Chad
In spite of its natural resources, Chad is one of the least developed countries in the world. Poor governance leads to lapses in transparency and political crises have limited citizen participation in decision-making. We work with security forces, civil society organizations, and journalists to improve dialogue, comprehension, and collaboration between authorities and communities.

GREATER LAKE CHAD STRATEGY 2021–2031
As part of Search for Common Ground’s (Search) organization – wide strategy, the Greater Lake Chad (GLC) region was identified as one of twelve transnational conflict geographies in which Search will focus its efforts over the coming ten years. This summary lays out Search’s comprehensive strategy for the GLC region, composed of the countries bordering the Lake Chad Basin, including Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon. The multidimensional and transborder dimensions of conflict in the region demand a holistic, regional programmatic, and operational strategy.
