SUMMARY:Applied Water Resource Management in the Lake Chad Basin with GIZ (2019-2022 Project)
DESCRIPTION:Applied Water Resource Management in the Lake Chad Basin (2019–2022)\n Strengthening Transboundary Water Governance\, Climate Resilience\, and Livelihoods \nFrom 2019 to 2022\, the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC/CBLT) implemented the project “Applied Water Resource Management in the Lake Chad Basin”\, a multi‑country initiative aimed at strengthening institutional capacity\, improving transboundary water governance\, and supporting climate-resilient livelihoods across one of Africa’s most fragile and strategically important ecosystems. Supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)\, the €5 million project was embedded in LCBC’s broader mandate to ensure sustainable and equitable management of the Basin’s shared water resources. [giz.de] \nContext: A Basin Under Pressure\nThe Lake Chad Basin—shared by Cameroon\, Chad\, Niger\, Nigeria\, the Central African Republic\, and Libya—is globally recognised for its ecological significance and socio-economic value. Yet\, decades of climate change\, water scarcity\, land degradation\, and rapid population growth have intensified competition over natural resources. These pressures have further been compounded by insecurity\, forced displacement\, and fluctuating hydrological conditions. \nTo respond effectively\, LCBC requires robust data systems\, strengthened technical capacity\, and well-coordinated governance mechanisms that involve governments\, communities\, and civil society. The project directly supported LCBC in these areas while simultaneously piloting and scaling up practical climate-adaptation solutions at community level. \nProject Objectives\nThe project pursued a central goal:\nEnhance LCBC’s capacity to implement transboundary water resource management measures that integrate climate change adaptation and support sustainable agricultural production. \nThree core objectives guided implementation: \n\nImprove cooperation between LCBC and its member states through strengthened planning processes\, enhanced advisory functions\, and streamlined coordination mechanisms.\nOperationalize a regional governance structure in the transboundary Waza–Logone/Yaéré area to identify resource-use challenges and jointly develop solutions.\nStrengthen LCBC’s technical capacity to develop\, manage\, and implement measures that support sustainable agricultural production and climate change adaptation at community level.\n\nThese objectives were pursued through policy advisory support\, technical training\, participatory planning processes\, and field-level demonstration activities. \nKey Achievements (2019–2022)\n\n Strengthening LCBC’s Institutional Capacity\n\nA major achievement was the reinforcement of LCBC’s internal systems and technical competencies. The project: \n\nEnhanced the Lake Chad Information System (LIS)—a regional digital platform for environmental and hydrological data—improving data quality\, accessibility\, and use in decision-making.\nSupported the development and regular update of integrated watershed management tools\, enabling LCBC and member states to coordinate transboundary interventions more effectively.\nStrengthened strategic planning\, project management\, and monitoring functions across LCBC departments. [giz.de]\n\nThese improvements have increased LCBC’s credibility among regional and international partners\, earning recognition in follow-on initiatives such as the World Bank’s PROLAC programme. \n\n Establishing Regional Governance Mechanisms\n\nIn the Waza–Logone/Yaéré wetland zone\, the project facilitated the establishment of a regional coordination and dialogue platform bringing together: \n\nWater user associations\nCivil society actors\nLocal authorities and technical agencies\nResearch institutions\n\nThis platform is now an official mechanism under the LCBC Water Charter\, giving local communities a voice in managing shared water resources and enabling joint identification of cross-border challenges such as flooding\, grazing conflicts\, fisheries management\, and agricultural pressures. [giz.de] \n\n Promoting Climate-Smart and Conflict-Sensitive Livelihoods\n\nWorking with local NGOs and agricultural extension services\, the project scaled up Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) among farming households in the intervention zone. These included: \n\nClimate-smart water and soil management techniques\nImproved seeds and sustainable crop production methods\nCommunity-level training through farmer field schools\nTargeted support to women’s agricultural groups\n\nMore than 2\,000 households adopted these practices\, improving food security and helping reduce local tensions over land and water resources as competition intensified. \n\n Improved Resilience and Impact on Development Goals\n\nThe project directly contributed to several Sustainable Development Goals: \n\nSDG 2 – Zero Hunger: by improving agricultural productivity and resilience.\nSDG 5 – Gender Equality: by integrating women’s groups into training and decision-making.\nSDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation: by enhancing transboundary water governance structures.\nSDG 13 – Climate Action: through climate-adopted farming systems and watershed planning tools. [giz.de]\n\nLessons Learned \n\nPermanent in-country technical presence greatly enhanced LCBC’s operational effectiveness\, fostering trust and improving day-to-day collaboration.\nIntegrated watershed management tools—combined with the improved LIS—proved essential for evidence-based decision-making.\nBuilding community ownership through participatory platforms reduced conflict risks and supported long-term sustainability.\nFlexibility and adaptive management\, especially during COVID‑19 disruptions\, were critical to maintaining project momentum.\n\nSustainability and Way Forward\nThe project received an overall rating of “successful”\, demonstrating strong institutional impact and improvements in LCBC’s technical performance. The strengthened LIS\, regional governance platforms\, and capacity-building outcomes now serve as foundations for continued progress. \nThese achievements feed directly into the follow-on programme “Applied Water Resource Management in the Lake Chad Basin – Phase II (2023–2025)”\, which further expands LCBC’s role as a regional hub for climate-resilient and conflict-sensitive water governance. [cblt.org] \nConclusion\nBetween 2019 and 2022\, the Applied Water Resource Management project significantly advanced LCBC’s mandate to safeguard the Basin’s shared water resources\, enhance regional cooperation\, and support climate-resilient livelihoods. In a context marked by fragility and environmental stress\, the project demonstrated that strengthened institutions\, empowered communities\, and data-driven decision-making are key to securing sustainable development in the Lake Chad Basin. \nLCBC will continue building on these gains as it leads regional efforts toward environmental sustainability\, peacebuilding\, and prosperity for the millions who depend on Lake Chad.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Water Resources Management in the Lake Chad Basin with GIZ (2014-2019)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThe Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) was set up in 1964 by the four riparian states Niger\, Nigeria\, Cameroon and Chad\, with the Central African Republic and Libya joining in 1985 and 2007 respectively. LCBC is the only institution that enjoys the acceptance of all these countries when it comes to resolving cross-border issues. Its mandate is to supervise and coordinate transboundary water projects\, protect natural resources\, regulate and monitor water usage\, and settle disputes. The reorganization undertaken in 2009/2010 has not equipped LCBC to meet the demands placed on it. Additionally\, new areas of activity are emerging which require the institution to further adapt its management strategy and expand its capacities. \nObjective\nLCBC leverages its enhanced planning\, cooperation and communication capacities to improve cooperation with its member states. \nApproach\nThis project forms part of the programme Sustainable Water Resources Management of the Lake Chad Basin\, which is being carried out in cooperation with the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources. The intention is for LCBC to evolve into an information centre and a service provider for its member states and to become more efficient and effective in performing its work using its enhanced expertise. \nThe project is investing in the institutional reform of LCBC\, the consolidation of planning processes\, the setting up of a monitoring and evaluation system and an information system (regional database)\, and the improvement of internal and external communication. It supports human resources development\, encourages specialist dialogue with other international commissions and promotes the creation of media products and publications. Improved donor coordination is to ensure that the available resources are used more effectively in future. \nCompower\, a company based in Karlsruhe\, is assisting the programme with the redesign and maintenance of the website and the establishment of LCBC’s internal communication platform\, providing the necessary training along the way. AHT GROUP AG\, which developed the LIS Lake Chad Information System with the specialist regional databases\, is supporting the expansion of LCBC’s IT infrastructure. The company ibes AG from Jena has assisted with the development of the hi-tech server and the training of IT staff and will continue to do so. Königswieser & Network (Vienna)\, synetz international (Rösrath) and the Integrated Consulting Group Deutschland (Berlin) are providing consultancy services in organisational development\, for instance with respect to the reform of LCBC\, communication and capacity development activities. \nLCBC’s expertise is being enhanced by means of peer support to the relevant departments with the preparation of the initial report on the environmental and socio-economic status of the Lake Chad Basin and the annual monitoring reports. AHT GROUP AG is also providing assistance in this context. The departments are being trained in using and maintaining the information system and the internal communication platform. At the same time\, activities are conducted to enhance LCBC’s expertise in the area of climate change. \nResults\nThe cross-departmental Internal Experts Meeting and the Water and Climate Coordination Group\, which were set up to facilitate cooperation with other institutions from the member states\, have already improved coordination at international level and encouraged mutual support among the different actors. \nThe information management system has been adapted to meet the new challenges faced by LCBC through the addition of a range of databases\, improvements to the internal IT infrastructure (hi-tech server) and the establishment of a dedicated internal communication platform to improve staff communication. This is improving the efficiency of interdisciplinary and cross-departmental cooperation through the use of standardised data. This data is being utilised as the basis for the first report on the environmental and socio-economic status of the Lake Chad Basin\, which is due to be completed in 2015. \nThanks to the introduction of cross-departmental planning and monitoring of activities\, programmes and projects\, it is now possible to draw up strategic annual operational plans in time for the annual meetings of the Council of Ministers. \nThe Council of Ministers agreed in April 2015 to implement the reform proposals drafted by the project in order to increase the effectiveness\, efficiency and expertise of LCBC. \n
