- Chad’s chronic instability has hindered growth and poverty reduction.
- The global financial crisis affected Chad mainly through the decline in oil prices.

### Food security and agriculture
- Prompt reaction to the pressing food shortage needs to be complemented by measures to increase agriculture productivity.
- Policy emphasis: combine immediate food relief with medium-term interventions to raise agricultural productivity.

### Fiscal policy and public financial management
- The government should adopt a supplementary budget that reduces the non-oil primary deficit while accommodating priority spending.
- Improving public financial management is identified as the key reform priority to support fiscal consolidation and effective use of resources.
