The Lake Chad Climate resilience action
plan outlines the concept that there is a need to turn Lake
Chad into a rural hub for regional development in parallel
to the restoration of peace and security. The Plan intends
to contribute significantly to food security, employment,
and the social inclusion of the youth by improving, in a
sustainable way, the living conditions of populations
settled on the Lake’s banks and islands as well as the
resilience of a system characterized by a strong demographic
growth, high hydrological variability, and climate
uncertainty. To achieve it, the Action Plan proposes actions
in seven Priority Themes based on observations and knowledge
currently available. The four riparian States plus the
Central African Republic and Libya, local powers (local
governments or customary authorities), Lake Chad Basin
Commission (LCBC), and the civil society will be responsible
for implementing the proposed actions. The Plan includes
enhancing the capacity of LCBC in terms of data collection,
sharing of information, and carrying out analyses useful to
governance of the basin`s shared natural resources. The
success of this Plan requires continuing on-going efforts to
strengthen the LCBC. The tentatively estimated cost of the
Lake Chad Action Plan is about 916 million Euros.
