Field Operation

Chad

Chad hosts people fleeing violence linked to insecurity and multiple attacks carried out in neighbouring countries including Cameroon, Nigeria and Niger in its western part, Sudan to the east, and the Central African Republic to the south. For about a decade, the country has also experienced internal displacement due to the persistence of incursions and attacks by non-state armed groups  in the Lake Chad Basin and its surroundings. Despite humanitarian interventions, the large presence of displaced populations leads to great pressure on resources, which threatens social cohesion and peaceful coexistence.

The Protection Cluster in Chad works to ensure the coordination of protection interventions in emergencies and to respond to the protection needs of persons affected by conflict and disasters. It is composed of the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Area of Responsibility (AoR), and the Child Protection (CP) Area of Responsibility (AoR). The Protection Cluster is led by the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and co-coordinated by the International Rescue Committee (IRC).
