The Problems

– **Limited Access to Education**: Access to quality education is a major challenge for youth in Chad. Many young Chadians, particularly those in rural areas and from marginalized communities, face barriers such as lack of schools, qualified teachers, and educational resources. As a result, literacy rates remain low, and many youth are unable to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge for employment and personal development.

– **High Unemployment and Underemployment**: Chad experiences high rates of youth unemployment and underemployment. Limited job opportunities, particularly in the formal sector and a rapidly growing youth population, contribute to widespread economic insecurity and social instability. Many young Chadians are forced to work in the informal economy or rely on subsistence agriculture, where incomes are often insufficient to meet basic needs.

– Political Instability and Conflict**: Chad has faced decades of political instability, internal conflicts, and regional insecurity, profoundly affecting youth. The volatile political situation, coupled with recurrent humanitarian crises, displacement, and violence, disrupts education, exacerbates poverty, and undermines prospects for social and economic development. Young people are particularly vulnerable to recruitment by armed groups, further perpetuating cycles of conflict and instability.

– Addressing these critical issues requires comprehensive strategies and investments in education, employment opportunities, peacebuilding, and youth empowerment. Improving access to quality education, vocational training, and skills development programs can enhance young people’s employment and economic participation prospects. Additionally, promoting political stability, conflict resolution, and social cohesion are essential for creating an enabling environment for youth development and fostering peace and prosperity in Chad.
