Darfur and Chad Crisis Appeal Summary

The Darfur and Chad appeal was launched in May 2007 in response to the continued crisis in the region and the imminent onset of rains, which seriously threatened to affect the displaced populations who were living in aging tented camps.
Over the period of the appeal a total of £7.4 million was raised by the DEC of which £6 million was allocated to Member Agencies in the initial funding with the remainder in March 2008. Programme activities were designed to help around 284,200 households; with an average of 5-6 people per household the number supported by DEC funds is likely to be approximately 1.5 million.
