More than 150,000 people in Chad have been helped with lifesaving UK<\/a> aid, including emergency food supplies, funded by \u00a34.4 million recovered in a corruption case by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).<\/p>\n

The money was recovered from a series of corrupt transactions involving personnel and companies connected to staff at the Chadian Embassy in Washington, United States, and was the first time the UK has agreed to channel money from a civil corruption case into critical global aid projects.<\/p>\n

The funding has gone to support vulnerable people in Chad – which has one of the highest levels of hunger in the world – with food rations, cash assistance and medical support.<\/p>\n

UK Minister for Africa, Vicky Ford said \u201cWe have ensured money recovered from corrupt deals has gone into providing life-saving support to more than 150,000 vulnerable people in Chad.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with our partners around the world, the UK will always stand against corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

The funds have also been used to support Chad\u2019s COVID-19 response and to provide vital humanitarian assistance to over 150,000 people, including malnourished children, through partners on the ground such as WFP, ICRC and UNICEF.<\/p>\n

In addition, UK aid through CARE International, provided cash assistance to 1,600 households, allowing them to buy vital supplies like food and shelter materials, and improved access to safe water for 10,500 people.<\/p>\n

During the pandemic, the funds went towards the deployment of a UK Emergency Medical Team (UK EMT) of 7 medical experts to 2 hospitals in N\u2019Djamena, Chad\u2019s capital city.<\/p>\n

While there, they supported the care of critical patients from COVID-19 and helped to train local medical staff on how to treat people with the virus, as well as high quality sanitation and hygiene practices to reduce its spread.<\/p>\n

On top of this, further support to local NGOs reached over 1 million people to reduce the spread of COVID-19, including the distribution of vital protective clothing and medical kits provided to more than 10,000 people.<\/p>\n

When the \u00a34.4 million profits from the illegal share deals entered the UK\u2019s jurisdiction, the SFO began civil recovery proceedings and the resulting funds have now been diverted to aid projects since 2018 to help the most vulnerable people in Chad.<\/p>\n

Director of the UK\u2019s Serious Fraud Office, Lisa Osofsky said \u201cWe are both proud and delighted that illicit funds recovered by the Serious Fraud Office have now been redistributed to the people of Chad.\u201d<\/p>\n

The money we seized has rightly been spent on much-needed humanitarian aid projects, rather than lining the pockets of corrupt officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur dedicated staff are experts in their field, working tirelessly to recoup the ill-gotten gains of criminals and deliver justice for victims \u2013 wherever they may be.\u201d<\/p>\n
