The Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) Governors’ Forum stands out as a genuine regional initiative amongst affected territories in the Lake Chad Basin region to promote regional dialogue and draw lessons on cross-cutting transnational challenges and coordinate joint actions and solutions.

The forum is committed to promoting dialogue and cross-border cooperation; enhancing cross-border security cooperation, and facilitating cross-border trade and economic recovery to boost livelihoods.

The third edition which was organized in collaboration with the Governors of the affected territories and the Government of the Republic of Cameroon took place in Yaoundé Cameroon from 04 - 05 October 2021.

It provided an opportunity to build on the achievements since May 2018 to strengthen regional and cross-border cooperation in the fight against insurgency and terrorism in the region.
