Les Documents de Programme-Pays sont des outils stratégiques destinés à guider toutes les activités d’ONU-HABITAT au cours d’une période de deux ans. L’un des principaux aspects de ces documents correspond à la mission d’ONU-HABITAT, à savoir la maîtrise de l’expansion urbaine et les défis qu’elle pose aux pays en développement.

Chaque Document de Programme-Pays recense les priorités nationales en matière de développement urbain, notamment dans les domaines du logement et de la bonne gouvernance urbaine, ainsi que de l’accès aux services de base et au crédit.

Overview

The United Nations Human Settlements Programme "UN-HABITAT" has been collaborating with the Government of the Republic of Chad for 20 years. This collaboration has led to initiatives such as the Urban Development and Housing Improvement Project (DURAH) set up in 2004, which has made it possible to initiate a real policy dynamic to promote the sector; the creation of SOPROFIM in 2009 with the aim of improving urban housing and resolving the land question. In 2015, the "Banque de l'Habitat" was created and approved by COBAC in 2017. 

The main areas of cooperation between Chad and UN-Habitat comprise urban development, legislation, social housing production, urban resilience and institutional capacity development.

UN-Habitat’s work in the country

UN-Habitat’s Country Programme in Chad is based on a solid partnership with all relevant public institutions and key stakeholders, including community-based organizations, NGOs and the private sector. Women and the youth are considered key players and are frequently consulted and responsible for the urban agenda in the country. Academia and educational institutions are also considered important partners.

Overview

In Chad, only a small fraction of the urban population has access to decent housing and drinking water. A large majority are flood victims during the rainy season, and face day-to-day insalubrious conditions due to poor management of household human waste and wastewater, particularly in the outlying districts inhabited by the poor. Today, the aspirations of Chadians, expressed in the 2030 vision "The Chad We Want", demonstrates the willpower of Chad: "An emerging regional power by 2030, driven by diversified and sustainable sources of growth, creating added value and jobs, and ensuring that each Chadian has adequate access to basic social services, decent housing and adequate training opportunities". 

Urban numbers
According to the United Nations Population Division, this population will increase to 27.5 per cent in 2030 and 39 per cent in 2050
Refugees and displaced persons from neighbouring countries fleeing armed conflict represent 302,675, or 84 per cent of the international migrant population in Chad.
Urban Population (2018): 23.1%
Urban Growth Rate (2015-2020): 3.88%
