Acted
For 30 years, Acted has been working on the front lines of humanitarian action to save lives. Acted supports more than 27 million people in 43 countries, responding to their needs in hard-to-reach areas, while pursuing a triple mandate as a humanitarian, environmental, and development actor. Acted draws on a deep understanding of local contexts to develop and implement long-term actions, in collaboration with a wide range of local and international partners, to collectively build a 3ZERO world: Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon, and Zero Poverty.
Acted Tchad
Present in Chad since 2024, Acted works to support vulnerable populations in the Lake and Ouaddai Provinces, as well as in N’Djamena. In 2024, the organization implemented 11 projects with a budget of €8 million. Its operations are coordinated from N’Djamena and implemented through three field offices: Bol and Daboua in the Lake Province, and Adré in the Ouaddai Province.
In the Lake Chad region, Acted supports internally displaced persons following attacks by armed groups through the RRM mechanism, which it co-leads, and provides food security assistance and support for site coordination and management (CCCM). It also participates in strengthening the resilience of populations through education, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects, and livelihoods initiatives.
In Ouaddai, Acted redeployed in April 2023 to respond to the unprecedented influx of Sudanese refugees and Chadian returnees fleeing the fighting in Sudan. Through a multi-sectoral emergency approach encompassing shelter/NFI, CCCM, and protection, Acted addresses the vital needs of displaced persons in informal settlements and reception camps.
Finally, Acted regularly intervenes in response to cyclical shocks, such as welding and floods, which are particularly devastating.
Acted’s actions in Chad are based on recognized multi-sectoral technical expertise, rapid deployment capacity, a data-driven approach, strong local acceptance, and increased community participation.
