Evaluation Summary - Pastoral Water Programme in Central Chad, Second Phase (Almy Al Afia 2)

In Chad, the pastoral water programme in central Chad, 2nd phase - Almy Al Afia 2 (CTD1125), was evaluated in 2020. The main objective of the programme was to secure the pastoral economy, strengthen social peace and fight poverty in pastoral and agropastoral areas.

The impact of the project on securing pastoral mobility is conditioned by the maintenance capacity of the structures.

The social agreements negotiated at the time of the creation or rehabilitation of the wells are likely to be called into question with the evolution of mobility dynamics.

The settlement of herders in agricultural areas and around wells is a major issue for the future of pastoralism and deserves to be better understood in order to guide hydraulic projects.
