The project Chad Education Sector Reform Project Phase 2 is now in the pipeline. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The development objectives of the Second Phase of the Education Sector Reform Project for Chad are to: 1) improve teaching and learning conditions in primary and upper secondary schools in selected areas; and 2) strengthen the system to facilitate evidence-based decision- making in the education sector. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is improving teaching and learning conditions in primary schools. This component aims to: support improvements in the teaching and learning conditions in selected primary schools through the provision of quality infrastructure and furniture, textbooks, and improvements in teacher development and management; identify possible efficiency gains for the system; and strengthen the national strategies in each of targeted subsectors. The second component of the project is improving teaching and learning in upper secondary schools. This component aims to: support improvements in the teaching and learning conditions of upper secondary schools through the provision of teaching and learning material and in-service training of teachers, with a special focus on scientific disciplines; assess the cost-effectiveness of the interventions; and inform the development of a strong subsector strategy. The third component of the project is project management, monitoring and evaluation. This component will support project implementation by funding the Project Coordination Unit (PCU) coordination needs and by strengthening monitoring, evaluation, and evidence-based management capacities and activities of the Ministry of Basic Education and Literacy (MEFA) and Ministry of Secondary Education and Professional Training (MEFPS).

The development objective of the Emergency Agriculture Production Support Project for Chad is to support communities and producer organizations in increasing (i) the production of selected crops and livestock species in selected areas of the recipient's territory; and (ii) the use of sustainable land and water management practices in climate vulnerable ecosystems. This emergency project paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors to provide an International Development Association (IDA) credit in the amount of US$25.00 million, a Global Environmental Fund (GEF) grant in the amount of US$4,629,629 and a Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) grant in the amount of US$4,629,629 to the project. The credit and grants will help finance the costs associated with addressing food insecurity in the country, which has worsened appreciably in recent months following two years of below-normal agricultural production. The resources will allow the World Bank to respond quickly and directly to the emergency appeal issued in December 2011 by the Republic of Chad. In 2010, a prolonged drought led to widespread crop failures and the loss of large numbers of livestock. In 2011, the delayed onset of the rainy season and significantly below normal precipitation levels led to a steep reduction in planted area and caused production of cereals to fall by nearly 40 percent and production of other food crops to fall by approximately 28 percent. The impacts have been felt most acutely in Sahelian zones, where food production fell by an estimated 56 percent during the recently concluded cropping season, compared to the previous year. The Project will focus on high-potential zones in which significant productivity and production increases are deemed possible or in which food security and poverty challenges are high. In Guera and Salamat, there is considerable potential for increasing production of sorghum, maize, millet, and rain fed rice.

The project Community-Based Ecosystem Management Project has changed to Closed. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The objective of the Community Based Ecosystem Management Project is to restore some of the most fragile ecosystems, by enabling local communities to better fight desertification, rehabilitate degraded lands, and protect biodiversity. The purpose of the restructuring is to extend the closing date of the project. The extension of the closing date will give enough time to the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to complete key activities that are currently under way and without which the project objective cannot be achieved. These activities include: (i) implementation of community-based micro-projects; (ii) elaboration of five ecosystem management schemes; and (iii) preparation of the feasibility study for the establishment of a National Observatory for Chad's Environment Management (ONAREN).

The development objectives of the Second Local Development Program Support Project for Chad are: (i) improved access to basic infrastructure and social services in targeted districts; and (ii) improved planning, management and monitoring by local communities and communes of decentralized investments. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is to support the development of improved technical and fiduciary skills needed at the different decentralized levels and in the national institutions responsible for decentralization. The estimated cost of component one is US$ 12 million. It will include two subcomponents: (i) strengthening capacity of local communities and communes; and (ii) support to decentralization. The second component of the project is decentralized financing of micro-projects. The objective of this component is to increase the availability of basic infrastructures in targeted districts. This component will support targeted financing of demand-driven micro-projects based on Local Development Plans (LDPs) and Annual Investment Plans (AIPs). In addition to those approved during the first phase, all the micro-projects will be identified through participatory processes and included in the integrated LDPs and Communal Development Plans (CDPs). The micro-projects, to be financed through a matching grant (MG) mechanism, will promote access to basic socio-economic services, income-generating activities, and sustainable natural resources management through the adoption of innovative technologies. The third component of the project is project coordination and management. The objective of this component is to support the successful implementation of the project. It will support project coordination and management activities, including: (i) administrative activities; (ii) fiduciary activities including financial management and procurement; (iii) technical execution; (iv) monitoring and evaluation of project performance and impact, including the establishment of a monitoring platform between the MoLMUH (Ministry of Land Management, Urban, and Housing) and the Ministry of Economy and Plan and (v) institutional support to the MoLMUH. The Project Management Unit (PMU) will provide general coordination functions with all national institutions, especially those charged with decentralization, environmental stewardship, and natural resources management.

The Local Development Program Support Project will assist the Government design and implement a decentralized, and participatory financing mechanism, that empowers local communities and decentralized authorities to manage development funds by strengthening capacities, implementing demand-driven subprojects, and, supporting the emerging process of decentralization. To this end, the project components will: 1) provide matching grants to cofinance subprojects proposed by community-based organizations, or decentralized local government entities. This component will finance: a) activities in transport (bridges), education (classrooms), health (health posts, HIV/AIDS prevention and information, personnel training), and water and sanitation (wells); b) management of natural resources activities such as erosion control, tree nurseries, forests management, and alternatives to fuelwood; c) large-scale and more expensive collective infrastructure projects that would affect several villages, or cantons, such as drilling, rural roads, and water supply systems; 2) support capacity building for local development stakeholders, to strengthen the technical and organizational capacity at the community level, for participatory approaches, needs assessments, project management, access to credit, or new poverty reduction behaviors. Given the multisectoral nature of the program, these capacity-building activities shall entail a wide spectrum of sectors including health, environment, education, transport, and energy. This component would be implemented in local languages, and would prioritize the learning-by-doing approach as opposed to the lecture approach. 3) support the implementation of the decentralization policy, through three subcomponents: support to the completion of the legal and regulatory framework of the decentralization process; strengthening of the institutional and technical capacities of key stakeholders of the decentralization process at the national, regional, and local levels; and, support to the land tenure system definition; and, 4) provide project management support to coordinate, and manage project activities, and, ensure the availability of funds. Accounting activities, monitoring and evaluation, and administrative functions will be strongly supported.

The project Population and HIV AIDS Additional Financing has changed to Active. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The development objective of the Additional Financing for the Second Population and AIDS Project is to contribute to changing the behavior of the Chadian populations so that they will adopt behaviors which will reduce the risk of: (i) HIV infection; and (ii) too closely spaced and/or unwanted pregnancies. The additional financing will extend the new integrated and decentralized approach to HIV/AIDS and maternal and child health services in ten health districts in five regions, in addition to the capital city, Ndjamena. This approach decentralizes oversight to local governments, involves community-based organization in service delivery, and expands the use of mobile teams to reach isolated villages. It will also introduce a results-based financing (RBF) approach to improve maternal and child health outcomes that will be piloted in two additional regions. Lastly, the additional financing will strengthen monitoring and evaluation, including data collection, analysis, and the use of national household based surveys, and medical waste management.

The development objective of the proposed Agricultural Services and Producer Organizations Project (ASPOP) is to increase agricultural productivity and rural incomes while preserving the natural resource base. The project has the following three components: Component 1) Promotion of sustainable growth in agricultural production. Under this component, the project finances (a) productive investments to promote processing, and marketing of farm and livestock products. The project finances demand-driven productive investments proposed by producer organizations and the technical assistance required for proper implementation, through a grant system with an up-front farmers' contribution of at least 20% of subproject cost as defined in the Project Implementation Manual, and (b) competitive research as demand-driven subprojects to support short-term (two to three years) applied research aimed at finding solutions to constraints on the productive investment subprojects, both cotton and non-cotton-related. The project complements support from the French Cooperation Agency and ADB. It finances small equipment, inputs, operational costs for the implementation of subprojects, training and study tours, and activities that support effective development of linkages between small farmers and agribusiness. Component 2) will finance jointly with French Cooperation Agency and ADB, (a) capacity strengthening of producer organizations, including cotton producer organizations; (b) specific support to cotton sector reform; and (c) public and private sector development. Component 3) supports: (a) the administration and management of the project, and (b) the monitoring and evaluation of project activities. The component finances the small works and equipment required to establish a National Project Coordination and Management Unit (NPCMU) and six Inter-Regional Coordination and Management Units-IRPCMUs within the Ministry of Agriculture. The component also finances the training of staff and the operating cost of these units the Competitive Research Committee and the Departmental Selection Committees. It also finances studies aimed at addressing unanticipated constraints and opportunities arising from demand-driven subprojects. These studies would cover: (a) identification of crop and livestock development opportunities; (b) identification and use of inputs and agricultural technology needs for a specific region or department; and (c) assessment of the institutional set-up and procedural arrangements and mechanisms for agricultural service centers.
