ACTED est présente au Tchad depuis 2004 avec des interventions ciblées en matière de distribution, de protection de l’environnement et d’amélioration des infrastructures communautaires.

En 2011, ACTED au Tchad a poursuivi son objectif de soutien à la transition de l’urgence vers le développement. Ainsi, si des programmes d’urgence ont du être mis en œuvre pour répondre aux besoins des populations affectées par la crise nutritionnelle au Sahel, mais aussi à ceux de réfugiés des pays voisins, ou encore à ceux des travailleurs migrants retournés de Libye, la transition vers le développement a pu se poursuivre sur nos quatre zones d’intervention au centre, au nord, à l’est et au sud du pays, avec la mise en place de stratégies de sortie de l’urgence axées sur une transition fluide avec les institutions nationales.

En 2013 et 2014, ACTED poursuit sa stratégie visant à s’éloigner de l’urgence et de la post-urgence afin de laisser place à une phase d’accompagnement d’un développement durable. En réponse à la crise alimentaire dans la bande sahélienne, ACTED renforce ses interventions d’urgence dans les régions du Lac et du Batha afin d’assurer que les populations les plus vulnérables puissent accéder à une alimentation convenable pendant la période de soudure.

Au cours de la dernière décennie, trois crises alimentaires ont touché les zones pastorales et agro-pastorales du Niger, menant à une dégradation continue de l’économie des ménages.

Suite aux mauvaises récoltes, la situation des ménages les plus vulnérables s’est encore dégradée en fin d’année 2011. En effet, en raison de la mauvaise pluviométrie et des attaques des ennemis des cultures au cours de la saison agricole 2011, plus de la moitié des villages (soit 6981 villages regroupant plus de 6 millions de personnes) font face à un déficit céréalier, estimé sur l’ensemble du Niger à 692 000 tonnes (soit plus de 15% des besoins alimentaires du Niger). En outre, les événements survenus au Nord-Mali depuis janvier 2012 ont poussé de nombreux Maliens à se réfugier au Niger, fragilisant d’autant plus une économie déjà très dégradée, en particulier dans la région de Tillabéri.

Présente au Niger depuis la crise de 2010, ACTED a permis, en 2011, d’apporter une réponse d’urgence aux ménages les plus vulnérables par des injections de liquidités et des distributions de vivres. En parallèle, ACTED a également mené des interventions visant à améliorer la situation à moyen terme de ces mêmes ménages grâce à des sensibilisations aux techniques agro-pastorales améliorées et aux bonnes pratiques en matière de nutrition, d’alimentation, d’hygiène et de santé.

Dans ce contexte, ACTEDrépond d’urgenceà la crise alimentaire qui frappe le Sahel et apporte un soutienaux réfugiés Maliens et retournés Nigériens à travers l’aménagement et la gestion du site de réfugiés d’Abala.
