World Vision Tchad Unveils Ambitious 2030 Strategy

The capital city, N’Djamena, witnessed a landmark event today as World Vision Tchad officially launched its 2026-2030 national strategy in a high-profile press conference. The gathering brought together media representatives, technical and financial partners, and national authorities to discuss the organization’s transformative vision for the nation’s future.

Reaching 3.29 Million Children Through Integrated Solutions

The newly unveiled strategy sets an ambitious target: improving the lives of 3.29 million children across the country by 2030, with a special focus on 3.09 million of the most vulnerable young lives. This comprehensive approach combines humanitarian assistance, sustainable development initiatives, and peacebuilding efforts to create lasting change in communities.

A Holistic Approach to Child Well-being

The strategy’s foundation rests on five critical pillars that address the most pressing needs of Tchadian children:

• Health and Nutrition: Strengthening integrated health systems with particular attention to maternal and child health, while combating malnutrition through targeted interventions.
• Quality Education: Implementing the Unlock Literacy program to develop foundational reading skills during early schooling years, ensuring children build strong educational foundations.
• Child Protection: Establishing robust systems to shield children from all forms of violence, exploitation, and abuse while promoting their overall well-being.
• Climate Resilience: Building community capacity to adapt to climate change impacts through sustainable practices and disaster preparedness measures.
• Peace and Social Cohesion: Fostering environments of stability and reconciliation to create safe spaces for children’s growth and development.

Aligning With Continental and Global Development Goals

The strategy doesn’t operate in isolation but aligns closely with Tchad’s Vision 2030 and international development frameworks. It directly supports multiple Sustainable Development Goals (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, and 16) while contributing to the African Union’s Agenda 2063. Key focus areas include human capital development, social protection systems, climate adaptation strategies, and educational improvements.

Leadership Voices on the Strategy’s Potential

Carla Dominique Denizard, World Vision’s Regional Director for West Africa based in Dakar, described the strategy as “bold and innovative,” emphasizing its humanitarian-development-peace nexus approach. She highlighted that this integrated methodology connects emergency response with long-term development and peacebuilding efforts, creating sustainable pathways out of vulnerability.

Édouard Ngoy Wangoy, National Director of World Vision Tchad, called the launch a “historic moment” for the organization and the nation’s children. He noted that this strategy represents a 20% increase in ambition compared to previous cycles, with a clear mission: ensuring every child in Tchad not only survives but thrives. “Our goal is simple yet profound: to unlock the full potential of Tchad’s children by addressing the root causes of their challenges,” Wangoy stated.

Addressing Tchad’s Complex Challenges

The need for such comprehensive intervention is underscored by Tchad’s persistent struggles: extreme poverty affecting 42% of the population, recurrent humanitarian crises, and severe climate change impacts. The strategy responds directly to these realities by combining immediate relief with sustainable solutions that build community resilience.

A Call for Unified Action

World Vision Tchad concluded the launch with a powerful appeal to all national stakeholders. They urged public authorities, technical and financial partners, civil society organizations, religious leaders, and media outlets to join forces in implementing this transformative vision. The organization emphasized that collective mobilization is essential to convert current challenges into sustainable opportunities for Tchad’s children, ensuring they grow up protected, nourished, educated, and empowered to shape their nation’s future.
