Chad community conflict prevention initiatives

Overview

Efforts to mitigate community and agro-pastoral conflicts in Chad have progressed from regional mediation to national-level planning. In early October 2026, stakeholders in the Moyen-Chari province met in Sarh to strengthen cooperation among agropastoral mediators. Supported by the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, the meeting addressed tensions regarding land access, water points, and transhumance routes, while also discussing food security and market stability.

By late October 2026, the focus expanded to a national scale. The High Council of Traditional Chieftaincies organized a forum in Mongo, involving traditional authorities from all 23 provinces. This national meeting, held under the patronage of President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno, aimed to develop a roadmap and an early warning system for disputes. The initiative seeks to integrate traditional leadership with territorial administration and security forces to foster social cohesion.
