At the Kouchaguine-Moura displacement camp in eastern #Chad, more than 500 households have received cash assistance to buy food.

With support from @IFRC, Chad Red Cross (@CroixRougeTchad ) teams are on the ground supporting families fleeing Sudan

Since April 2023, the armed conflict in #Sudan has triggered a massive influx of people into #Chad, with more than 900,000 people having crossed the border as of December last year.

The Chad Red Cross, with the support of the @IFRC, is on the ground in Abéché and other surrounding areas to ensure that displaced people and local communities facing food insecurity receive support through food vouchers.

Strong national leadership, local ownership, and strategic partnerships are essential for sustainable health transformation. The SECURE Programme offers a unique opportunity to strengthen community health systems while creating employment and resilience at scale across the Central African Republic.

[Franky Ngbaba @FrankyNgbaba]

The IFRC Head of Delegation for CAR and Chad and the President of the Central African Red Cross joined the opening of the high-level co-creation workshop for the SECURE Programme, implemented in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation and chaired by H.E. Dr Pierre Somse, Minister of Health and Population of the Central African Republic.
Over the next four days, government institutions, the Central African Red Cross, IFRC, and key stakeholders will work together to design a nationally owned pathway for strengthening community health systems, expanding economic opportunities for young people and women, and building a resilient health workforce capable of driving sustainable development.

The USD 16 million SECURE Programme represents more than an investment in Community Health Workers, it is an investment in health security, human capital development, local leadership, and the future resilience of the Central African Republic. By bringing together health, employment, education, finance, and community actors around a common vision, this initiative demonstrates the power of partnership in advancing the New Public Health Order for Africa and accelerating progress toward Universal Health Coverage.

“Safe and dignified burials are a critical line of defense at this time.”

Speaking to @cgtnafrica from Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cate Kamatu, Senior Officer, Communications, stated that dead body management is one of the riskiest activities in an Ebola outbreak, as dead bodies are very infectious.

She reinforced the need for community engagement in containing the outbreak.

[IFRC @ifrc]

“Trust has become our greatest ally. Working with communities is essential to stop the transmission of Ebola.”

Speaking to @BBCWorld, @IFRC’s Catherine Kamatu highlights the Red Cross response on the ground in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as Ebola cases continue to surge.

The @IFRC has launched an emergency appeal to support @croix_rouge_rdc in providing life-saving assistance.

[IFRC Africa @IFRCAfrica]

“Without community trust and buy-in, progress is impossible.”

IFRC’s Bronwyn Nichols, Senior Officer for Public Health in Emergencies, spoke to @AJENews  on the importance of community engagement in the Ebola response.

She highlighted efforts in contact tracing, cross-border coordination, and safe dignified burials.

The IFRC continues to support @croix_rouge_rdc  in responding to the Ebola outbreak and assisting affected communities.

Reflection Day on the 8th of May !
On International Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, colleagues at the IFRC Bangui office came together to reflect on what “United in Humanity” means in their daily work. The gathering honored departed colleagues and volunteers with a moment of silence, while post‑it notes captured staff members’ sense of belonging to the Movement. It was a warm, meaningful occasion that celebrated both the challenges faced and the bonds that unite us in service to humanity.

Adré, a town in eastern #Chad, is a lifeline for people fleeing #Sudan.

The humanitarian service point receives 15–20 families crossing the border between Sudan and Chad per day.

With IFRC support, handwashing stations, water taps, lighting, waste bins & child-friendly spaces are making the site safer and more dignified.

Cet important atelier de travail, consacré à la relecture et à la validation des plans et procédures de mobilisation des ressources ainsi que de la stratégie de diplomatie humanitaire de la CRCA, s'est achevé aujourd'hui après trois jours d'échanges fructueux.

L'ensemble des documents soumis aux participants, venus de diverses structures, a été méticuleusement relu et approuvé, avec quelques ajustements.

Grâce à ces nouvelles orientations, la Société nationale est désormais mieux préparée pour anticiper les crises humanitaires, diversifier ses partenariats et renforcer son rôle et son influence sur la scène humanitaire, tant au niveau national que régional.

L’atelier de relecture et de validation des plans et procédures de mobilisation des ressources ainsi que de la stratégie de diplomatie humanitaire de la CRCA s’est ouvert aujourd’hui à Bangui, avec l’appui de la FICR et la participation de partenaires du Mouvement et d’institutions étatiques.
Pendant trois jours, les travaux viseront à doter la CRCA d’un cadre stratégique renforcé comprenant :

-Un plan de mobilisation des ressources actualisé,
-Des procédures opérationnelles standard (SoP) optimisées,
-Et une stratégie de diplomatie humanitaire ambitieuse et alignée sur les enjeux nationaux.

Cette démarche s’inscrit dans une vision de transformation visant à accroître l’efficacité opérationnelle, renforcer la visibilité institutionnelle et consolider l’autonomie financière de la CRCA. En finalisant ces documents stratégiques, la Société Nationale se positionne pour mieux anticiper les défis humanitaires, diversifier ses partenariats et renforcer son influence dans l’espace humanitaire national et régional.

Productive exchange  with the African Development Bank Representative in Chad. We discussed strong alignment between AfDB priorities—infrastructure, governance, women & youth, rural development—and the Chad Red Cross’s role as a last-mile delivery and resilience partner. Looking forward to concrete pathways ahead.

À Abéché, lors de l'inauguration de la première unité de traitement des déchets du Tchad, le maire de la ville a eu l'honneur de remettre un témoignage officiel aux différents partenaires et acteurs humanitaires, dont la FICR, représentée par le chef de délégation pour le bureau de la RCA et le Tchad. Cette distinction témoigne des actions et du soutien de la FICR, qui a contribué de manière significative à la gestion des déchets et à l'amélioration du cadre de vie de la commune d’Abéché, mais elle est aussi une marque de confiance et de responsabilité vis-à-vis du Secrétariat.
