2016 Plan Summary
The protection environment in Chad is fragile. Insecurity in neighbouring States often affects the country’s ability to provide safety for people in need of international protection. The protracted refugee situation in Chad continues to put pressure on local communities. The prospects for repatriation are limited for Central African, Nigerian and Sudanese refugees, and resettlement opportunities are finite.
In keeping with UNHCR’s policy on alternatives to camps, the overall goal of the Office is to enable people of concern to pursue normal lives and reduce their dependency on aid. In the meantime, refugees are able to access public education and health services. The focus in 2016 will be on: supporting self-reliance and livelihood opportunities; assuring refugees’ freedom of movement and stay within Chad; and strengthening the capacity of public education and health services and infrastructure.
The critical areas of 2016 financial requirements are: livelihoods/self-reliance support; child protection, education and awareness and prevention of SGBV; issuance of birth certificates; and health and nutrition. For the past two years, the food basket distributed to refugees has covered less than 60 per cent of the standard nutritional intake. This situation will be at risk of further deterioration unless financial resources are made available to pursue complementary alternatives to food aid, consistent with UNHCR’s self-reliance objectives.
