CONTEXT :

Humanity & Inclusion (HI) has been present in Chad intermittently since the 1990s and permanently since 2014. HI currently operates in N’Djamena, Borkou (North), Ennedi (Northeast), Tibesti (Northwest), Moundou, Doba and Goré (South), Kanem (Mao), BeG (Moussoro), Lake Chad in Ngouri, Bol and West and recently in the East (currently based in Adré).

In response to humanitarian needs, HI initially launched an assessment of Atlas Logistique, an operational and technical unit of HI, to determine the logistical and access needs of humanitarian actors as well as inclusive humanitarian action (AHI), which highlighted the need for logistical solutions (rehabilitation of a humanitarian airstrip, shared storage and transport, at controlled temperatures for aid actors) as well as support for response actors to make essential activities more inclusive. Secondly, a team of specialists in functional and physical rehabilitation as well as mental health were deployed to analyze the needs in the Ouaddaï province. This resulted in the implementation of a response focused on these four components, in particular the management of physical and functional rehabilitation at the Adré hospital as well as on an outpatient basis in the refugee camps, the rehabilitation of the Adré airfield and the shared storage project for the benefit of humanitarian actors in the intervention zone. Similarly, mental health and psychosocial support activities for refugees/returnees/hosts who are impacted by the current conflict in Sudan. Finally, a humanitarian action component which aims to contribute to better care for vulnerable people, including people with disabilities, by promoting their inclusion and access in humanitarian response programs.
