Acted Chad
Present in Chad, Acted operates in support of vulnerable populations in the Lac and Ouaddaï provinces, as well as in N’Djamena. In 2025, the organization implemented 11 projects with a total budget of €10.5 million. Operations are coordinated from N’Djamena and implemented through four field bases located in Bol and Daboua in the Lac province, and Adré and Chokoyan in Ouaddaï.
In the Lac province, Acted supports internally displaced persons following attacks by armed groups through the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM), of which it is co-lead, and provides food security assistance. Acted also contributes to strengthening community resilience through projects in education, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and livelihoods.
In Ouaddaï, Acted redeployed as early as April 2023 in response to the unprecedented influx of Sudanese refugees and Chadian returnees fleeing the conflict in Sudan. Through a multi-sectoral emergency approach including shelter/NFI, CCCM, and protection, Acted addresses the vital needs of displaced populations in informal sites and reception camps. Since 2025, Acted has also been supporting the economic resilience of Sudanese refugees, in collaboration with host communities in the Chokoyan prefecture.
Acted’s work in Chad relies on recognized multi-sectoral technical expertise, rapid deployment capacity, a data-driven approach, strong local acceptance, and increased community participation.
