Overview

The President of the Republic of Chad wants to make Chad "an emerging regional power to the 2025 horizon, driven by diversified and sustainable sources of growth, creators of jobs, and ensuring that every Chadian has adequate access to basic social services, decent housing and an adequate supply of training. "This" Vision 2025 "looks very ambitious when compared to Chad's current situation and reputation: a country emerging from a very long civil war that paralyzed any attempt at sustainable development, is shaken recurrent food crises and pervasive poverty. And a country that is ranks at the bottom of international indices on business climate and governance.

However, there is another Chad that is emerging that is more in tune with the vision of the President of the country. It is the country which, finally at peace, invests the revenues of its new resources in schools and universities, hospitals, roads and agro-pastoral equipment, and which creates decentralized democratic institutions. For the first time in recent history, the Government puts the private sector and foreign trade at the center of its concerns in its National Development Plan 2013 - 2015. The explanation is convincing: the oil industry will end one day and is not already creating enough jobs for the youth who has higher aspirations than previous generations because she is better educated. The engine of development must be diversified with production and exports, the on-site resource transformation and significant investment outside the sector foreign oil companies, Chadian contractors and the State.

Accommodation

 

The role of tourist establishments in the economic development of Chad is considered as crucial, the country wishing to engage in a process of promotion and development of ecotourism, legitimate wish since the country is today almost empty. Although hotel capacity has more than doubled between 2009 and 2012, it has only increased from 25 to 81 hotels/ Guest Houses/ Lodges. 62 of them are located in N'Djamena and 19 are located in the main cities of the country (Moundou, Sarh, Doba and Abéché). Five international channels are present in N'Djamena: Kempinski, Novotel La Tchadienne, Le Meridien Chari, the Hilton and the Radisson. When big meetings happen in the city, N'Djamena cannot accommodate the participants who take part by lack of appropriate rooms to hold the clientele.

The hostels are more numerous than the hotels but have a capacity of reception lower; this is partly due to the fact that the construction investment is less, the capacity of a hostel cannot exceed 12 rooms, the amount of different taxes is less high and provides a better break-even point. There are theoretically 5 camps but in reality, only that of Bahr Tinga, managed by African Parks Network in the Park National Zakouma, works. Today, without a structured offer, the price of rooms and associated benefits in the capital and in the provinces, is very high, which considerably stop national tourism.

Around tourist sites, there are almost no accommodation establishments nor restaurant. There are only 52 restaurants in the city of N'Djamena, and another 14 are in the main cities of the country.

Chadian tourism continues to be heavily penalized by land tenure issues, taxation, the financing of new infrastructures and vocational training. He suffers concentration of promotional and servicing efforts on a single tourist theme, the BET. To enable Chad to build a plural offer and attract different types of tourists, it is also important to diversify the existing offer, through products and innovative activities and valuing local wealth.

Electricity and Power

Chad has a large deficit in the production of electricity and continues to depend on diesel fuel for most of the electricity produced in the country. But this situation is changing with investment in power plants

solar photovoltaic. In N'Djamena and elsewhere, investments in power plants and electricity distribution networks are under way to alleviate this situation.

Chad has significant potential for renewable energy, which needs to be developed to national development service. Chad also has natural gas deposits that are starting to be exploited. The prices of electricity are very high, but with the Djermaya refinery and the projects of modernization and expansion of electricity distribution networks in N'Djamena and in some cities, the price of the diesel that supplies these plants has to go down. It remains to be seen whether production meets national demand.

The Ministry of Oil and Energy recognizes the importance of renewable energies but lack of capacity for the implementation of the projects developed in the Master Plan of the energy sector. It also suffers from a lack of modern tools of management and organization, because of the Ministry's very low level of computerization and the lack of reliable connectivity and broadband Internet. The human capacity of the Department suffers accordingly. The creation of a Renewable Energy Development Agency is planned.

A master plan guides the development of the electric power sector. This scheme is complete, with the exception of issues relating to energy efficiency and type "cleantech." Interconnection of Central African countries evolves through the "Pool Central Africa", but the electrical integration seems more dynamic in other sub regions of Africa. The legal texts for the organization of the sector in Chad are in Review. The regulator will be part of the Ministry and will not be autonomous. The policies of the Government give a role to private operators in the production and distribution of electrical energy, which will encourage investors. The electricity market in Chad is therefore open.

Other Locations

Region(s)

Service Location(s)

All banks headquartered in N'Djamena have branches in all regions and major cities of Chad.

The banches offer the same services as the headquarters based in the capital city of Chad.

Clearing and Forwarding Agents

Customs approved agents are usually the real one’s supply chain organizers. They are auxiliaries of the administration Customs, and handle all customs clearance procedures. When they get a door to door contract, they are called freight forwarders, having previously obtained a license from the CEMAC, as a condition sine qua non for the exercise of their activity. Transit structures more important are present throughout the chain (under other trades such as shipowners, stevedores, etc.) and to the main links such as ports and/or logistics. These are structures of Cameroonian or Chadian law based in Cameroon with or without a representative office in either country. Within the enclosure of the Nguéli platform, office spaces were set up for the transit facilities, to facilitate collaboration with other actors, especially customs through a continuous presence.

According to the customs services, there are more than 125 entities, including nearly 10% of the volume of transit transactions and more than 90% of the value corresponding. The rest of the agents are of varying sizes, with or without offices. The subcontracting in the form of collaboration between them in customs clearance and transit is a regular practice. It is mainly the custom agents to use the forwarding agent for the signature and validation of the final documents of the customs clearance, after the C&F agent has conducted all the antecedent steps of the custom process.

Handling Equipment

The market is supplied with handling and/or heavy equipment but the only providers known is Bollore Africa Logistics with one crane of 60 Mt and different size of forklifts 4, 12 and 12 Mt if needed to rent. Other providers are selling equipment only.

Chad custom has just received four mobile scanners. Training for 21 agents is on-going.

Postal and Courier Services

The postal system offers express mail service along with the international courier service (EMS), but domestic service is unreliable. Utilities are expensive and unreliable in the capital and practically non-existent in the rest of the country.

Printing and Publishing

Several companies in the country mainly in Ndjamena.

Taxi Companies

Taxi, Moto-Taxis, Bus & 4X4

  • Taxis in N'Djamena

Compared to those of the West, taxis in Chad are extremely cheap but they are not in a very good condition. For public races, the price is 250 F CFA = 0.38 Euro. And for private races, the price is negotiable, it varies from 1500 to 2500 F CFA = 3 to 4 €.

  • Motorcycle taxis

Moto-Taxis (commonly known as "Clando") are more concentrated in the southern cities of the country. Their prices are cheaper than those of taxis car. We can distinguish them from other bikers wearing their yellow "jackets" which have the name of their municipality, their name and number.

  • For inter-urban links

Buses and 4x4 travel in all interurban areas. The "Voyageur Stations" are open from 07:30 to 18:00. It is not necessary to book a ticket in advance. The price of transport varies from 1000 F CFA to 35 000 F CFA (=> 1.50 Euro to 53 Euro). The price never exceeds 35,000 FCFA for traveling.
