exposed to climate-related risks, Chad is one of the world’s most vulnerable countries. Structural development challenges, weak local capacities, high poverty rates and successive shocks exacerbate the population’s vulnerabilities. In addition, the conflict in the Lake Chad Basin and in neighbouring countries, together with the economic difficulties linked to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are increasing humanitarian needs in the country. With an already fragile context exacerbated by the effects of the pandemic, providing emergency agricultural and pastoral support remains essential to strengthen the resilience of the most vulnerable populations.

    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. In 2019, FAO is requesting for USD 21million to assist 272 025 people through agricultural and livestock support.
