Lean Season in Chad LEAN SEASON IN CHAD A CRITICAL TIME Every year, Chad confronts the lean season (the period between harvests, from June to September). During these months, households have little or no food stocks and vulnerable people resort to negative coping strategies that are harmful for their health (reduction of number and quality of meals) and that are likely to undermine their fragile livelihoods, such as selling productive assets. WFP Chad’s assistance is critical to curb this cyclical food and nutritional crisis. NUMBER OF BENEFICIARIES (BY THE WORST LEAN PROVINCE) SEASON IN NINE YEARS Urgent action is needed to counter the devastating effects of the lean season in Chad. The number of food insecure people is expected to increase from nearly 4 million (March-May 2021) to 5.1 million from June to August 2021, when food is scarce before the next harvest. The overall situation is particularly alarming due to the decrease in crop production in the Sudanese region and low water resources in the Sahel and Sudanese zones, also impacting pasture availability. In KANEM the midst of the Covid-19 crisis and B.E.G. WADI FIRA against the background of a political 110,375 90,045 transition 24 departments are on 175,013 crisis phase in 2021, compared to BATHA 15 in 2020. LAC 109,993 The March 2021 Cadre Harmonisé, 168,160 a joint food security analysis released under the auspices of the Permanent Interstate Committee GUERA for Drought Control in the Sahel 30,362 (CILSS), estimates that more than 1.7 million people will be severely food insecure (IPC Phases 3-5), Departments by province: while nearly 3.3 million will face B.e.G.: B.e.G Nord, B.e.G South, B.e.G Ouest | Batha: Batha Ouest, difficulties to meet their daily eating Fitri | Guera: Mangalme | Kanem: needs (IPC Phase 2). About 165,410 Kanem, Nord Kanem, Wadi Bissam people during the lean season will | Lac: Mamdi, Wayi, Fouli, Kaya | Wadi Fira: Biltine, Dar Tama, Kobe, be facing emergency levels (IPC Megri. Phase 4). LEAN SEASON IN CHAD ADDRESSING IMMEDIATE NEEDS To prevent vulnerable communities from sliding deeper will be systematically done through the food and nutrition into food insecurity and malnutrition, WFP and its partners assistance platform to facilitate early detection and will provide food and nutritional assistance to reach most referral of moderate and acute malnutrition cases to the vulnerable people throughout the lean season. WFP plans nearest health facilities. to provide life-saving food and nutritional support to WFP wants to make sure that food insecure families will some 689,948 vulnerable Chadians across six provinces again be able to meet their essential needs by themselves in the Sahelian belt (Barh el Gazal, Batha, Guera, Kanem, after some time. The aftermath of this harsh lean season Lac, and Wadi Fira) with emergency food assistance. is the right time to support households to gradually Among them, some 86,244 people-at-risk (51,746 children become independent from assistance. As such, WFP will aged 6-23 months and 34,497 pregnant and lactating continue to pursue an approach based on geographical women) will receive specialized nutritious foods and convergence, leveraging the potential of bringing social behaviour change measures on key nutrition and together school meals, nutrition, food-for-assets, water health family practices to prevent malnutrition. Screening and sanitation and livelihoods activities. IN A NUTSHELL A TURNING POINT An effective humanitarian response is critical to curb the endemic food and nutritional crisis in Chad. This will prevent vulnerable people from resorting to survival strategies that are harmful for their health and that will most probably undermine their fragile livelihoods. In spite of continuous fundraising efforts, WFP has only been able to mobilize 25% of the required USD 53 million needed to assist food insecure Chadian families during the lean season and to deliver nutritional assistance. With available funding, WFP will only be PEOPLE IN NEED able to assist 535,000 people with half rations (1,050 kcal/person/ day) for three months. This size of FOOD INSECURE IN CRISIS/EMERGENCY ration is not enough to cover their essential eating needs. As additional 5.1 m 1.7 m resources are confirmed, it is WFP’s priority to include the remaining 155,000 people in the planned lean WFP’S RESPONSE season caseload. FOOD ASSISTANCE NUTRITION SUPPORT As per mobilized resources to date, nutritional assistance during the lean season would reach 27,666 690,000 86,000 people (19,416 children between 6 to 23 months and 8 250 PLW) over three months. This only represents RESOURCE OUTLOOK 32% of the planned beneficiaries and WFP would not be able to cover NEEDS GAPS the needs of 56,578 people-at-risk $ 53m $ 39.9m (32,330 children / 26,247 PLW). LEAN SEASON IN CHAD PRIORITIZATION WFP has a targeting plan, that will gradually increase WFP to purchase and transport commodities to affected assistance throughout the Sahel, as additional resources departments and/or to work with traders. WFP races become available. Moreover, WFP assesses which are the against time to preposition food in the Eastern part of the most suitable modalities in each department in provinces country by early June, as rain will impede access. targeted bases on markets survey conducted in March Given the political transition and instability in Chad, it 2021. Where markets are provisioned and functioning, is imperative that the lean season response addresses beneficiaries will receive cash-based transfers the needs of the most vulnerable people to halt further Timely confirmation of contributions is critical to allow deterioration of the food security and nutritional situation. CONSEQUENCES Failing to provide an adequate response could result in: A deterioration of the nutritional situation: A deterioration of the overall food security situation: • This would particularly affect children aged 6-23 months and pregnant and lactating women. • As the situation unfolds, more people could fall in IPC phases 3 (crisis) and 4 (emergency) or slide from IPC • In the worst case, this could lead to an increase in the phase 3 to 4. WFP does not foresee deterioration in number of malnutrition related deaths. IPC phase 5 (famine). Others: • Vulnerable people could resort to coping strategies • Increased migration to other provinces in Chad and/ that are harmful for their health (reduction of number or abroad, to escape the food and nutritional crisis. and quality of meals) and that will most probably undermine their fragile livelihoods, such as selling • A further worsening of the food and nutritional productive assets. situation could impact the political and security situation. • If people resort to negative coping strategies, agricultural and livestock activities could be affected, • School enrolment and attendance could also be resulting in a poor preparation for the next agricultural negatively affected, if households are unable to pay campaign and in loss of livestock. for basic fees and equipment and if children drop-out to support productive activities. .

  • The Disappearance of Lake Chad: History of a Myth
    The disappearance of Lake Chad: history of a myth Géraud Magrin1 Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, France Abstract The article explores the hydropolitics of Lake Chad. Scientific and popular views on the fate of Lake Chad differ widely. The supposed 'disappearance' of the Lake through water abstraction and climate change is a popular myth that endures because it serves a large set of heterogeneous interests, including those supporting inter-basin water transfers. Meanwhile scientific investigations show substantial and continuing Lake level fluctuations over time, and do not support its projected disappearance. The task is to understand how the myth of the disappearing Lake has been engendered and used, by studying the discourses and the strategies of the main stakeholders involved. The Lake has been protected so far from massive water abstraction, and inter-basin transfer projects, due to the fragmentation of its political management, new security threats, and the piecemeal nature of the interests in play. Key words: Lake Chad; environmental myths; hydropolitics; political ecology; inter-basin transfers Résumé Cet article aborde le lac Tchad d’un point de vue hydropolitique. Les discours scientifique et du grand public sur l'état du lac Tchad diffèrent largement. La « disparition » supposée du lac sous l’effet des prélèvements anthropiques pour l’irrigation et du changement climatique est un mythe qui perdure car il sert un ensemble d'intérêts hétérogènes, dont ceux favorables à un projet de transfert d'eau inter-bassins. Or les recherches scientifiques montrent que le lac a toujours fluctué au cours du temps, et que les dynamiques récentes ne conduisent pas à sa disparition, si souvent annoncée.

Chad's national poverty reduction strategy paper (PRSP) has progressed considerably when compared to the interim poverty reduction strategy paper (I-PRSP) that was presented to the Executive Directors ofthe IDA and IMF in July 2000. This progress is built, inter alia, upon: (i)issues highlighted by the PRSP consultations, including a sharper focus on participatory approaches for implementation ofthe PRSP; (ii)the urgent need to plan for the transparent use of petroleum resources; and (iii)the desire to reinforce partnerships with donors. The PRSP was finalized at a time when the Chad-Cameroon oil pipeline was almost complete, and the first petroleum exports are now expected in October 2003. The PRSP rightly emphasizes this unprecedented developmental opportunity, with a particular focus on using oil resources to promote growth and reduce poverty.

  • Chad Food Security Outlook October 2016 Through May 2017
    CHAD Food Security Outlook October 2016 through May 2017 This year’s good rains improve the food security situation in Chad KEY MESSAGES Current food security outcomes for October 2016 A long growing season occurred this year, with the first rains falling a month earlier than usual, in April in the Sudanian zone and in May in Sahelian areas. There were above-average cumulative rainfall totals and a good distribution of rainfall in nearly all agropastoral areas. Cereal production is expected to be better than last year (by 16 percent) and above the five-year average (by 13 percent). The current availability of fresh crops from ongoing harvests, wild vegetables, and other wild plant foods and the availability of milk in certain localized areas have improved the food security situation in all parts of the country (except for the Lake Chad area due to the conflict). Households will have more diversified sources of food between October 2016 and January 2017 and there will be Minimal (IPC Phase 1) acute food insecurity in all parts of the country with the exception of the Lake Chad area.

The impact of oil exploitation on wellbeing in Chad Abstract This study assesses the impact of oil revenues on wellbeing in Chad. Data used come from the two last Chad Household Consumption and Informal Sector Surveys ECOSIT 2 & 3 conducted in 2003 and 2011 by the National Institute of Statistics and Demographic Studies. A synthetic index of multidimensional wellbeing (MDW) is first estimated using a multiple components analysis based on a large set of welfare indicators. The Difference-in-Difference approach is then employed to assess the impact of oil revenues on the average MDW at departmental level. Results show that departments receiving intense oil transfers increased their MDW about 35% more than those disadvantaged by the oil revenues redistribution policy. Also, the farther a department is from the capital city N’Djamena, the lower its average MDW. Economic inclusion may be better promoted in Chad if oil revenues fit local development needs and are effectively directed to the poorest departments.

Water levels have stabilized over the past two decades. However, the area is subject to high variability in timing and magnitude of rainfall and temperature affecting Figure 1.
