Key takeaway 3 million Sudanese refugees have found refuge in eastern Chad, this operation will help restore access to water and confidence in the future,” said Farouk Mullah Banna, World Bank Resident Representative in Chad.
Why this matters
The World Bank's investment in Chad's water security and resilience is critical given the country's vulnerability to climate shocks and forced displacement. With over 1.3 million Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad, the project's focus on improving access to essential infrastructure and services is timely. The alignment with Chad's National Development Plan reflects a strategic shift towards development and resilience, rather than just humanitarian assistance. The project's emphasis on supporting host and refugee communities, with a significant proportion of benefits accruing to women, is also noteworthy. By addressing key drivers of fragility, such as regional disparities and conflicts over natural resources, the project has the potential to contribute to greater stability and inclusion in Chad. The use of funding from the Host Communities and Refugees Window also highlights the importance of coordinated development investments in fragile contexts, where the needs of both host and refugee populations must be addressed to achieve lasting peace and resilience.
