Strengthening environmental stewardship in Chad has reached a pivotal milestone with the launch of a nationwide campaign to implement Law No. 023. This legislative framework, bolstered by international partnerships and localized outreach, represents a shift from abstract policy to community-led conservation.

Adopted as part of Chad’s broader “Vision 2030,” Law No. 023 serves as a comprehensive update to the country’s environmental governance. It addresses the legal gaps found in earlier versions of the Forestry and Water Codes, providing a more robust basis for pollution control, conservation, and the sustainable use of natural resources, responding to persistent environmental challenges such as deforestation, land degradation, and unmanaged waste. 

To translate policy into meaningful action, the government is placing public awareness at the center of implementation. In January 2026, the Ministry of Environment, Fisheries, and Sustainable Development launched an ambitious national campaign focused on strengthening legal literacy and accelerating local capacity. The initiative will be rolled out across multiple regions, with particular emphasis on environmentally vulnerable areas where ecosystem decline directly impacts food security, public health, and economic stability.

Through regional workshops, educational materials, community radio programming, and stakeholder consultations, the campaign aims to build understanding of the law while encouraging active community participation in environmental protection. By connecting legal frameworks with local realities, the government seeks to foster long-term compliance and shared responsibility.

Inclusivity remains a cornerstone of the effort. Outreach strategies are designed to engage traditional leaders, youth, women’s groups, and civil society organizations as key partners in promoting sustainable practices. Information will be delivered through accessible channels, including radio, print media, and digital platforms, to ensure that communities across the country can engage with and benefit from the initiative.
