Chad

Chad introduced laws on work injury, sickness and maternity, old age, disability and survivors as part of the social insurance system before independence in 1960. In 2010, a social assistance programme named the N’Djamena Nadif (Clean N’Djamena) was introduced by the central mayor’s office. N’Djamena Nadif is a labour-intensive public works programme that aims to improve the living conditions of the capital city’s residents by putting in place an effective system to clean the streets and public market places as well as a garbage collection system, targeting women as participants. However, the local authorities could not maintain this programme and it is currently not operational.
