Project Document International Union for Conservation of Nature Country: Chad PROJECT DOCUMENT Final version Restoring ecological corridors in the Mayo-Kebbi Ouest, Chad, to support multiple land and forests benefits - RECONNECT Brief Description of the project The proposed GEF-funded project “Restoring ecological corridors in the Mayo-Kebbi Ouest, Chad, to support multiple land and forests benefits (RECONNECT)” will be implemented by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).This project will support the adoption of best-practices in forestry and the management of agro-sylvo-pastoral systems in the Mayo-Kebbi Ouest Region (MKO) of Chad. The MKO is one of the two most densely inhabited regions of the country. Most of its primarily rural population lives below the poverty line and relies on farming and livestock for their survival and livelihoods. The natural environment of the MKO is continuing to be negatively affected by a combination of natural factors and human practices, including overexploitation. This has resulted in significant increases in the loss, degradation and fragmentation of natural forest areas. Current land use practices are some of the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the MKO. In addition, unsustainable practices have contributed to a decrease in the productivity of land and the disappearance of large mammals over much of the area. These natural factors and the evolving socio-ecological context in the MKO are resulting in increased competition and confrontations over the region’s natural resources. The proposed project aims to improve sustainability and expand positive impacts of natural resource management techniques by providing existing local structures and systems the skills, knowledge and means to operate and establish or strengthen best-practices in the management of the MKO’s natural forested areas and agro-sylvo-pastoral systems. The project is structured to align with and reinforce the practices for local governance of natural resources implemented by the Government of Chad in partnership with GIZ and the European Union. This project is highly consistent with the Government of Chad’s national priorities, plans, and policies and is consistent with GEF-6 focal area strategies for land degradation (LD), climate change mitigation (CCM) and sustainable forest management (SFM). Given the high proportion of the population of the MKO that is dependent on local natural resources for their livelihoods and other ecological services, the project will engage the diverse set of social groups in the MKO to address these trends and adopt more sustainable natural resources management systems. Adopting best- practices in forestry (including soil and forest restoration) and the management of agro-sylvo-pastoral systems will provide an important means for the MKO and Chad more broadly to maintain and increase their carbon stocks, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon sequestration. It will also offer additional co-benefits by minimizing the negative environmental impacts of these systems. 1 List of Acronyms BMZ Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, Germany CCD Comité Cantonal de Développement / Canton Development Committee CBD Convention on Biological Diversity CTD Collectivité Territoriale Décentralisée / Local territorial community CVS Comité Villageois de Surveillance / Safeguard Village Committee ESIA Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ESMP Environmental and Social Management Plan ESMS Environmental and Social Management System EU European Union EX-ACT Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool – FAO FAO Food and Agriculture Organization FPIC Free prior informed consent GEF Global Environment Facility GGO IUCN’s Global Gender Office Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit / German GIZ technical cooperation IFC International Finance Corporation Instances Locales d’Orientation et de Décision / Local Decision and ILOD Orientation Authorities IUCN International Union for Conservation of Nature JICA Japan International Cooperation KfW Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau / German financial cooperation MKO Mayo-Kebbi Region Ministère de l’Environnement et des Pêches / Ministry of the Environment MEP and Fisheries Resources NGO Non-governmental organization PAAS Project Appraisal and Approval System Programme d’Appui au Développement Local et à la Gestion des PADL-GRN Ressources Naturelles / Support to Local Development and Natural Resource Management Projet « Aires Protégées Résilientes au Changement Climatique » / PARCC « Protected Areas Resilient to Climate Change » Project Projet Conservation et Gestion des Ressources Naturelles / Natural PCGRN resource conservation and management project 2 PCMS Project Complaints Management System PDL Plan de Développement Local / Local Development Plan PFO Point Focal Opérationnel / Operationnal Focal Point PGS Project Guidelines and Standards PIF Project Identification Form PPG Projet Preparation Grant Projet de Renforcement de la Résilience et de la Cohabitation Pacifique PRCPT au Tchad / Strengthening resilience and peaceful cohabitation in Chad Programme de Développement Rural Décentralisé du Mayo Dallah, du PRODALKA Lac Léré et de la Kabbia / Decentralized rural development in Mayo Dallah, Léré Lake and Kabbia Region PRODOC Project Document Resilience Adaptation Pathways and Transformation Assessment RAPTA Framework RBA Rights-based approach SABV Schéma d’Aménagement de Bassin Versant / River Basin Master Plan SAT Schéma d’Aménagement de Territoire / Land Planning Document Schéma Directeur de la Décentralisation / Decentralization Planning SSD Document STAP Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel ToR Terms of references UNEP United Nations Environment Programme UNFCCC United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 3 Restoring ecological corridors in the Mayo-Kebbi Ouest, Chad, to support multiple land and forests benefits -

  • 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.

    worki! ownng pap er 2017-06 Universite Laval The impact of oil exploitation on wellbeing in Chad Gadom Djal Gadom Armand Mboutchouang Kountchou Gbetoton Nadège Adèle Djossou Gilles Quentin Kane Abdelkrim Araar February 2017 i The impact of oil exploitation on wellbeing in Chad Abstract This study assesses the impact of oil revenues on wellbeing in Chad using data from the two last Chad Household Consumption and Informal Sector Surveys (ECOSIT 2 & 3), conducted in 2003 and 2011, respectively, by the National Institute of Statistics for Economics and Demographic Studies (INSEED) and, from the College for Control and monitoring of Oil Revenues (CCSRP). To achieve the research objective, we first estimate a synthetic index of multidimensional wellbeing (MDW) based on a large set of welfare indicators. Then, the Difference-in-Difference (DID) approach is used to assess the impact of oil revenues on the average MDW at departmental level. We find evidence that departments receiving intense oil transfers increased their MDW about 35% more than those disadvantaged by the oil revenues redistribution policy. Moreover, the further a department is from the capital city N’Djamena, the lower its average MDW. We conclude that to better promote economic inclusion in Chad, the government should implement a specific policy to better direct the oil revenue investment in the poorest departments.

Received 11 September, 2016; Accepted 21 October, 2016 The Central-African country of Chad, located in the Sahel-Sahara zone, faces diverse shortages of portable water. The only reliable source of water available for drinking, domestic and agricultural use in the Dababa Division is groundwater. Conventional hydro-geochemical and isotopic methodology, coupled with piezometric data, allowed investigators to identify the numerous process affecting not only water quality, but also aided them to assess its suitability for different uses. The types of groundwater encountered indicated the presence of Ca-Mg-HCO3, Na-HCO3, Cl-SO4 and Na-Ca-SO4 in descending order of abundance. The data presented in this investigation shows three processes influenced the groundwater quality; these are the alteration of silicate minerals by dissolved CO2, the cationic exchange and the evaporation phenomenon, in particular, in the piezometric depression. Additionally, to these findings, this article discussed the anthropogenic processes involved, whose effects are evident in many samples with nitrate concentrations above the WHO standards.

  • CHAD Food Security Outlook Update February 2015 Atypical Sharp Rise in Maize Prices in the Lake Chad Region Affecting Poor Households
    CHAD Food Security Outlook Update February 2015 Atypical sharp rise in maize prices in the Lake Chad Region affecting poor households KEY MESSAGES Most likely estimated food security outcomes for February – March 2015 Harvests of off-season crops (flood-recession sorghum and market garden crops) are just getting underway in Sila, Guera, Batha, Mayo Kebbi, Chari Baguirmi, and Moyen Chari. These crops are bolstering the food stocks of very poor and poor households in areas with below-average rainfed crop production for 2014. Market supply is at average levels, but cereal prices in Sarh, Moundou, and Kélo are approximately 30 percent above average. In the Sahelian zone, price are also above average in N’Djamena, Abéché, and Bol, with the steepest increase is in the price of maize in Bol (81 percent). Livestock exports have been particularly limited by ongoing insecurity in Nigeria. In Kanem, Bahr el-Ghazel, Guera, and Sila, poor and very poor households’ cereal food stocks are low, limiting their food consumption. As a result, these households will face Source: FEWS NET Stressed (IPC Phase 2) acute food insecurity outcomes in Most likely estimated food security outcomes for February and March. Without assistance, poor households April – June 2015 in Lake Chad region would likely be at least one phase worse. The atypical rise in staple food prices triggered by the large presence of refugees and returnees from Nigeria will make poor households in the Lake Chad area incapable of protecting their livelihoods and barely enable them to meet their food needs, creating Stressed (IPC Phase 2!) food security conditions for this group of households.
