Education Specialist Chad N’Djamena

[ad_1]

Country: Chad
Organization: Norwegian Refugee Council
Closing date: 16 Mar 2025

Context

In April 2023, a vast scale conflict broke out in Sudan, causing massive movement in all neighboring countries. The total number of refugees has exceeded one million people and Chad has so far hosted more than 500,000 Sudanese refugees and 100,000 Chadian returnees, or around 20% of the total displaced population. From the start, the population fleeing the war has found a first security along the border areas with Darfur, then was gradually relocated to refugee camps in the three Eastern provinces. Of the 43% relocated population, 64% were transferred to the camps in Ouaddaï, 28% to Wadi Fira and 8% in Sila. The vast majority of the remaining population is currently in informal sites in Adré (Ouaddaï), while waiting to be relocated to the new camps.

Given the context, NRC has undertaken evaluations in July 2023 and has registered in October 2023. Since then, the organization has developed, in a dense ecosystem (many agencies UN, ONGI and national NGOs have been present as well as organizations managed by refugees with which NRC wishes to engage more actively) and in a limited financial environment.

NRC intends to contribute to the response both emergency and social and economic resilience by providing support to the refugee population relocated to the Ouaddai camps, notably Metche, Alacha and Arkoum as well as the population of neighboring villages.
