Chad has adopted a new National Development Plan mobilizing $30 billion in investments.
Called “Chad Connexion 2030”, this plan aims, according to the government, to drive structural transformation of the country by 2030, based on 268 multisectoral projects and reforms.
Recently approved by the Council of Ministers, the plan targets an average annual real GDP growth of 8% between 2025 and 2030, through a multisectoral strategy and large-scale mobilization of both public and private investments totaling $30 billion.
This new strategy is built around four key pillars:
Development of essential infrastructure (electricity, water, transport, digitalization)
Strengthening of social policies (health, education, employment)
Economic diversification (export-oriented industries, agriculture, mining, tourism)
Improvement of the business climate
Among the specific goals set by the plan:
Raise electricity access to 90% in urban areas and 60% nationwide
Provide clean drinking water to an additional 11 million people
Double agricultural production
Cut maternal and neonatal mortality rates in half
Increase primary school enrollment from 43% to 80%
The project also plans to modernize the road network and increase mobile phone penetration to 80%.
The plan is supported by international financial institutions, including the World Bank, the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
