OFFICE/UNIT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The nexus of security-humanitarian-development issues around Lake Chad has given rise to an intractable extremist insurgency that has left tens of thousands of people dead, approximately 2.5 million displaced, and more than 10 million people in the region affected and in need. While robust national and multi-national military operations have re-taken territory previously controlled by Boko Haram, UNDP recognizes that a new approach is required to consolidate these gains and establish the conditions necessary to transition from military to civilian responsibility for security, and from the provision of humanitarian assistance to the resumption of stalled development processes. In this context, the UNDP has strengthened its presence in the Lake Chad region by establishing sub-offices in Bol and Massakory. The sub-offices serve as the centre of operations for programming which will include a Regional Stabilization Facility.
The Sub-Offices (SO) for Bol and Massakory have been operational since 2020 and UNDP has established an Operations Service Centre to support management and operations functions related to the effective delivery of programmatic results in anticipation of launch of new programmes, such as Chadian Window of the Stabilization Facility. The National Window of the Regional Stabilization Facility for Chad aims to address the needs of immediate stabilization in the target areas with high degrees of insecurity, promoting the phased transition of insecure areas toward greater security, and the reduction of current volatility whereby previously secure areas have become more rather than less vulnerable. As part of the Stabilization second phase, the CO of the United Nations Development Programme in Chad is launching the recruitment of an Communication Analyst for the sub-office in Massakory, Hadjer Lamis province.

OFFICE/UNIT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Pays sahélien, situé au cœur du continent africain, la diversité des profils agroécologiques du Tchad en fait un pays à vocation agropastorale (production agricole vivrières 52 %, les cultures de rente 9 % et 39 % pour l’élevage et la pêche). Le pays enregistre plus de 100 millions de têtes de bétail. Environ 80% de ce cheptel est géré par des systèmes pastoraux mobiles très diversifiés surtout la transhumance qui, par excellence, favorise les échanges entre les communautés d’éleveurs et les communautés d’agriculteurs, sédentaires, sous diverses formes. Les provinces de Ouaddaï, de Sila et de Salamat, sont dotées de conditions naturelles (climat et végétation) très favorables aux activités agricoles et pastorales.
Comme dans la plupart de ses pays voisins, le conflit agriculteurs-éleveurs est devenu une menace importante pour la paix et la sécurité au Tchad.
Le changement climatique affecte négativement la production agricole, ainsi que les capacités de production des parcours et les possibilités d’abreuvement du bétail. Les incidences du changement climatique sur la viabilité des systèmes de production ruraux sont à l’origine de l’amplification des concurrences entre les usagers des espaces ruraux et de la détérioration de la cohésion sociale. De plus, il est un facteur qui exacerbe les facteurs de conflits existants ou contribue à de nouvelles formes de différends : Modification des itinéraires de transhumance, concurrence accrue pour l’accès aux pâturages et à l’eau, épuisement des sols, baisse de la productivité agricole et de la résilience des communautés, migration etc…
Les affrontements entre les communautés de pasteurs et d’agriculteurs, causés par ces facteurs de baisse d’accès aux pâturages entrainent des attaques criminelles, la propagation de trafics en tous genres, y compris des armes et des personnes. Ce phénomène a fait payer un lourd tribut dans les trois (3) provinces cibles du projet à plus de 200 personnes entre 2019 et 2020 et a effiloché de nombreux connecteurs sociaux, notamment interethniques et interreligieux au niveau local.
Cette situation a mis en évidence la nécessité d’aider les provinces touchées (Ouaddaï, Sila et Salamat) à gérer et prévenir ces conflits, en utilisant le dialogue comme outil principal pour atténuer l’impact du conflit.
Des initiatives de relèvement rapide, et de prévention des conflits sont nécessaires pour ancrer les populations dans leurs communautés et renforcer leur résilience notamment face à la menace de l’extrémisme violent. En effet, même s’il n’est pas encore rapporté de cas de violence extrémiste dans la zone du projet, il est connu que les groupes extrémistes se nourrissent des divisions et antagonismes qu’ils trouvent dans les communautés. Ils les exacerbent pour servir leur cause. Voilà pourquoi le conflit agriculteurs-éleveurs, s’il n’est pas jugulé à temps pourrait servir de porte d’entrée à l’extrémisme violent dans les provinces cibles du projet.
L’évolution du contexte montre que l’un des principaux facteurs au cœur de la conflictualité dans les zones ciblées est lié à l’incapacité des autorités locales à assurer un arbitrage équitable de l’accès aux ressources naturelles. Face à cette situation, le défi de l’optimisation des dispositifs locaux de gestion des conflits et celui du renforcement de leurs capacités se pose avec acuité. Pour relever ces défis, il conviendra de garantir une meilleure représentation et une meilleure participation des femmes et des jeunes dans les processus de prise de décision, en vue de tirer réellement profit de leurs rôles, leur capacités et potentialités en matière de gestion des conflits.
En outre, le manque de planification et d’engagement appropriés de la part des autorités étatiques et locales dans ces domaines a laissé les communautés affectées sans protection, sans oublier la législation inadéquate qui régit encore le pastoralisme aujourd’hui alors qu’elle date de 1959.
Le déficit d’accord entre les transhumants et les communautés agricoles et sédentaires, donne lieu à une montée des tensions.
De ces dernières décennies, il est clairement établi que du fait des facteurs liés aux changements climatiques, l’ampleur, la violence et la fréquence enregistrées de ces conflits agriculteurs/éleveurs, dépassant même les mécanismes traditionnels et communautaires de leur résolution pacifique, ont été sans précédent. En outre, la réduction de la sécurité dans certaines zones du Tchad et les pays limitrophes a également entrainé une concentration du bétail dans certains lieux, impactant significativement les couloirs traditionnels de transhumance.
C’est pourquoi, à travers ce projet, le PNUD et ses partenaires accorderont une attention particulière à ces facteurs afin de proposer des solutions adéquates pour une gestion optimale de ces conflits.
C’est donc pour réaliser ce projet, que le bureau du Programme des Nations Unies pour le Développement (PNUD) au Tchad recrute un (e) (1) analyste programme Résilience aux conflits.

The Nigeria International Partners Group (NIPG) was restructured in January 2020 and is composed of the United Nations and its agencies; bi-lateral donors; multilateral donors; the international financial institutions, and representatives from international non-governmental organizations (I-NGOs).
In line with the five pillars of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the commitment for greater partnership between different parties working on aid and development in the Accra Agenda for Action, the proposed objective of the NIPG is to strengthen international partner coordination at national level and foster alignment with the Government of Nigeria on planning and delivery of all development and related activities.
The NIPG aims at supporting a harmonized collective approach in alignment with the priorities of the Government of Nigeria. This will include the development and delivery of an international mutual accountability framework to better coordinate international community efforts to support the Nigerian government’s responsibilities to reduce poverty in Nigeria.
