IOM Chad is actively working on creating space to implement transitional programs across various emergency situations in the country. The Country Office is sharpening its focus on the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. Specifically, IOM Chad works in support of displaced communities in remote and border regions to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance and to support the Government of Chad in identifying opportunities to address short-term displacement while progressively resolving protracted displacement situations. To this end, IOM is increasingly orienting its programming towards community stabilization, peacebuilding, and integrated holistic community development, particularly along the borders with Libya, the Central African Republic, and in the Lake Chad Basin area in order to address displacement drivers and ensure an integrated response. In parallel, IOM continues to develop its response to short-term displacement situations, notably due to natural hazard, through lifesaving assistance as well as mitigation and disaster risk reduction activities. IOM's initiatives aim to not only respond to lifesaving needs but also enable beneficiaries, communities and authorities to proactively and sustainably plan, design and participate in programmes to allow a seamless transition and limit dependence on humanitarian aid.
