A remarkable journey within RESILAC Amadou Mamane Issakou: " Doing better with each phase" My name is Amadou Mamane Issakou. I am a 38-year-old agricultural engineer with 12 years' experience in the humanitarian sector. I joined the RESILAC project from its inception in August 2018 in Niger, where I served as Programme Manager for Labour-Intensive Works (HIMO) and agricultural production with ACF Spain in Diffa. Since July 2024, I have been the National Coordinator for RESILAC*2 in Chad. During my work on the RESILAC project, I have had some memorable experiences that have taught me a lot about myself. These experiences have considerably enriched my management skills. I discovered the importance of resilience and adaptability, I applied these lessons to improve coordination and team efficiency between 2020 and 2022, and once again, since I took up my new post. This period has been instrumental in my professional and personal development. As an anecdote, in June 2021, the Diffa Governorate invited me to a meeting presenting major projects in the region. During my presentation, I mentioned that our project did not have the same resources as those presented by the World Bank, which have a budget of tens of billions of euros. At the end of my presentation, the Secretary General of the Governorate took the floor and said: “RESILAC may not have the budget of other projects presented here, but I have had the opportunity to witness its achievements, which are so important for the communities, and to hear the many positive testimonials about it. You can be proud of your work." For me, this is what sets the RESILAC project apart. It is implemented through a multi-country, multisectoral approach (Cameroon, Nigeria, Chad, and Niger), addressing various sectors such as economic recovery, social cohesion, and sustainable land management. In its first phase, the project reached more than 30,000 people in Chad alone. It has integrated the humanitarian, development and peace dimensions in its implementation, enabling a more holistic and sustainable response to the region's complex challenges. The project has also placed particular emphasis on young people and women, providing them with employment opportunities and building their resilience in the face of climate change. This has helped to reduce unemployment and migration rate in the project area. The main difference I see between RESILAC*1 and RESILAC*2 lies in the will to improve by applying the lessons learned from the first phase: enhancing inclusion of the most vulnerable groups, reinforcing local governance through capacity-building, improving access to basic services, and strengthening community preparedness for climate shocks. This includes new initiatives to promote cross-border exchanges and foster climate-resilient production systems. What I particularly appreciate about RESILAC is the constant self-reflection and the drive to innovate. We are always striving to do better than before. We are always looking to do better than last time. The flexibility of the project allows us to adapt our actions to the changing needs of the communities. Seeing the positive effects and impacts on the smiling faces of programme participants is a source of great satisfaction and motivation. My only regret is that, given the limited budget allocated to the project, we are unable to do more in terms of developing market gardening spaces, building schools, and establishing health centers, which are sorely lacking in the project area.

Supporting access to basic services & social inclusion WHO WE ARE: 118 000 bEnEficiaRIES 51% are women The Lake Chad Inclusive Economic and Social Recovery Project (RESILAC) is a regional project aimed at strengthening people's resilience through economic recovery, social cohesion and sustainable land management in the countries around the Lake Chad Basin. After a first phase running from 2018 to 2022 in the 4 countries around the lake, and on the strength of its encouraging results, all the project's stakeholders renewed their commitment to the project in this region through a second phase, designed on the basis of the acquired knowledge. Co-financed by the European Union and the Agence Française de Développement to the tune of €38.5 million, this second phase is being implemented by a consortium of NGOs Action Against Hunger (lead partner), CARE International and Groupe URD, in partnership with CCFD-Terre Solidaire as well as national and local organisations. Renewed for a period of 5 years (2024-2028), the project covers 12 territories in 3 countries around Lake Chad (Cameroon, Nigeria and Chad) and aims to reach more than 118,000 people. 12 TERRITORIES 3 COUNTRIES TESTIMONIES Get a picture of our beneficiaries' daily lives COUNTRIES Discover the context in our intervention countries.

Les "Feedback Days" : RESILAC à l'écoute! « Aujourd’hui, 88% des populations au Tchad pensent que leurs opinions ne sont pas prises en compte dans les décisions humanitaires. De plus, 71% considèrent que les ONG et partenaires internationaux ne sont pas à leur écoute. »[1] Au vu des limites des méthodes et dispositifs « classiques » pour placer les populations au cœur de l’intervention, le projet RESILAC a développé un processus agile d’évaluation pour fournir une réponse adaptée et appropriée : le Feedback Day. Depuis son lancement en 2020, cette méthode a permis qu’en moyenne 200 personnes (parties prenantes) contribuent à améliorer le projet et introduire plus de 50 ajustements sur la mise en œuvre. Un processus d'écoute des populations La faible influence des communautés dans les interventions les concernant représente l’un des principaux obstacles vis-à-vis de la pertinence et de la qualité des actions de solidarité dans la région. Et pour cause, les responsables de projet ont peu d’écho de la part des bénéficiaires et des parties prenantes, et n’ont pas le temps ou les moyens de tirer les leçons opérationnelles pour améliorer la mise en œuvre en cours de projet. Le projet RESILAC replace donc ces communautés « au cœur de l’action » et des décisions qui les concernent. A travers le Feedback Day, elles peuvent exprimer leur vécu et avis sur l’intervention, prioriser leurs besoins et proposer des solutions. « Depuis le début du projet, nous avons été sollicités. Et aujourd'hui, avec le Feedback Day, nous voyons que des mesures effectives sont prises pour nous écouter », témoigne un chef de communauté. L’objectif des Feedback Days est donc de fournir un cadre d’échange et de participation aux personnes que le projet soutient, en s’appuyant sur leur perception de l’intervention en cours. Ainsi, RESILAC évalue la qualité de son intervention, apprend en temps réel, et améliore ses pratiques en cours de projet. Un mécanisme apprécié par Issakou Koundy, le Coordinateur National du projet au Tchad: « Maintenant je me sens plus à l’aise et confiant lors des visites terrain, car non seulement on rencontre les communautés, mais on leur rend compte de ce qui est fait avec les retours. Au sein de l'équipe, le Responsable de Suivi et Evaluation » n'est plus considéré comme un "policier" mais comme un "médiateur" vers lequel les équipes peuvent se tourner. » L’initiative « Feedback Day » est ainsi conduite, tous les trois mois, par les responsables de suivi et évaluation internes sur le terrain. 6 questions basiques[2] inspirées de la Norme Fondamentale Humanitaire (CHS)[3] sont proposées comme fil conducteur des échanges : Quels sont les éléments de RESILAC qui vous plaisent le plus ? Selon vous, avons-nous fourni ce dont vous aviez droit ? Recevez-vous suffisamment d’information à propos de RESILAC ? Avez-vous rencontré une difficulté/problème avec l’une de nos interventions ? Que pourrions-nous faire pour améliorer la qualité de nos interventions? Qu’est ce qui a changé en vous, que vous avez constaté avec l’appui du projet RESILAC ? Ces questions peuvent être adaptées selon le contexte. Comme l’explique l’un des responsables du projet : « A chaque fois que je me rends sur le terrain, je mets à jour le guide d'entretien. Il s'agit de questions ouvertes et la plupart sont adaptées en fonction des premières réponses recueillies. Cela élargit le spectre des questions possibles en fonction de la personne interrogée. » Des résultats encourageants Dans l’ensemble des pays d’intervention du projet, la plupart des retours ont porté sur des problématiques récurrentes liées aux actions de solidarité internationale. Ce processus agile en quatre étapes fondamentales s’inscrit dans une démarche d'apprentissage continu qui vient compléter les mécanismes traditionnels de gestion des retours communautaires, des plaintes et d’évaluation. Le Feedback Day c’est : Optimisation des ressources : Le Feedback Day nécessite peu de moyens (temps, budgétaires, humains) tout en assurant la représentation des parties prenantes. En temps réel : Le caractère agile et itératif de l’enquête permet d’ajuster le planning à celui des enjeux du programme. Prise en compte des retours : Le dialogue ouvert et bilatéral renforce l'instauration d’un climat de confiance entre les équipes du projet et les communautés. Apprentissage et émulation collective : Le processus d’enquête favorise la « désacralisation » de l’erreur et favorise une posture collective d’apprentissage et d’amélioration continue.

International conference Professional and economic integration of youth and women in the context of the lake Chad basin crisis: experience sharing and perspectives The crisis in the lake Chad basin is the result of a complex combination of multiple factors, including a precarious security situation involving non-state armed groups, extreme levels of poverty, persistent underdevelopment, and climatic disruption. This crisis, which has persisted for more than a decade, has affected every aspect of daily life (destruction of livelihoods, loss of financial and productive assets, limited access to education) of all social categories of the populations of the area; in particular women. The conference "Professional and economic integration of youth and women in the context of the Lake Chad Basin crisis: experience sharing and perspectives" provides a framework for exchange and restitution of the study on: "The place of gender in the socio-economic development of lake Chad", carried out within the framework of the RESILAC project.

Témoignages écrits et vidéo de nos bénéficiaires et des membres de l'équipe RESILAC. Mahamat, specialized land farmer LEARNING PROCESS FOR NEW AGRICULTURAL TECHNIQUES IMPLEMENTED BY THE RESILAC PROGRAM: COMMUNE OF NGARANGOU, CHAD MAHAMAT ADAM TCHARI is married, and father of 4 children. He resides in the Canton of Ngarangou (Mamdi Department, Chad). He is one of the beneficiaries of the RESILAC project. He is a maize farmer, with the other members of his market garden group. In the photos, he is weeding his maize. He tells the story: "Before the RESILAC project, I was a Community Master. I did market gardening but in a traditional way without many techniques. The RESILAC project then arrived in my region, and developed a market garden site in Ngarangou. I decided to enroll in workshops at a Champ Ecole Paysan [a group of 20 to 25 people who meet once a week to cultivate a training plot throughout the growing season and learn together how to solve production problems], during which we were taught new farming techniques. In the past, it was impossible for us to do market gardening in large areas. But since then, thanks to the installation of the solar irrigation system that gushes water at all times, we have managed to do market gardening on more than 4 hectares! From now on, I intend to persevere in my activity because economically, I have become stable".

Les dernières publications du projet. VIDEOS Innovative agriculture to fight global warming In the Lake Province of Chad A region suffering from lack of crop irrigation The security crisis that has been raging in the Lake Chad region for the past 10 years has profoundly altered the distribution of the population and precipitated changes that were already underway in the Sahelian zone [1] . Thus, population movements from the island zone of the lake, which is prey to attacks by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs), to less humid and less fertile areas, have resulted in a high level of exploitation of natural resources by the host and displaced populations in search of means of subsistence. This also leads to unexpected developments, such as the climatic modification of wetlands, where anthropogenic pressure [2] has dropped considerably. These areas are also being taken over by armed groups: they are taxing access to natural resources. Victims of these disasters, the populations are the first to be affected and access to water remains a major concern, both for agroforestry production and for human consumption. In fact, in the area, waterborne diseases are among the leading causes of mortality in children under 5 years of age. Problems of access to water also lead to high food insecurity, due to low agricultural production (high dependence on rainfall) and low household incomes in the area, which are essentially derived from the sale of agricultural surpluses. Despite this, the RESILAC project has conducted several studies, tests and trainings on the potential for introducing innovative agricultural practices adapted to climate change in Chad, in the Nguélea 1 and 2, Bol and Ngarangou cantons of the Lac Province [3] . In this region, which is mainly inhabited by agricultural and agro-pastoral households, agricultural production activities are faced with constraints such as : Poor access to good quality agricultural inputs; Poor access to agricultural innovations; Lack of technical support to better control the effects of pests, weeds and diseases on production; The absence of regulations governing the roaming of animals in agricultural production areas; The continuous silting up of polders[4], due to excessive wind and the lack of biological protection of the polders. In order to better respond to the needs of the populations benefiting from the activities to improve their production, a study on innovative endogenous[5] and exogenous practices was conducted by RESILAC. The results of the study have allowed us to better understand the existing practices, as well as their limitations, and to propose appropriate solutions. It is in this sense that experimental sites, to test and disseminate innovations, as well as Farmer Field Schools[6], to reinforce knowledge and cultural practices, have been implemented.

Gaptia, farmer and future restaurant owner AGRICULTURAL TRAINING PROCESS IMPLEMENTED BY THE RESILAC PROGRAM: ADEBOUR VILLAGE, MAINE SOROA COMMUNE, DIFFA, NIGER My name is Gaptia MAI WANDARA, beneficiary of the RESILAC project in the village of Adébour (commune of Mainé Soroa). I am a young woman aged 20, married and mother of three children, two boys (aged one and five respectively) and a girl (aged 3). Before the arrival of the Project, the only activity my husband and I relied on to support ourselves was farming. We had few resources and could not even cover the food needs of the household, as our agricultural production hardly exceeded 3 months of consumption after the harvest. On top of that, because of the insecurity in the Diffa region, the prices of basic necessities soared. We could barely eat twice a day, except on special ceremonial days. My growing children still needed a variety of foods. During the lean season, my husband was the sole provider of labor and charcoal sales. "During the ceremonies in the village, I gave my contribution and I am always proud to be among those who pay their social contribution. At the end of the HIMO activities, I was able to buy two sheep to fatten and sell." With the arrival of the RESILAC project, I was first selected as a beneficiary of labor-intensive work (HIMO). On the land reclamation sites, we worked five days a week, or twenty-five days a month, with a monthly income of 50,000 FCFA. Each beneficiary saved 20,000 FCFA in a savings account at the financial institution in charge of making payments to beneficiaries. With the 30,000 CFA francs that I received from each payment, I contributed to the management of the household and bought clothes for my children and myself. During the ceremonies in the village, I gave my contribution and I am still proud to be among those who pay their social contribution. At the end of the HIMO activities, we received the sum saved of 80,000 FCFA each, and with this sum I was able to buy two sheep to fatten and sell. I was also selected to follow the vocational training for 60% of the HIMO beneficiaries, implemented by pillar 2.2 of the RESILAC project. I followed the training to become a restaurant owner (hotel business). I was very motivated by this idea, and I used part of the funds received from the HIMO work and the funds received from this last training to start producing and selling directly consumable foods such as cakes. "I also benefited from a 200 m² plot where I practice market gardening in the community site of our village developed by the RESILAC project. On my plot, I grow potatoes, tomatoes, moringa and lettuce." Thanks to this market gardening activity that I practice today, the consumption of these market garden products has improved the nutritional security of my family, in this case that of my children, especially since before, not owning land, I did not practice market gardening. Now, market gardening has become a passion for me and as a woman, having access to land is a pride and an opportunity. I have also benefited from the psychosocial support of the RESILAC project. Until then, I was facing psychological problems - for example, I was excessively stressed, sad and did not want to attend ceremonies and other mass gatherings. From the very first psychoeducation activity, at the 6th session of the treatment, I felt a significant change in my mood, my mental health and my interaction with those around me. This allowed me to undertake my activities without hesitation, and to be more confident!

Présentation des 4 pays d'intervention du projet. ORGANISATIONS BEHIND RESILAC > The project is being implemented by a consortium made up of Action against Hunger (lead partner), CARE and Groupe URD, in partnership with the CCFD-Terre Solidaire network as well as local and national organisations in each country. In total, 6 country offices of Action contre la Faim and CARE and 14 civil society organisations, all identified at the start of the project, are fully involved in the implementation and governance of the project in the three intervention countries. The Consortium has set the objective that at least 30% of the project's activities should be carried out by local/national organisations. Some of these organisations are also supported in strengthening their organisational and technical capacities. All the organisations, regardless of their status, are part of the RESILAC regional network and take part in the project's discussions and technical learning. THE REGIONAL CONSORTIUM Action Against Hunger is a French humanitarian association that has been fighting against hunger in the world since 1979. Its mission is to save lives by eliminating hunger through the prevention, detection and treatment of undernutrition, particularly during and after emergency situations (conflicts, natural disasters). As an international NGO, Action Against Hunger provides its expertise in various fields such as health and nutrition, food security and livelihoods, access to water, sanitation and hygiene, climate and mental health. Action Against Hunger operates in 56 countries around the world. As part of the RESILAC project, Action Against Hunger is the lead organization for the project with donors. CARE France is a recognized public utility association. It is part of the global confederation, CARE International, which since 1945 has been fighting against poverty and social injustice in the world, with a focus on gender. CARE International provides emergency humanitarian and development aid in more than 100 countries, working on women's rights and equality, emergency humanitarian aid, climate, education, health, economic development, food security and water and sanitation. Because they are the first victims of inequalities, CARE places women and girls at the heart of its programs. As part of the RESILAC project, CARE is the lead for the transversal Gender component. Established in 1993, Groupe URD is an independent think-tank specializing in the analysis of practices and the development of policies for humanitarian action and the management of fragilities. Its multidisciplinary expertise, fueled by constant visits to crisis and post-crisis areas, allows it to understand how the sector functions as a whole. Committed to knowledge exchange and collective learning, it supports aid actors in the process of improving the quality of their interventions. As part of RESILAC, Groupe URD is the project's learning partner and knowledge manager. It is responsible for the monitoring-evaluation-accountability-research-learning component in order to inform decision-making, provide transparent accountability, and learn and improve practices. A SPECIAL PARTNER CCFD-Terre Solidaire is a French international solidarity NGO. Created in 1960, the association deals with the causes of crises, by supporting local partner associations in the countries. It does not replace them but rather work with these associations by contributing to the success of the partners' actions both through project/program financing and through its role in the facilitation of common systems, on methodological support, project monitoring and their capitalization. Within the framework of the RESILAC project, CCFD-Terre Solidaire is responsible for respecting the commitments of its partners (Cameroon and Chad) and provides methodological support to the other actors of the project in the adoption of a broader vision oriented towards change within the territories. These four historic organizations (Action against Hunger, CARE, Groupe URD and CCFD-Terre Solidaire) of RESILAC decided to come together in 2017 to carry out this project. To this end, they have adopted the following philosophy: “Preserving our specificities and feeding off these specificities to enrich ourselves collectively and act towards a common goal” LOCAL PARTNERS IN CAMEROON In addition to the country offices of Action Against Hunger Cameroon and CARE Cameroon, four Cameroonian organizations are participating in the implementation and governance of the project: The Maroua-Mokolo Diocesan Development Committee is a player in the fight against poverty in its territory. Its main areas of action aim to improve food security, strengthen access to basic services and the integration and economic autonomy of young people and women, but also to promote social cohesion and living together. The CDD has been in partnership with CCFD-Terre Solidaire since the 1990s. As part of RESILAC, it has contributed to the success of social cohesion and living together actions since 2018. The Cameroonian Association for Interreligious Dialogue (ACADIR), created in 2006, is a platform for meetings and dialogue between religions that promotes peace and social progress. The regional branch of the Far North was formed in 2015 when the Boko Haram attacks began. ACADIR is a partner of the CDD and CCFD-Terre Solidaire, and has contributed to the success of RESILAC's actions since 2018. The Youth Association for the Development of the Rural World was created in 2001 by a group of young people to promote local development.
