For over nine years, the Lake Chad Basin (LCB) crisis – impacting Northeast (NE) Nigeria, the Lake Region of Chad, the Region of Diffa in Niger, and the Far North Region of Cameroon – has exacerbated existing vulnerabilities, torn apart communities and families, constrained livelihood opportunities, destroyed infrastructure, and dismantled local government’s ability to respond to the needs of its citizens. To address the myriad of inter-related and chrome factors inhibiting the recovery of resilient, rebuilt communities in the LCB, CRS was awarded a two- year (from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2021) Stabilization and Reconciliation in the Lake Chad Region (STaR) Project, which is financed by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through KfW (German Financial Cooperation).
The overall objective of the 24-month STaR Project is to contribute to the stabilization and reconciliation in the most affected regions of the LCB crisis (Borno and Adamawa States in Nigeria, Diffa Region in Niger, and Lake Province in Chad).
