Overview

Chad is grappling with security challenges associated with conflicts in bordering countries as well as the impacts of climate change, in particular accelerated desertification and the drying up of Lake Chad.

Due to the Sudanese crisis and the continuous arrival of new refugees and returnees, the Chadian government estimates that nearly 900,000 people could arrive in Chad by the end of 2024. Chad was already hosting around 450,000 refugees from Sudan, the Central African Republic, and Nigeria.

Poverty and vulnerability are widespread in Chad, with 44.8% of the population living below the national poverty line in 2022.
