In the Djoli canton of Moyen-Chari, Chad, the Consortium for the Promotion of Initiatives and Development held a meeting on September 17, 2026, to encourage peaceful coexistence among local communities.
The Consortium organised the event as part of the Lapia project, which aims to support social cohesion in southern Chad. The European Union funded the project, and Coginta along with the RESAP/MC network carried out the work.
The meeting, called “DjiraïLom Djoli”, focused on improving dialogue between groups and preventing conflict over farming and herding activities. Participants also discussed how to manage natural resources together, including issues related to Manda National Park. Thirty-four people attended, including sixteen women, and they shared concerns and possible solutions for maintaining peace.
Project leaders believe the timing of the discussions is important, falling during harvest season, and hope it will help farmers and herders understand their responsibilities and choose dialogue over conflict. Participants requested more sessions in rural areas and peace education in schools.
