The Lake Chad Basin Conservation Project is a three-year initiative that aims to improve the climate resilience of ecosystems and marginalized communities vulnerable to climate change, particularly women and youth, through nature-based climate solutions in six RAMSAR sites in Chad (Lake Fitri, Logone floodplains and Toupouri depressions, Bahr Aouk and Salamat floodplains), Niger (Lake Guidimouni, Mare de Lasourri, and Cameroon (Waza floodplain Logone). As a prelude to the effective start of the project, CPHDA carried out the baseline study of the project in the three target countries in June 2023.
