SUMMARY:Applied Water Resource Management in the Lake Chad Basin with GIZ (2023-2026 Project)
DESCRIPTION:Applied Water Resource Management in the Lake Chad Basin (GIZ-CBLT 2023 – 2026) \n   \nProject Overview \nThe Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC)\, in partnership with the German Development Cooperation (GIZ)\, is implementing the project*“Applied Water Resource Management in the Lake Chad Basin”* to strengthen sustainable\, climate-resilient and conflict-sensitive management of shared water resources across the region. \nFunded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)\, the project is being implemented from January 2023 to December 2026 across LCBC member countries\, including Cameroon\, Chad\, Niger\, Nigeria and the Central African Republic. \nContext and Rationale \nThe Lake Chad Basin is a vital ecological and economic zone\, supporting millions of people through agriculture\, livestock\, and fisheries. However\, the basin faces increasing pressure from overuse of water resources\, environmental degradation\, and pollution. These challenges are further compounded by climate variability\, resulting in heightened competition over resources and rising conflicts among communities. \nIn response\, the LCBC seeks to promote equitable\, climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable management of transboundary water resources to support regional stability and livelihoods. \nProject Objective \nThe project aims to strengthen the capacity of the LCBC to effectively guide its member states in managing water resources in ways that are: \n\nenvironmentally sustainable\nclimate-adapted\ngender-responsive\nconflict-sensitive.\n\nKey Interventions \nTo achieve its objective\, the project focuses on several strategic actions: \n\n Strengthening Knowledge and Data Systems\n\nThe project supports the development and enhancement of the Lake Chad Basin Information System\, facilitating improved collection\, processing\, and use of data for informed decision-making on water resource management. \n\n Enhancing Advisory Capacity of LCBC\n\nEfforts are underway to establish a structured advisory forum that enables the LCBC to provide targeted\, evidence-based guidance to its member countries on water governance and management practices. \n\n Promoting Multi-Stakeholder Engagement\n\nThe project supports a partner platform on the Logone River\, bringing together stakeholders\, local communities\, and institutions to identify pressing water-related challenges and jointly develop solutions tailored to local realities. \nLocal communities\, including farmers\, fishermen\, and livestock breeders\, are trained as resource persons to promote sustainable practices such as: \n\nuse of drought-resistant crops\nrainwater harvesting techniques\nresource-efficient agricultural methods\n\nThese peer-to-peer learning approaches help disseminate knowledge widely and strengthen resilience at the grassroots level. \nCross-Cutting Themes \nThe project integrates several important cross-cutting priorities: \n\nGender equality and inclusion\nClimate change adaptation\nPeacebuilding and conflict mitigation\nParticipatory governance\n\nExpected Impact \nThrough its interventions\, the project is expected to: \n\nimprove regional cooperation in water resource management\nstrengthen LCBC’s institutional capacity\nenhance livelihoods through sustainable practices\nreduce tensions related to resource use\nsupport long-term environmental sustainability in the basin\n\nConclusion \nThe Applied Water Resource Management Project represents a strategic contribution to the LCBC’s mandate of fostering sustainable and peaceful use of shared natural resources. By combining technical support\, institutional strengthening\, and community engagement\, the initiative lays the foundation for a more resilient and stable Lake Chad Basin.
