Chad: Conclusion

The document identifies key constraints to Chad's development, including insecurity, overreliance on oil, and climate change. It recommends a multi-sectoral approach involving governance reform, non-oil revenue mobilization, agricultural productivity increases, infrastructure development, human capital strengthening, demographic transition, climate risk management, and economic diversification.

• Chad's economic fragility and lack of inclusive growth are driven by several interlinked constraints: insecurity, a heavy reliance on oil exports, climate change and variability, low agricultural productivity, weak governance, a poor business environment, infrastructure shortages, and limited human capital.
• To address economic instability and falling oil revenues, the report suggests enhancing non-oil revenue through a digitized tax collection system, streamlined business registration, and simplified tax laws to reduce the informal sector and corruption.
• Agricultural productivity can be improved by investing in R&D and providing farmers with credit guarantees and seedlings that are resistant to disease and drought. Additionally, a national land policy is recommended to manage intercommunal conflicts over land, water, and natural resources.
• The report recommends improving infrastructure through public-private partnerships and deploying renewable energy via off-grid and mini-grid solutions to provide electricity to remote areas.
• Chad is vulnerable to droughts and floods that impact agricultural productivity; therefore, the government should invest in early warning systems, natural hazard prevention, and agricultural adaptation measures.
