Chad - Refugees and Host Communities Support Project

  • F Funding Initiative/Portfolio

A Active

Key Information

Implemented by Cellule Filets Sociaux. The objectives of the Refugees and Host Communities Support Project for Chad are to improve access of refugees and host communities to basic services, livelihoods, and safety nets, and strengthen country systems to manage refugees. There are four components to the project, the first component being improving access to basic services. This component will support improved access to basic services, particularly health and education, with investments to rehabilitate or build new public service infrastructure in targeted areas, and to manage operation of the facilities. The second component is the Improving resilience of households. Activities under component two will focus on the expansion of Chad’s social protection system to include poor and vulnerable refugee and host community households in selected areas. This component seeks to provide more targeted assistance to improve the resilience of the poorest/most vulnerable households through cash assistance (sub-component 2.1) and productive measures (sub-component 2.2). All activities will be targeted at the household level, utilizing a combination of targeting approaches. The third component is the strengthening country systems to support refugees and host communities. This component will finance investments aimed at strengthening government systems to manage current and future refugee situations, with a focus on two main areas: (a) enhancing CNARR’s capacity to carry out its institutional mandate; and (b) improving social protection systems. Finally, the fourth component is the project management. This component will finance technical and operational assistance in day-to-day coordination, procurement, financial management, safeguards management, citizen engagement, routine M&E, as well as enhanced M&E in insecure geographic areas of the project. This component will include support to the project implementing unit (CFS).
