N’Djamena – World Vision Tchad has rolled out its ambitious 2026-2030 national strategy, marking a significant leap in its commitment to transforming the lives of the country’s youngest citizens. The initiative, unveiled during a high-profile press conference, sets an ambitious target: improving the well-being of 3.29 million children by 2030, including 3.09 million from the most vulnerable communities. The strategy integrates humanitarian aid, sustainable development, and peacebuilding to create lasting impact.
The launch event, held at the Hôtel Résidence de N’Djamena, brought together media representatives, technical and financial partners, and government officials. Central to the strategy is the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus, an integrated approach designed to bridge emergency responses with long-term development and peace consolidation efforts. This method ensures that interventions in health, nutrition, education, child protection, and climate resilience are not only immediate but also sustainable.
Carla Dominique Denizard, Regional Director for World Vision West Africa, based in Dakar, described the strategy as bold and innovative. She emphasized that it aligns with continental and global frameworks, including the African Union’s Agenda 2063, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, and 16), and Chad’s Vision 2030. The focus remains on empowering children in fragile contexts to not only survive but thrive, leveraging strong partnerships, community engagement, and cultural integration.
Édouard Ngoy Wangoy, National Director of World Vision Tchad, hailed the strategy as a historic milestone for the organization and the future of Chadian children. He highlighted that this plan represents a 20% increase in ambition compared to previous cycles, with a clear goal: ensuring that every child in Chad has the opportunity to flourish. The strategy addresses critical areas such as maternal and child health, education through the Unlock Literacy program, child protection from violence, and community resilience against climate change.
Chad faces persistent challenges, including widespread poverty, malnutrition, recurring humanitarian crises, and the severe impacts of climate change. With nearly 42% of the population living below the poverty line, the need for intensified action is urgent. The strategy prioritizes integrated nutrition and health programs, early childhood literacy, and climate adaptation initiatives to build a more resilient future.
In closing, World Vision Tchad’s leadership called for collective action from all national stakeholders—government bodies, technical and financial partners, civil society, religious and community leaders, and the media. The organization stressed that achieving these goals requires unified efforts to turn current challenges into sustainable opportunities for Chadian children. By 2030, World Vision Tchad aims to contribute significantly to the country’s Vision 2030 and the global SDGs, envisioning a nation where every child is protected, nourished, educated, and empowered to reach their full potential.
