The European Union (EU) has pledged €102.5 million in humanitarian aid to Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon to help vulnerable communities in the Lake Chad region.
The funds, which are part of the total €181.5 million allocated for the Lake Chad Basin, the Central African Republic, and the Sahel this year, will provide support to those impacted by conflict, displacement, and food insecurity.
The pledge was announced during the High-Level Conference on the Lake Chad Region, held in Niamey on January 23rd to 24th. The EU’s humanitarian aid will focus on providing life-saving assistance to displaced people and host communities, addressing acute food needs, and improving access to healthcare, water, and sanitation.
