Chad

Chad is facing multiple crises. The western Lac province, covered by Project 21 since 2021, is deeply affected by the Lake Chad Basin conflict, causing severe protection risks for Nigerian refugees, internally displaced Chadians, and host communities. Since April 2023, Project 21 also monitors the situation of Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad and, since October 2023, has started expanding its coverage to the southern provinces.
