The Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC or CBLT, Commission du Bassin du Lac
Tchad, in French) is an intergovernmental organization that oversees water and
other natural resource usage in the basin. The organization's secretariat is
located in N'Djamena, Chad. Hydrologically, the Chad Basin (not all of which
feeds Lake Chad) includes eight countries, which, in descending area of land,
included are: Chad, Niger, the Central African Republic, Nigeria, Sudan,
Algeria, and Libya.
Cameroon, Niger, Nigeria and Chad (the four countries
directly containing parts of Lake Chad and its wetlands) signed the Fort Lamy
(today N'Djamena) Convention on May 22, 1964, which created the Lake Chad Basin
Commission. The Central African Republic joined in 1996, and Libya joined in
2008.
