CERF Allocation

Chad

Flood, 30 Sep 2024

Overview of the humanitarian situation

Chad faces a complex humanitarian crisis involving food insecurity, malnutrition, health emergencies, forced displacement, and climate-related shocks. Against this backdrop, floods in Chad have severely impacted 1.5 million people across the country, leading to 341 fatalities, and destroying over 164,000 homes, 259,000 hectares of farmland, and over 66,000 livestock, leaving around 1.2 million people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Flooding has also disrupted schooling, affecting 2,721 schools in seven of eight educational regions.

CERF-funded assistance

In response to the crisis, the Emergency Relief Coordinator allocated $8 from CERF’s Rapid Response window for the immediate commencement of life-saving activities. This funding enables UN agencies and partners to provide emergency, life-saving assistance to approximately 500,000 people in the Campo Coordination and Camp Management, Food Security, Protection (including Child Protection and GBV), Shelter and NFI, and WASH sectors. Beyond providing immediate life-saving assistance to people affected by the floods in priority areas with pre-existing vulnerabilities such as food insecurity and cholera, the allocation supports advocating for preventive and sustainable flood solutions, strengthens cooperation with the government, and aims to be catalytic in mobilizing additional resources and encouraging other funding to address the magnitude of the flood crisis and other regional vulnerabilities.
