| Description : |
Chad is among the countries with the lowest human development in the world (ranked 171st out of 177 according to a UNDP report of 2006). This development is seriously hampered by a very difficult access to energy: electricity tariffs averaging 50$/kWh and an energy supply dominated by firewood (96.5% of the total energy consumption of the country) harvested in overexploited forests. Overall objective : The project aims at improving the conditions of life of Chad’s population through better access to energy and essential services, lowering of electricity tariffs, creation of income and employment generating activities and reduction of environmental threats, especially deforestation, all of these through a more efficient action of the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME). |
