Reversing the degradation trend in the oases of Borkou, Ennedi West and Wadi Fira through strengthening adaptation measures and improving resilience to climate change of vulnerable communities - Chad
Most of Chad's oases are located in the northern region, where a variety of socio-economic activities linked to agriculture, livestock breeding, pastoralism and market gardening are practiced. Unfortunately, these oases are severely affected by drought, which causes water shortages, declining soil fertility and food
insecurity. Women are the most affected category among the communities living in these areas.
The overall objective of the project is to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities in Borkou, Ennedi West and Wadi Fira by building adaptive capacity to recurrent drought risks and promoting the sustainable management of oases and associated ecosystems.
The specific objectives of the project are:
- Developing and strengthening the monitoring, legal and institutional framework to support the sustainable management of oasis ecosystems and the adaptation of vulnerable communities.
- Implementing concrete adaptation actions to improve the resilience of the most vulnerable communities in the project area.
- Strengthening the institutional and technical capacities, knowledge sharing and awareness raising of all stakeholders.
