A comprehensive approach to address malnutrition in Chad

Food insecurity in Chad is a major concern, exacerbated by various factors such as population displacement, climate change and the country's economic situation. The food and nutrition crises in 2022 and 2024 further worsened the situation of vulnerable populations, particularly children and pregnant and breastfeeding women. In 2025, 5.7 million people are suffering from food insecurity, including 3.6 million from severe food insecurity. This serious nutritional situation, which has persisted for many years, is exacerbated by a succession of recurring crises: floods, irregular rainfall, and armed or inter-community conflicts leading to significant population movements. In addition, recent cuts in US and European government aid have affected the assistance provided by the WFP during the lean season, which has been significantly reduced from 1 million people assisted in 2024 to 118,000 in 2025.
