The Lake Chad Basin Commission was founded to enable member states to co-ordinate their efforts in managing the use of the lake's resources. The lake Chad Basin Commission is an intergovernmental organization consisting of member states Chad, Cameroon, Niger, Nigeria, and the Central African Republic. The commission was established in 1964 to promote the sustainable development of the Lake Chad Basin and to ensure the fair and equitable use of its resources, including water, fisheries, and grazing lands. The commission is responsible for the management of the lake and the preservation of its ecosystems, and it works to promote regional cooperation and integration among its member states.
