The crisis currently affecting the Lake Chad Basin states results from a complex combination of factors, including conflict with non-state armed groups, extreme poverty, underdevelopment and a changing climate, which together have triggered significant displacement of populations.

As of June 2024, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria were hosting an estimated 6,085,157 affected individuals made up of internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees (former IDPs and returnees from abroad) and refugees (both in- and out-of-camp). Thirteen per cent of the affected population (776,082  individuals) were located in Cameroon, while 5 per cent resided in Chad (296,123 individuals), 9 per cent in Niger (554,743 individuals) and finally, 74 per cent in Nigeria (4,458,209 individuals). Overall, the numbers show increases in IDPs (+1%) and returnees from abroad (+5%), and a decrease in refugees (-3%) since December 2023.
