For 30 years, Acted has been working at the first mile 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 Chad

Present in Chad since 2024, Acted works in favor of vulnerable populations in the Lac and Ouaddai Provinces, and in Ndjamena. In 2024, the organization implemented 11 projects for a budget of 8 million euros. Its operations are coordinated from NDjamena and implemented through 3 field bases in Bol and Daboua in Lac, and Adré in Ouaddai.
In Lac, Acted supports internally displaced persons following attacks by armed groups through the RRM mechanism, of which it is co-lead, and provides assistance in food security and support for site coordination and management (CCCM). It also participates in strengthening the resilience of populations within the framework of education, water, hygiene and sanitation or livelihood projects.
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 in shelters/AME, CCCM and Protection, Acted meets the vital needs of displaced people in informal sites and reception camps.
Finally, Acted regularly intervenes in response to cyclical shocks, such as the lean season 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.
