| dc.description | High levels of food insecurity and acute malnutrition persist in Chad despite investments by government, humanitarian and development actors. Global acute malnutrition (GAM) continues to surpass the emergency threshold of 15 percent on a yearly basis in many regions in Chad, including in Kanem – currently in Crisis (Cadre Harmonisé Phase 4) – and Barh El Gazel. The situation has been exacerbated by below-average rainfall coupled with repeated long dry spells. FAO is carrying out a study to determine the effectiveness and sustainability of a multisectoral livestock management intervention – including the provision of livestock feed, improved natural resource management (water and fooder) and nutritional counselling – in reducing the risk of acute malnutrition among children under 5 years of age and pregnant and breastfeeding women in Chad’s Kanem and Barh El Gazel regions. | |
