Contexte et justification

The Africa Union, the LCBC and UNDP has developed a five-year stabilization strategy - “Regional Strategy for the Stabilization, Recovery & Resilience of the Boko Haram-affected Areas of the Lake Chad Basin (RSS)”. The RSS provides a comprehensive, integrated and multi-level framework for overall stabilization, comprising nine inter-related pillars which include military support to the MNJTF, provision of humanitarian assistance and key interventions to secure early recovery and longer-term resilience. The Strategy recognizes the nexus between security, humanitarian and development issues and calls for a “New Way of Working” to be at the heart of the response to the Lake Chad Basin Region crisis. Achieving the “New Way of Working” will require strong coordination between Governments at central and local levels, regional and continental institutions and between UN agencies and entities, including international community partners, civil society actors and the private sector.

The RSS Secretariat support the LCBC by establishing an effective internal and external communication system and products for RSS stakeholders on RSS planning and implementation. In 2020, the secretariat contributes to the improvement of the LCBC website (EN/FR) to facilitate access to information and promote interaction and collaboration among key stakeholders and that required an additional support for the administration.
