    DRAFT WIDER Development Conference Public economics for development 5-6 July 2017 | Maputo, Mozambique This is a draft version of a conference paper submitted for presentation at UNU-WIDER’s conference, held in Maputo on 5-6 July 2017. This is not a formal publication of UNU-WIDER and may refl ect work-in-progress. THIS DRAFT IS NOT TO BE CITED, QUOTED OR ATTRIBUTED WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM AUTHOR(S). The impact of oil exploitation on wellbeing in Chad Abstract This study assesses the impact of oil revenues on wellbeing in Chad. Data used come from the two last Chad Household Consumption and Informal Sector Surveys ECOSIT 2 & 3 conducted in 2003 and 2011 by the National Institute of Statistics and Demographic Studies. A synthetic index of multidimensional wellbeing (MDW) is first estimated using a multiple components analysis based on a large set of welfare indicators. The Difference-in-Difference approach is then employed to assess the impact of oil revenues on the average MDW at departmental level. Results show that departments receiving intense oil transfers increased their MDW about 35% more than those disadvantaged by the oil revenues redistribution policy. Also, the farther a department is from the capital city N’Djamena, the lower its average MDW. Economic inclusion may be better promoted in Chad if oil revenues fit local development needs and are effectively directed to the poorest departments. Keys words: Poverty, Multidimensional wellbeing, Oil exploitation, Chad, Redistribution policy. JEL Codes: I32, D63, O13, O15 Authors Gadom

  • Chad Food Security Update: July, 2000 Summary 1
    Chad Food Security Update: July, 2000 Summary The month of July was characterized by a satisfactory situation overall, in both the Sudanian and Sahelian zones of Chad. Highly food insecure populations in the Sahelian zone constituted an important exception. People there had to intensify their income-generating activities (such as working for others and selling cattle) in order to buy their basic food staples. The agricultural season is underway, although it started late this year in most cantons compared to last year. Pasture conditions are good in the Sudanian zone while the Sahelian zone only started greening up during the third dekad (10-day period) of July. Livestock health is also good. Millet and sorghum prices remain affordable, although higher than prices last year in the Sahelian zone. Prices in Kanem and parts of Ouaddaï Prefectures in the Sahelian zone increased during the past quarter, though this is normal for the pre-harvest period. 1. Agrometeorological Situation The Inter-topical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) oscillates between 17º N and 19º N, between the cities of Fada and Ounianga Kebir (Borkou and Ennedi Sub-prefectures). Large quantities of rainfall were recorded south of the ITCZ during the third dekad of July, notably in the Sahelian zone. According to the Directorate of Water Resources and Meteorology (DREM), total dekadal rainfall during July was less than the rainfall during the same period last year, except for several rain stations. Rainfall during the third dekad exceeded long-term average levels (1961-1990) in most locations. Satellite images analyzed by FEWS NET/Chad corroborate rain station data showing that third dekad rainfall varied between average and very good in the Sahel and Sudanian zones.

  • Caractéristiques Du Pays Et Méthodologie De L'enquête
    CARACTÉRISTIQUES DU PAYS ET MÉTHODOLOGIE DE L’ENQUÊTE 1 Bandoumal Ouagadjio 1.1 CARACTÉRISTIQUES DU PAYS 1.1.1 Géographie et climat Le Tchad est situé entre les 7e et 24e degrés de latitude Nord et les 13e et 24e degrés de longitude Est. Il couvre une superficie de 1 284 000 km2 ; il est le cinquième pays le plus vaste d’Afrique après le Soudan, l’Algérie, le Zaïre et la Libye. Du Nord au Sud, il s’étend sur 1 700 km et, de l’Est à l’Ouest, sur 1 000 km. Il partage ses frontières avec, au Nord, la Libye, à l’Est, le Soudan, au Sud, la République Centrafricaine et, à l’Ouest, le Cameroun, le Nigeria et le Niger. De par sa position géographique, au Sud du Tropique du Cancer et au cœur du continent africain, le Tchad est marqué par une continentalité accentuée dont l’étranglement économique est l’une des conséquences. En effet, le pays est dépourvu de toute façade maritime. Le port le plus proche est Port Harcourt (Nigéria), à 1 700 km de N’Djaména. Cet enclavement extérieur est accentué par une insuffisance des réseaux routiers qui rend difficile la circulation durant une bonne partie de l’année. Le pays appartient politiquement et économiquement à l’Afrique Centrale, mais en raison des similitudes des conditions climatiques, il est rattaché également aux pays sahéliens. Sur le plan climatique, on distingue trois zones principales : • la zone saharienne qui couvre environ 50 % de la superficie du pays et qui comprend les régions du BET, le nord de la région du Kanem et une partie de la région du Batha.
