Chad Digital Transformation Project

active

The proposed project is designed to address key bottlenecks to enable digital transformation in Chad through mutually reinforcing components, with a additional component dedicated to contingent response to future eligible emergencies. Project activities will seek to (i) strengthen the institutional, strategic, legal, regulatory, and policy frameworks; (ii) expand broadband access, particularly in rural areas; (iii) increase connectivity and digital capabilities of public institutions; (iv) support the development of e-government foundations; (v) increase digitization of payments and financial inclusion; and (vi) provide institutional coordination, project management support and knowledge transfer. The proposed project is conceived in alignment with the Paris Agreement and would incorporate appropriate climate adaptation measures and mitigation solutions. All activities of the project will apply the Maximizing Finance for Development (MFD) principles, ensuring that public interventions lay foundations for the private sector to grow.
