This study looks at the territorial approach adopted by the RESILAC project and its impact at different levels. It explores the polysemous notion of ‘territory’ in the societies of the Lake Chad Basin, particularly in terms of ownership and representation, and the processes that contribute to these. Territorialising’ humanitarian and development aid, or, in other words, placing local actors at the centre of projects, requires ambitious strategies. Though, by definition, territorial approaches are not prescriptive, they require tools and methods to identify each territorial actor and assess their legitimacy in the local public context.Thomas Foin, Lisa Daoud, Dr. Harold Gael Njouonang Djomo, Kalilou Seydou Moussa & Allah-Kauis Neneck
