EXECUTIVE PROGRAMME SUMMARY 1. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)proposes to support a bridging population programmein the amountof $3.5 million, of which $23 million wouldbe programmedfrom UNFPA’sregular resources, over a two-yearperiod, starting January 1994, to assist the Governmentof Chadin achieving its population and developmentobjectives. UNFPAwould seek to provide the balance of $1.2 million from a combinationof UNFPAregular resources and other resources, including multi-bilateral resources, whenand to the extent such additional resources becomeavailable. This wouldbe UNFPA’ssecond cycle of assistance in Chad. 2. The proposedbridging programmeis based on: (a) the objectives and strategies of Chad’sNew Policy for Health Development;(b) the country’s draft Population Policy Declaration; (c) the findings recommendationsof the ProgrammeReview and Strategy Development(PRSD) mission that visited Chad June 1993; (d) the experience gained from UNFPA’sfirst programmeof assistance; and (e) consultations discussions with senior officials of concernedministries, as well as with representatives of UNDP,UNICEF, the World Bank, WHOand concerned non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This bridging programme wouldenable UNFPAto synchronizeits programmingcycle with those of its partner organizations in the Joint Consultative Groupon Policy (JCGP). 3. Theprogramme’s long-term objective is to help improvethe socio-economicconditions of the Chadian population by gradually bringing the population growthrate in line with available resources. The two main immediate objectives of the programmeare to help: (a) reduce the high levels of maternal and child morbidityand mortality, primarily by improvingand extendingfamily planningservices; and Co)create national awareness, using culturally sensitive information, education and communication(IEC) activities, about the linkages between population, women’ssocio-economic status, environmental issues and the development process. 4. Accordingto preliminary estimates of the 1993 census, the population of Chadis 6.3 million, an increase of 40 per cent since 1980. If the annualgrowth rate of 2.36 per cent is sustained, the populationwill doublein 29 years. Thetotal fertility rate of 5.9 is quite high but is somewhatlower than that in neighbouring countries, perhapsbecause of the widespreadprevalence of infertility. Infant and maternalmortality rates are also very high, 122per 1,000and 860 per 100,000live births, respectively, and life expectancyat birth is only 47.5 years. Chadis also one of the poorest countries in the world, with an average gross national product (GNP)of $210 in 1991. This has been exacerbatedby two decades of political instability and domesticstrife. 5. Family planning is in the early stages in Chad. It is estimated that the moderncontraceptive prevalence rate (CPR)is only 1.2 per cent. However,the large and increasing numberof abortions (which are illegal in the country) showsthat there is a great unmetneed for reliable contraception. TheGovernment indicated its understandingof this problemwhen it adopted its NewPolicy for Health Developmentin 1988, whichsets a target of increasing the CPRto 10 per cent by the year 2000and whichaims to integrate family planning (FP) services into the maternal and child health (MCH)programme nationwide. 6. UNFPA’sassistance to Chad began in 1986; $3.5 million was spent during the first country programme,which covered the period 1989-1993.The main results were the developmentof MCH/FPservices in the large cities in the three prefectures wherethe Fundconcentrated its activities; the training of about30 health personnel in family planning in the same three prefectures; the drafting of a Population Policy Declaration; and assistance with the country’s first population census in 1993. Theseefforts were hampered by political turmoil and the ongoingstate of war, by the lack of awarenessof populationissues by the country’s leaders, and by the meagernessof other external assistance for populationactivities. 7. In the past, UNFPAwas by far the larg6st international funder of family planningactivities in Chad. Other multilateral and bilateral agencies have provided assistance to related areas, such as building or °.. DP/FPA/CP/135 English Page 4 repairing the health care infrastructure and conductingthe census, but until nowthere has been almost no fundingfor specific family planningactivities. Recently, however,the WorldBank has proposeda "Population and Health" project that wouldprovide $20 million over the period 1994-1998. 8. The PRSDmission estimated that Chadwould require a total of $20.8 million in population assistance for the period 1994-2000. This is far beyond UNFPA’sresources. The proposed bridging programme, therefore, has limited short-term aims. The most important of these, and the one to which most resources would be directed, is to continue MCH/F~and Safe Motherhoodactivities in the capitals of the three prefectures in whichUNFPA has been operating, to expandthese activities to smaller centres in these three prefectures, and to start activities in three newprefectures. Familylife educationactivities that have been started on a pilot basis wouldbe expandedmodestly. A major objective wouldbe to collect moredata on current family planning practices and to arrive at an accurate estimate .of the country’s contraceptive

  • Monthly Food Security Report for Chad: November 25, 2002 SUMMARY
    Monthly food security report for Chad: November 25, 2002 SUMMARY Kanem, Lac and Western Logone Prefectures are having chronic grain deficits at harvest time. The outlook for Kanem (Moussoro, Mao and Nokou) and Western Logone is even bleaker, and the risk of a famine is inescapable unless appropriate measures are taken between now and the end of the first quarter of 2003. Lac, Eastern Logone and Middle Chari are moderately food insecure, with shortfalls of 68 kg, 51 kg and 48 kg, respectively, per household member and will also require some type of intervention to get through this year's lean period. Mayo-Kebbi and Tandjilé are showing small deficits (4 to 5 kg per capita) which could be offset by non-grain production (legumes, tubers and income from cotton and groundnut crops). Most gauging stations show rainfall deficits for the 2002-03 season. Grain production is projected at 1,123,460 MT, which 15 percent less than last year's figure and 4 percent below the average annual production figure of the five-year period from 1997 to 2001. According to the grain balance sheet, per capita annual grain availability is 132 kg, which does not meet the country's grain requirement of 159 kg, according to the official consumption standard for Chad. Millet prices are falling in Eastern Logone and Middle Chari, but grain flows into Western Logone are in danger of being cut off as a result of the brewing war between Chad and the Central African Republic. The rise in millet prices on the two main markets in the country's Sahelian zone reflects an unmet demand.

    Chad 1997/98 Current Vulnerability Assessment February 1998 Famine Early Warning System Project U.S. Agency for International Development 1 Chad 1997/98 Current Vulnerability Assessment Slightly better than average agricultural production has improved food security conditions that have been slowly deteriorating since the bumper crop of 1994/95 SUMMARY The 1997 rainy season was characterized by poor spatial and temporal distribution of rains at the beginning of the season, good rains through July and August, and a long dry spell in September that led to a premature end of the growing season throughout the northern Sahel. Preliminary production assessments estimated Highly Food Insecure Populations 1997/98 gross national cereal in Chad in 1997/98 production at 993,320 MT. This is 13 percent higher than in 1996/97 and approximately 9 percent higher than the 1992/93-1996/97 average, but about 15 percent below the bumper crop of 1994/95. Given estimated cereal consumption needs for the 1997/98 consumption year of 1,132,604 MT, net stocks of 7,809 MT, and projected imports of 73,000 MT, this leaves a national cereal deficit of 240,432 MT. This is an improvement over 1996/97 when the deficit was 288,372 MT. In the Sudanian zone, in addition to increases in food crop production, cotton production has increased by 40 percent, which will result in a significant improvement in farmers’ incomes. However, in the Sahelian zone the shortened growing season reduced millet production in many rainfed agricultural areas in parts of Batha, Ouaddaï, Biltine, and Kanem Figure 1 Prefectures.

  • Chad Food Security Update: September 25, 2000 Summary 1. Agro-Meteorological Conditions
    Chad Food Security Update: September 25, 2000 Summary August is considered the highest rainfall month of the season in Chad. During the first two dekads (10-day periods), rainfall was good in most parts of the country. During the third dekad, rains were below normal and poorly distributed in time and space, especially in the eastern part of the country, and northwestern Batha and northern Kanem Prefectures. In the first dekad of September, fairly regular rains fell in the southern Sudanian zone. In the Sahelian zone, however, the rainfall deficit recorded in the third dekad of August extended to the first dekad of September. Satellite imagery corroborates these weather station observations. The stage of crop development varies from region to region. As of the first dekad of September, crops were generally doing well in the Sudanian zone, with the exception of some light wilting in some locations. Light to moderate wilting was reported in part of the Sahelian zone. Pests were not much of a problem in the Sudanian zone, although crop damage by Spanish flies and grasshoppers was reported in some areas of Ouaddaï, Batha and Chari-Barguimi Prefectures in the Sahelian zone. Regular monitoring of crop wilting and pest infestations is strongly recommended through the end of September. Animal health and the pastures are generally good. Food security conditions are satisfactory in last year's good production areas. However, in moderately food insecure zones targeted by the World Food Program (WFP) and the Agricultural Services Directorate, the situation is gradually improving as a result of free food distributions by WFP.
