Context

Chad's Ministry of Posts and Digital Economy, together with ADETIC, the UNESCO Chair for Central Africa and the World Bank, launched a free, nationwide AI training programme for young Chadians aged 15 to 35.

Objectives

The programme aimed to build basic AI literacy among youth as a first phase of a broader national digital-transformation drive, open to any Chadian national proficient in French regardless of prior AI knowledge or diploma.

Activities

Announced by the Minister of Digital Economy on 10 July 2025 and launched the following month, training was delivered across all of Chad's provinces, with organisers stating explicit attention to regional equity and gender promotion in selection and delivery.

Results

The first cohort of 2,000 young Chadians completed the programme, marked with a closing and certification ceremony; public reporting documents participation and completion at the cohort level but no skills-assessment or employment-outcome data has been published.

Conclusions

The government frames this cohort as the first phase of a larger digital-transformation effort, though its actual learning impact remains unverified in public sources.
