Fact Check: "Only 13% of requested funding for Chad's refugees has been received this year."
What We Know
The claim that "only 13% of requested funding for Chad's refugees has been received this year" lacks direct support from the available sources. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and UNICEF provide insights into the funding situation for humanitarian efforts in Chad. According to a UNICEF Flash Update from May 30, 2025, UNICEF's funding needs for Chad were reported to be $48.3 million, with a funding gap of 72%. This indicates that a significant portion of the funding has not been secured, but it does not specifically confirm the 13% figure mentioned in the claim.
Moreover, a recent UN News article states that of the $114 million required for UNICEF's 2025 humanitarian response in Chad, only 34% has been secured. This further complicates the claim, as it suggests a higher percentage of funding received than what is stated.
Analysis
The claim's accuracy hinges on the specific context of the funding being referenced. The 13% figure does not appear in any of the reviewed sources, which raises questions about its origin. The UNHCR page provides general information about refugee and displacement data in Chad but does not specify the percentage of funding received this year.
The UNICEF reports, particularly the Flash Update from May 30, 2025, and the recent UN News article, provide more reliable data on funding gaps. While the UNICEF report indicates a 72% funding gap, the UN News report suggests that 34% of the required funding has been secured. These discrepancies indicate that the claim may not be based on the most current or comprehensive data.
The sources used in this analysis are credible, with UNICEF and UNHCR being reputable organizations in humanitarian efforts. However, the lack of a specific reference to the 13% figure in these credible sources suggests that the claim may be misleading or based on outdated information.
Conclusion
Needs Research. The claim that only 13% of requested funding for Chad's refugees has been received this year cannot be substantiated with the available evidence. The data from UNICEF and UNHCR indicates varying percentages of funding received, with no direct support for the 13% figure. Further investigation is required to clarify the current funding status for Chad's refugees and to verify the accuracy of the claim.
