Resumen
Descripción
This poverty assessment aims to
inform poverty-focused policymaking in Chad. The report
examines recent trends in poverty, inequality, and other
social indicators and identifies key constraints on poverty
reduction. Although agriculture, pastoralism, and related
activities provide livelihoods for about 80 percent of the
population, the capital-intensive oil sector drives
macroeconomic growth, exports, and fiscal revenues.
Eliminating poverty and boosting shared prosperity in Chad
will require robust and sustained interventions along three
strategic axes: (i) economic diversification, with a focus
on the rural sector; (ii) building resilience to
multidimensional shocks; and (iii) accelerating human
capital formation. Chad faces enormous challenges, and the
effectiveness of its poverty reduction efforts will hinge on
factors that extend beyond economic policy, including the
reestablishment of peace and security through improved
governance, as well as a comprehensive effort to address the
country’s profound gender disparities.
