The Lake Chad Basin region is home to one of the world’s biggest compounding crises. Climate change, disasters, violent extremism, intercommunal conflicts and displacement form a ‘perfect storm’ of interlinked issues. Communities suffer layered losses, exacerbating all nature of vulnerabilities. These issues cannot be treated distinctly. Coordinated interventions are needed that are informed by the interlinkages, include all relevant actors and focus on long-term resilience planning.
