World vision Tchad’s bold 2030 strategy to transform children’s lives

World Vision Tchad has unveiled an ambitious five-year strategy aimed at reshaping the future of the country’s youngest generations. The initiative, spanning 2026 to 2030, sets a bold target to improve the lives of 3.29 million children across the nation, with a special focus on 3.09 million of the most vulnerable youth.

A three-pillar approach to lasting change

The strategy is built on an integrated model that merges humanitarian aid, sustainable development, and peacebuilding efforts. World Vision Tchad believes this humanitarian-development-peace nexus will create a more resilient foundation for children to thrive, not just survive. Key areas of intervention include health, nutrition, education, child protection, and climate resilience.

Regional leadership highlights the vision

The launch event, held in N’Djamena, brought together media representatives, financial partners, government officials, and community leaders. Carla Dominique Denizard, West Africa Regional Director of World Vision, described the strategy as both daring and forward-thinking. She emphasized the need to connect emergency responses with long-term development and peace efforts, ensuring that children in Chad can experience abundance and fulfillment.

Denizard also pointed to the broader challenges facing the region, including insecurity, extreme poverty, climate change, and large-scale displacement. She underscored that World Vision’s approach aligns with Africa’s Agenda 2063 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly targets related to poverty eradication, health, education, gender equality, clean water, climate action, and peace.

Chad’s path to sustainable progress

Édouard Ngoy Wangoy, National Director of World Vision Tchad, called the strategy a historic milestone for the organization and for the nation’s children. He noted that this plan represents a 20% increase in the organization’s reach compared to its previous strategic cycle. “Our goal is clear: every child in Chad must not only survive but flourish,” he stated.

Wangoy outlined the key priorities of the 2026–2030 strategy, including integrated nutrition and health programs with a strong focus on maternal and child health, the Unlock Literacy initiative to improve early reading skills, comprehensive child protection measures, and community-based climate adaptation programs.

He stressed that nearly 42% of Chad’s population lives below the poverty line, reinforcing the urgency of targeted interventions for the most marginalized communities. The strategy also aligns with Chad’s Vision 2030, aiming to build a society where every child is protected, well-nourished, educated, and empowered.

A call for collective action

At the end of the presentation, World Vision Tchad’s leadership issued an appeal to all national stakeholders. Officials, technical partners, civil society groups, religious and community leaders, and the media were urged to collaborate closely to ensure the strategy’s success. The organization emphasized that only through united efforts can current challenges be transformed into sustainable opportunities for Chad’s children.
