Background
The Lake Chad region, encompassing parts of Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon, has been plagued by a complex and protracted conflict with devastating humanitarian consequences. Despite some positive developments, like massive security concentration and aid supplies in the region, armed groups continue to spread their reign of terror, leaving a staggering 11 million people in dire need of assistance after nearly 13 years of conflict. The number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) has reached 2.9 million, with 2 million of them concentrated in Nigeria
alone, based on data from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This bloodsucking catastrophe has been exacerbated by climate change, political instability, economic challenges, and armed conflicts, resulting in immense human suffering and a volatile security
landscape.
