Oxfam’s Chad Report 2025-2026: A Year of Challenges and Collaborative Efforts BODY: N’Djamena, Chad – Oxfam’s annual report for the fiscal year 2025-2026, recently concluded, reveals a landscape of multifaceted challenges in Chad, amidst ongoing development efforts and partnerships.
The report underscores the successes and the struggles faced by the country, highlighting the need for strategic partnerships and a fairer distribution of resources.
The year saw a surge in Sudanese refugees, exacerbating the humanitarian situation. Climate crises and security issues further complicated the scenario, demanding a coordinated response from various stakeholders. Despite these challenges, the report lauds the collaborative efforts of partners, institutions, the private sector, and civil society organizations.
Oxfam’s report details the organization’s work in Chad, emphasizing its three strategic programs: Humanitarian Action, Livelihoods and Food Security, and Good Governance and Active Citizenship.
The report also highlights the cross — cutting themes of Gender Justice, Communication, Protection, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), and Localization.
The report reveals that the humanitarian response in Chad faced a significant setback due to the massive underfunding of the Humanitarian Response Plan.
As of December 31, 2025, only 29. 9% of the required funding (435. 4 million USD out of 1.
454 billion USD) was secured, a stark contrast to the 57% funding achieved in 2024 and 45% in 2023. Despite these financial constraints, Oxfam’s programs achieved notable results, contributing to the reduction of inequalities and improving the lives of the most vulnerable populations.
The organization’s efforts in addressing issues such as poverty, inequality, and access to justice have been particularly impactful.
The report also touches upon the Mandakao massacre, a tragic event that underscored the gaps in Chad’s violence prevention, life protection, and access to justice systems.
The incident has raised international concern and has been followed by restrictions on civic space, further complicating the humanitarian situation. Oxfam’s Chad report for 2025-2026 serves as a call to action for the international community to remain committed to supporting Chad’s efforts towards peace, justice, and prosperity.
The organization emphasizes the need for continued support and a more equitable distribution of public resources to ensure sustainable development and stability in Chad.
