UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
Chad continues to face a combination of rapid-onset and protracted humanitarian crises that have been exacerbated by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The humanitarian needs overview reveals that 6.1 million people will be in need of humanitarian assistance in 2022, a 17% increase compared to 2021. This persistent humanitarian situation is related to the growing insecurity in some parts of the country and in neighbouring countries, natural disasters, growing food insecurity, high rates of malnutrition, economic crisis, and political instability in a context of climate challenges. Humanitarian access remain limited in the north provinces and in Lake Chad basin, particularly in the island areas and the border area between Nigeria, Niger and Chad.
Against a national poverty rate of 43.2% and low social protection coverage, child poverty and social exclusion remain pervasive.
UNICEF in partnership with national and international development and humanitarian actors, supports the Chadian Government in developing programmes and policies to promote and respect children’s rights to survival, education and protection.
To this end, UNICEF Chad has 4 zonal offices and a central office that ensure regular implementation and monitoring of the cooperation programme. Through its offices, UNICEF ensures proximity to populations in need and fosters accountability to these populations.
