Sida's work in Chad
Providing people with food and clean water is at the centre of Sida's humanitarian work in Chad. People are severely affected by several complex crises and conflicts, as well as recurrent climate-related natural disasters.
Sida's work in Chad
Chad is a country marked by long conflicts in neighbouring countries and severe effects of climate change, mainly desertification and a dramatic reduction of Lake Chad. Millions of people need humanitarian assistance due to conflicts, forced displacement, food and nutritional shortages, disease outbreaks and climate-related disasters.
Providing people with food, water and sanitation is central to Sida’s humanitarian work in Chad.
Sida’s humanitarian support provides people with, for example, access to clean water, food and healthcare. Sida works with international humanitarian and civil society organisations and prioritises the people most in need of support.
Sida’s humanitarian support saves lives and alleviates suffering.

Chad does not have a Swedish country strategy for development cooperation as it is not one of the countries prioritised for development cooperation by the Swedish government. However, Sida implements a small amount of development cooperation through regional or global strategies.
