Abstract
Chad is among the poorest countries in
the world. Around 55 percent of the population lives below
the poverty line and about 36 percent of the population
lives in extreme poverty. The opportunity to reduce
widespread poverty provided by the dramatic increase in
revenues has been, however, mostly missed to date.
Chad's first National Poverty Reduction Strategy (NPRS
- I) was adopted in June 2003, aiming towards a 50 percent
cut in poverty by 2015. The objective of this report is to
examine to what extent oil revenues have been used to
achieve stated government priorities. It will examine the
particular challenges that Chad faces in the management and
use of its oil revenues, and provide suggestions on how oil
resources might be better leveraged to achieve the
country's development goals.
