CAADP Compact: Chad signed the CAADP Compact on 16 December 2013, with the aim of transforming agriculture through food and nutrition security, wealth creation, and economic growth to ensure prosperity for all..

Capacity Building: Technical experts were deployed to Chad to undertake independent technical reviews of its National Agricultural Investment Plan (NAIP). 

Results:

• The government of Chad has engaged with CAADP so it can act as a unifying framework for the country’s policies and interventions to boost agricultural productivity.  
• The country’s NAIP was drawn up in 2014 and is currently going through the process of validation.  Chad has many resources that are good for farming including arable land and groundwater supplies.  
• Currently there are some 30 projects and programmes under way to improve the situation in the sector. 
• The ministries associated with rural development are considered priority and have benefited from substantial budget allocations.
• There has also been an increase in funding for the agricultural sector, capacity building of stakeholders and rural development institutions, as well as improved collaboration between all actors involved in rural development.
• Chad has also seen better coordination of agricultural interventions through quarterly meetings between government, technical and financial partners. 

Projects that have had a positive impact in Chad include: 

• Increasing the amount of arable land
• Strengthening the capacities of producers, 
• Infrastructure development (rural roads and access to markets opened up)
• The establishment of 213 micro financing institutions offering products and services to more than 50,000 people
• Strengthening land governance and increasing agricultural production.
