Titre : PADEP – Project to support the development of pastoralists in the Ennedi Wadifira area in eastern Chad (PASTOR Programme)

Pays : Tchad

Dates : 20.11.2018 – 19.12.2022

Contexte
All of Chad, and particularly its Sahel region, is facing recurrent climatic and environmental shocks (floods, drought, sandstorms, etc.) that increase the vulnerability of its population. Vulnerability to such events is all the more worrying as existing administrative and development support structures (ministries, government agencies and local authorities CRA, CDA and CLA) lack the human and financial resources, technical capacities and means of action to respond to them. These shocks lead to a significant decrease in natural resources (water, fodder) and significant livestock mortality. In addition, demographic pressure is increasing competition over the use of resources and gradually weakening people’s living conditions. Pastoralism is of particular importance in the local economy, household food security, but also in the lifestyles of pastoralists. This insecurity therefore weakens household livelihoods and creates conflicts in some areas.

Objectifs
Overall : Contribute to the promotion of a concerted and sustainable use of pastoral resources in Chad by taking into account the needs of local populations, strengthening their resilience to climate change in pastoral and agro-pastoral areas, creating jobs, especially for youth, and thus reducing their poverty.

Specific : To support men, women and young pastoralists and agropastoralists in the administration and sustainable management of agro-pastoral resources in the eastern border areas (Ennedi / Wadi-Fira) of Chad.
