Since independence in 1960 Chad has suffered from sporadic political violence and ongoing tensions between different factions. The country's fragile security has been further compromised by interference from neighboring states and spillover effects from regional conflicts. However, after rebel attacks in 2008 and 2009, and following the recent conclusion of a peace agreement between Chad and Sudan, the security situation in the country has remained relatively calm, presenting a valuable window of opportunity for development efforts to take root. The objective of this Poverty Note is to examine changes in poverty and inequality in Chad since the emergence of the oil sector. It will focus on the evolution of poverty indicators from the 2003 pre-oil baseline captured in the Chadian Household Consumption and Informal Sector Survey, or ECOSIT2 to the more recent findings of the 2011 ECOSIT3 and compare current monetary and nonmonetary poverty conditions in Chad with those of comparable countries. It will go on to assess the impact of oil production on the non-oil sectors of the Chadian economy. Finally, it will evaluate the extent to which public expenditures in the social sectors benefit the poor by analyzing the progressivity of social spending.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSOLUTE POVERTYACCESS TO ELECTRICITYACCESS TO PRIMARY EDUCATIONACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATERACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONSAGEDAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTANIMAL HUSBANDRYANIMAL TRACTIONANNUAL GROWTHAVERAGE INCOMEBASIC HEALTHBASIC HEALTH SERVICESBENEFICIARY PARTICIPATIONBIRTH RATECAPITAL ACCUMULATIONCAPITAL INVESTMENTCASH-CROPCHANGES IN POVERTYCHILD MORTALITYCHILDBIRTHCHRONIC MALNUTRITIONCLEAN DRINKING WATERCLEAN WATERCLINICSCOMMUNITY HEALTHCONFLICTCONSUMPTION EXPENDITURECONSUMPTION EXPENDITURESCONSUMPTION GROWTHCOTTON PRODUCTIONCROP PRODUCTIONDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT EFFORTSDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT INDICATORSDISTRIBUTIONAL CHANGESDISTRIBUTIONAL EFFECTSDOMESTIC EMPLOYMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEPIDEMICSEXTREME POVERTYFAMILY PLANNINGFARMERSFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFOOD BASKETFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD EXPENDITUREFOOD EXPENDITURESFOOD GOODSFOOD INSECURITYFOOD ITEMSFOOD POVERTYFOOD POVERTY LINEFOOD PRICESGEOGRAPHIC REGIONGINI COEFFICIENTGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHEADCOUNT POVERTYHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH INDICATORSHIGH POPULATION DENSITYHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTION PER CAPITAHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEXHUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORTSHYGIENEILLITERACYIMMUNODEFICIENCYIMPACT ON POVERTYIMPACT ON POVERTY REDUCTIONINCIDENCE ANALYSISINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINCOME GAPINCOME GROUPSINCOME GROWTHINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINEQUALITYINEQUALITY DYNAMICSINFANT MORTALITYINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINTERNATIONAL POVERTY LINELABOR FORCELACK OF EDUCATIONLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSLOW POVERTY RATEMALNUTRITIONMATERNAL MORTALITYMEAN GROWTHMEDICINESMEDIUM TERMMIGRATIONMORBIDITYNATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY HEADCOUNTNATIONAL POVERTY LINENATIONAL POVERTY RATENURSESPATIENTSPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOORPOOR PEOPLEPOOR POPULATIONPOPULATION SHAREPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY CHANGEPOVERTY CHANGESPOVERTY DYNAMICSPOVERTY ESTIMATESPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY GAP INDEXPOVERTY HEADCOUNT INDEXPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATEPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATESPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY INDEXPOVERTY INDEXESPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPOVERTY-GROWTH-INEQUALITY TRIANGLEPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRO-POORPRODUCER ORGANIZATIONSPRODUCTION VOLUMESPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC SPENDINGRAPID GROWTHREDUCTION IN POVERTYREFORM PROGRAMREFUGEESREGION-SPECIFIC PRICESREGIONAL AVERAGEREGIONAL CONFLICTSREGIONAL DEFLATORSREGIONAL DISPARITIESREGIONAL VARIATIONSRELATIVE CONTRIBUTIONRURALRURAL AREASRURAL ECONOMYRURAL FAMILIESRURAL INCOMESRURAL PHENOMENONRURAL POORRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POPULATIONSRURAL POVERTYRURAL POVERTY INCIDENCERURAL POVERTY RATESRURAL POVERTY REDUCTIONRURAL PROVINCESRURAL SECTORRURAL WATERRURAL WORKERSSANITATIONSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOLINGSECTOR ACTIVITIESSMALLHOLDER FARMSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL SPENDINGSQUARED POVERTY GAPSUSTAINABLE POVERTYSUSTAINABLE POVERTY REDUCTIONSUSTAINABLE RURAL DEVELOPMENTTARGETINGUNDERSTANDING OF POVERTYURBAN AREASURBAN GROWTHURBAN POORURBAN POVERTYVIOLENCEVULNERABLE GROUPSWATER SOURCESWELFARE IMPACT10.1596/19322
