EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Landlocked and situated between Sudan’s Darfur region, the Central African Republic, Niger, and the Sahara desert, Chad hosts over half a million people who are heavily reliant on humanitarian aid for their survival. In the present climate of political uncertainty, the second half of 2008 will be critical for determining whether security and stability improves or worsens. Stability is an essential condition for the Government and humanitarian actors not only to continue providing life-saving assistance to those in need, but also to gradually start reversing the trend of an unceasing humanitarian crisis — a crisis that may turn into a disaster, should aid operations be interrupted for any reason. The events of February, when armed opposition groups reached the capital N’Djamena in an attempt to overthrow the Government, do not augur well. The success or failure of democratic consolidation and socio-economic recovery in Chad — today ranked 170th out of 177 countries according to UNDP’s Human Development Index (behind DR Congo and well behind Sudan) — will have major implications for peace in a region that is today one of the world’s most fragile. Humanitarians hope that Chad, Darfur, and the Central African Republic may manage to gradually leave behind a persistent and intertwined socio-political crisis with grave humanitarian consequences. Some observers fear instead that this socio-political crisis may deepen, causing more death and suffering for civilians. While the international community closely follows political developments, the emergency shows little signs of receding. Thanks to humanitarian aid, half a million people are able to survive and, to the extent possible, live a dignified life. In preparation for potential recovery, progress has also been made in promoting livelihoods and decreasing food aid dependency, improving access to drinking water and health care, and promoting human rights for the most vulnerable. Yet over the first half of 2008, due to renewed fighting inside Chad and developments in Darfur and CAR, needs have increased. Affected people need food, water, and health care. Protection is also a concern, as they are often the target of attacks by armed elements, most of which remain unpunished. Education (poorly funded in 2007) is a top priority, essential not only to improve the psycho-social well-being of children and their families, but also to sustain hopes

    United Nations Nations Unies Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs UN HUMANITARIAN CHIEF: “WE CAN SAVE LIVES IN DRC BUT CONFLICT MUST END” (Kinshasa /New York /Geneva, 9 March 2011): On the first day of her visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Valerie Amos, visited humanitarian projects in the North Kivu province, one of the worst affected by violence. Ms. Amos expressed her concern about the lack of protection for civilians, and emphasised the continuing need for humanitarian assistance. “The daily reality for many people in this province is immensely difficult. Armed men regularly attack villages, looting, raping, maiming, killing, kidnapping, and burning the villages before leaving,” Ms. Amos said. “This forces entire communities to live in a perpetual flight mode, relying on humanitarian assistance for their survival.” Since 2009, over half a million internally displaced people have returned to areas as they become more stable, but an even greater number have since been newly displaced elsewhere. Sexual violence, mostly committed by armed groups, remains a huge problem. Thousands of incidents are reported in North and South Kivu every year. “Sexual violence is only one symptom of a much deeper problem. Entire communities are being deprived of their right to a dignified life,” said Ms. Amos. Humanitarian operations are heavily affected by insecurity. In 2010, 200 incidents affecting humanitarian workers were recorded in the two provinces, compared to 179 during 2009. Over 80 per cent of these involved non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which are crucial partners of the United Nations in providing humanitarian aid.

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.

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.

  • Monthly Food Security Update for Chad: March 22, 2002
    Monthly Food Security Update for Chad: March 22, 2002 A joint report by FEWS NET and the National Nutritional Center for Nutrition and Food Technology (CNNTA) Summary In the context of food security monitoring, FEWS NET and the National Center for Nutrition and Food Technology (CNNTA) organized a small-scale anthropometric survey from February 27 through March 12 in the eastern Sahelian zone, visiting Rural Biltine, Arada, Kalait, Iriba, Guereda, Tiné and Bahai sub-prefectures. Preliminary results indicated that the rate of global acute malnutrition, calculated as a percent of the median, was less than 5 percent in about half of the survey villages (results from other villages are still expected). On the basis of these results, the overall food situation is considered good in the survey areas. Cereal availability and accessibility are good in most departments of the country. However, accessibility remains difficult for households in Borkou, Ennedi and Tibesti Departments (known as BET) in the far northern part of the country that do not produce cereals. These departments get their food supplies from neighboring Biltine and Ouaddai Departments. Nonetheless, transportation to and from the BET is difficult due to the rugged condition of desert roads. Current off-season farming activities include tending market gardens and harvesting produce, and harvesting berbéré (off-season, flood-irrigated sorghum) in the berbéré producing zones of Mayo Boneye, Mayo Dalla, Dar Sila and Salamat Departments where the crop harvests are reasonably good. Irrigated wheat in the modern sector polders of Lake Chad is nearing maturity while some wheat is already being harvested in the traditional polders.

    UNITED NATIONS NATIONS UNIES Office of the Humanitarian Coordinator for Chad Humanitarian Action in Chad: Facts and Figures Snapshot Report, 18 September 2008 Refugees and related humanitarian action UNHCR activities for Sudanese refugees Background In eastern Chad, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), at the request of and in cooperation with the Chadian Government, assists nearly 250,000 Sudanese refugees from the Darfur region, hosted in twelve refugee camps. The United Nations refugee agency established its presence in eastern Chad in 2003, and operates today a head office in N’Djamena, a sub-office in Abéché, and six field offices in Bahaï, Farchana, Goz Beïda, Guereda, Iriba, Koukou, as well as one antenna office in Amleyouna, employing a total of approximately 50 international and 200 national staff. The agency has agreements with 40 implementing partners for its refugee and IDP programmes. The response programme of UNHCR for refugees is based on the principle of ensuring their safety and dignity, thereby comprising four main pillars: protection; socio-economic well-being; self- reliance through income generation and development of skills; and promotion of community-based approaches for coexistence with the host communities. Given the extremely volatile security situation in the east, which already led to the temporary relocation of staff on several occasions, the Sudanese refugee programme is carried out under very difficult conditions. Severe logistical constraints add to the agency’s challenges. Latest inflow The latest major refugee inflow occurred during the month of February 2008, when several areas of West Darfur were heavily affected by armed conflict.
