Chad is seeing an influx of Sudanese refugees whose numbers are expected to pass the one million mark in coming months.

Multiple UN agencies including the UN Development Programme, UNDP, have joined forces to help the most vulnerable; one example is the construction of a women’s centre that doubles as a safe haven.

Francis James, the UNDP Resident Representative in Chad – said that the centre in Adre in eastern Chad is due to be inaugurated next month.

Further initiatives include establishing schools close to the camps housing Sudanese refugees, Mr. Francis explained to UN News’s Daniel Johnson in Geneva.
