Prospective

Chad is the fifth largest African country, with a total land area of 1,259,000 square kilometers. To take advantage of its potential sources of growth, Chad needs to adequately address a series of constraints in order to increase the competitiveness of its supply chains and gain better access to markets. Agricultural producers face a series of economy-wide and value chain-specific constraints that can be grouped into four major categories: (i) inadequate policy and institutional framework (trade policy, market efficiency) and poor services for supporting production and trade (market information, advisory services, finance, value addition, etc.); (ii) poor infrastructure and high cost of public services and utilities (transportation, energy, and water); (iii) limited capacity in the public and private sector to address production and market challenges. Therefore, the project aims at supporting the country to leverage on its potentialities to impact economic growth and rural transformation through (i) the development of market-led production and resilience enhancement, (ii) institutional framework support, capacity building and enabling agribusiness environment and (iii) facilitating Agro-Cluster Development in Chad main agricultural production basins.
