The presence of COOPI in the country, dating back to 1976, allows us to know in depth the problems that afflict it and work within the field to find the best solutions, supporting communities.
At the moment, in the area of Lake Chad, COOPI intervenes in several areas and provides education in emergency for internally displaced children, psychosocial support for trauma survivors and sanitation and access to drinking water through an approach DRR to natural disasters. In the Sila region - east of the country - COOPI implements a four-year project on agropastoralism for the prevention and management of conflicts between farmers and pastoralists.
