Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) Specialist Chad N'Djamena

• In April 2023, a large-scale conflict broke out in Sudan, triggering mass displacement towards neighbouring countries, notably Chad, which remains one of the main host countries for people fleeing the Sudanese conflict. As of 11 May 2026, more than 927,000 Sudanese refugees had crossed the Chadian border since the start of the crisis, whilst by the end of April 2026, the country was hosting approximately 2.25 million forcibly displaced persons, including refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons and returnees at risk of protection violations.
• From the outset, people fleeing the war initially found safety along the border areas with Darfur, before being gradually relocated to refugee camps and sites set up in the eastern provinces, notably Ouaddaï, Wadi Fira and Sila. As of 11 May 2026, approximately 621,000 people had been relocated from the border areas to more than 25 secure sites, whilst new arrivals continue to place significant pressure on basic services, community mechanisms and humanitarian response capacities.
• Given the humanitarian needs and gaps, NRC is contributing to the emergency response by assisting the refugee population and the affected host communities in the areas of operation in eastern Chad, particularly the provinces of Ouaddaï, Wadi Fira and East Ennedi. NRC’s response focuses on programmes in sectors where NRC can provide added value, notably shelter and housing, water, hygiene and sanitation, emergency education (formal and youth education, including a component of training and support for social and economic empowerment), Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA). This latter includes Legal Identity, Housing, Land and Properties, Employment Law and Procedures, Legal Stay and Access to Essential Services.
