Country Context After over four decades of armed conflict and socio-political instability, Chad is experiencing peace again. This positive development and the implementation of measures and reforms under economic and financial programmes supported by the international community have helped the country to achieve remarkable economic and financial results. Chad achieved compliance with EITI standards in October 2014 and reached the HIPC initiative completion point in end-April 2015. Nevertheless, there are still major challenges rooted in persistent economic and climatic fragility. Real GDP, driven essentially by the oil and agricultural sectors, practically doubled from 4.5% in 1990-2003 to 9.4% in 2004-2012 on average, and stood at 6.2% in 2015. This level of growth will be hard to maintain in 2015 due to the general weakening of economic activity attributable to the sharp decline in oil prices. This growth is also not evenly distributed and has not yielded much progress in social terms. The hotspots of conflict along the country’s borders and the attendant harmful consequences are likely to compromise this new- found stability. Nonetheless, it is worth stressing the fact that the apparent general consensus around the introduction of biometry in the counting of votes within the framework of negotiations between the Government and the opposition, under the auspices of the UNDP and the support of technical and financial partners, should allow for the organisation of transparent presidential, legislative and municipal elections in 2016. Hence, this consensus will contribute to strengthening the peaceful climate and favour the smooth implementation of the Bank’s assistance strategy in Chad over the 2015-2020 period. 2. Development Challenges Chad is plagued by situations of fragility, including:

  • Factors Determining Water Treatment Behavior for the Prevention of Cholera in Chad
    Am. J. Trop. Med. Hyg., 93(1), 2015, pp. 57–65 doi:10.4269/ajtmh.14-0613 Copyright © 2015 by The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Factors Determining Water Treatment Behavior for the Prevention of Cholera in Chad Jonathan Lilje,* Hamit Kessely, and Hans-Joachim Mosler Eawag: Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, Du¨bendorf, Switzerland; Centre de Support en Sante´ Internationale (CSSI), N’Djamena, Chad Abstract. Cholera is a well-known and feared disease in developing countries, and is linked to high rates of morbidity and mortality. Contaminated drinking water and the lack of sufficient treatment are two of the key causes of high transmission rates. This article presents a representative health survey performed in Chad to inform future intervention strategies in the prevention and control of cholera. To identify critical psychological factors for behavior change, structured household interviews were administered to N = 1,017 primary caregivers, assessing their thoughts and attitudes toward household water treatment according to the Risk, Attitude, Norm, Ability, and Self-regulation model. The intervention potential for each factor was estimated by analyzing differences in means between groups of current performers and nonperformers of water treatment. Personal risk evaluation for diarrheal diseases and particularly for cholera was very low among the study population. Likewise, the perception of social norms was found to be rather unfavorable for water treatment behaviors. In addition, self-reported ability estimates (self-efficacy) revealed some poten- tial for intervention. A mass radio campaign is proposed, using information and normative behavior change techniques, in combination with community meetings focused on targeting abilities and personal commitment to water treatment.
