Despite deteriorating security situations and the COVID-19 pandemic, the UNDP Regional Stabilization Facility (RSF) for the Lake Chad Basin (LCB) region has made substantive progress from September 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020.

Conceived as a support to the Regional Strategy for the Stabilization, Recovery and Resilience of the Boko Haram-affected Areas of the Lake Chad Basin (RSS) (adopted by the Lake Chad Basin Commission in August 2018), the RSF aims to promote “immediate stabilization” (Results area 1; Outputs 1-3), in the affected territories of Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria (through the RSF National Windows), and “extended stabilization” (Results area 2; Outputs 4-6), in support to the Lake Chad Basin Commission and the African Union Commission (through the RSF Regional Window).
