WFP Chad Country Brief, April 2026 (Reporting Period: March 2026)

Countries: Chad, Sudan Source: World Food Programme Please refer to the attached file. SITUATION OVERVIEW The continued influx of refugees and returnees from Sudan is placing additional pressure on already fragile local systems, particularly in border and host community areas. These dynamics are increasing demands on food systems, basic services, and local resources, reinforcing the importance of sustained, coordinated humanitarian support alongside national efforts to promote stability and resilience. KEY HIGHLIGHTS • Chad is a largely arid, landlocked Sahelian country in central Africa. Since April 2023, the Sudan crisis has driven one of Africa’s fastest-growing refugee influxes, bringing the total number of refugees to approximately 1.5 million. • This rapid increase is placing immense pressure on already limited resources, and cross-border arrivals into Chad are expected to continue. • With the June rainy season approaching, anticipatory logistics preparations are underway to support continuity of humanitarian operations. WFP is advancing pre-positioning efforts in coordination with partners to address anticipated needs over the coming months.
