Chad
The project will conduct a study on the dimensions and scope of remittances in Chad to contribute to informed decision-making that will enable the government to identify next steps to utilize remittances as a tool to support the national development efforts. As the first study of its kind, the study will address significant information gaps currently preventing evidence-based decision-making in this context. The information produced from this intervention, will also aid in identifying current challenges and potential opportunities to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment in the economic context. Through the development of a final report, including tailored recommendations for stakeholders, the establishment of an inter-disciplinary committee, the creation of a road map to guide future efforts and a guide for Ambassadors on remittances, the intervention will enhance the Government of Chad’s ability to utilize remittances for development, ultimately aiding in finding sustainable solutions to improve the livelihood of its citizens.
