The Legal and Institutional Frameworks Governing Sovereign Debt Contraction and Management in Chad
Event Details
THE LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKS GOVERNING SOVEREIGN DEBT CONTRACTION AND MANAGEMENT IN CHAD — Validation Webinar
Register here for the webinar!
AFRODAD, in partnership with the International Lawyers Project (ILP), produced an in‑depth legal study examining Chad’s laws, regulations, and institutions governing sovereign debt contraction and management. The study maps the written legal framework (including national laws and CEMAC sub‑regional rules), identifies roles and powers (notably those of the Ministry of Finance, the National Debt Commission/CONAD, audit institutions, and parliament), and reviews compliance with transparency and reporting obligations. It highlights strengths as well as persistent weaknesses: overlapping institutional mandates, weak parliamentary and audit oversight, inconsistent publication of debt data and sustainability reports, limited enforcement of legal provisions, and risks illustrated by past opaque deals (e.g., oil‑backed loans). The webinar will present these findings for stakeholder validation and to refine recommendations for stronger debt governance, transparency, accountability, and public participation.
Webinar objectives:
- Validate the findings of the study on Chad’s legal and institutional frameworks for sovereign debt contraction and management.
- Assess the adequacy and effectiveness of Chad’s existing legal and institutional frameworks.
- Analyse domestic and external debt contraction and management procedures, with emphasis on compliance gaps.
- Evaluate Chad’s current sovereign debt situation in relation to its governance framework.
- Identify strategies to enhance transparency, accountability, and public participation in debt governance.
- Recommend legal and institutional reforms to strengthen sovereign debt management.
