Countries: Chad, Sudan Source: UN Children's Fund Please refer to the attached file. Appeal highlights In Chad, chronic and acute crises – conflict, forced displacement, food insecurity, malnutrition and health emergencies – continue to impede the realization of children’s rights. At the same time, the crisis in the Sudan is further straining Chad's fragile systems and heightening urgent humanitarian needs. For 2026, the inter-agency prioritization exercise identified 4.5 million people in 53 departments with severe needs in multiple programmatic areas. UNICEF will focus its action on the most affected geographic areas, where 2.7 million people face severity level 3 conditions and 1.9 million face level 4 conditions. In these high‑severity areas, UNICEF will provide integrated, multisectoral support covering health, nutrition, WASH, education, social protection and child protection needs. The strategy also prioritizes strengthening local systems and transferring key capacities to government institutions. To deliver life-saving assistance to 1.4 million people, including 1.2 million children, UNICEF is appealing for US$111.2 million. More than half of this funding – $61.6 million – will address needs related to the Sudanese refugee crisis. Timely support is critical to prevent further deterioration and ensure equitable, impactful humanitarian action.
