I. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION

Chad has a National Contingency Contingency Plan (PNCM) which was validated in September 2017. In addition to identifying the main risks (floods, epidemics, population movements and food and nutritional insecurity) to which In response to the country's development of scenarios and plans for responding to these risks, the plan has sought to clarify the key aspects of emergency management. These focused on the roles and responsibilities of the institutions, within their respective official mandates, as well as on the contribution of UN Agencies, NGOs and other partners. Mechanisms and procedures for management and coordination have been proposed at the national level. However, It seemed important to extend them to the provincial level to ensure better coordination and crisis management and to strengthen the link with the central level. Thus, in 2018, two (2) pilot provinces namely the provinces of Logone Occidental and Salamat have multi-hazard contingency plans with simulation exercises.
Like other provinces of Chad, the provinces of Logone Oriental and Lac, located to the southwest and west respectively, are not spared by certain hazards including epidemics (cholera in particular), floods due to heavy rains in the rainy season and population movements related to influxes of refugees and returnees from Nigeria, CAR and Niger as well as internal displacement movements in the Lac region.
In addition, it is important to underline that the Lake Provincial Action Committee (CPA) is developing its Stabilization and Development Plan and benefiting from the technical and operational support of the United Nations system. It is advisable to promote the link between humanitarian and development in this dynamic and the development of the contingency plan for the region is part of this objective.
Following on from the efforts that led to the development of Contingency Plans for the Salamat and Logone regions of the West, contingency plans will be drawn up for the Eastern Logone and Lake regions. They will identify the major risks inherent to these two regions, develop scenarios and plans for responding to the identified risks and define the roles and responsibilities of the various State structures, Governors, CPAs and CDAs., CLA and Mairie for better management of crisis situations. These plans will also clarify the articulation between the central and provincial level in crisis management.
