In a global context of ecological crisis, collapse of biodiversity and security crisis in the Lake Chad Basin, the policy of cultural heritage conservation requires the implementation of a plan for the development and management of the cultural landscape in the four states bordering the Lake: Cameroon, Nigeria, Niger and Chad. The objective is that by 2025 the Lake Chad Basin will be a regional integration tool for the countries sharing it, with a view to successful cultural and environmental sustainability.

This management plan aims to consolidate the achievements of an inclusive transboundary management of Lake Chad (which abounds in remarkable natural and cultural potentials and supports about 45 million people) and will be an essential step for UNESCO in order to have Lake Chad, the largest freshwater lake in Africa, recognized as a World Heritage site. This would be the third Chadian site to be inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List (after the Lakes of Ounianga and the Ennedi Massif). An important contribution to peace and lasting stability among all the peoples living around Lake Chad.
