World Vision Tchad’s 2030 Vision: A Transformative Plan for Child Well-being

World Vision Tchad has unveiled its ambitious strategic roadmap for 2026-2030, setting out to transform the lives of 3.29 million children across the nation. The comprehensive plan integrates emergency aid, sustainable development, and peace-building initiatives to create lasting change for vulnerable communities.

A Groundbreaking Approach to Child Protection and Development

The launch event held in N’Djamena brought together media representatives, technical partners, financial backers, and national authorities to discuss this pivotal initiative. World Vision Tchad’s new strategy targets not only survival but thriving for every child, with special focus on 3.09 million of the most at-risk youngsters.

Carla Dominique Denizard, West Africa Regional Director for World Vision, described the plan as “bold and visionary.” At its core lies the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus, a framework designed to bridge emergency responses with long-term stability and peace-building efforts. “Children in Chad deserve abundant lives,” she stated, emphasizing the need for robust partnerships, community engagement, and cultural sensitivity in implementation.

Aligning with Continental and Global Goals

This strategy doesn’t operate in isolation. It directly supports Chad’s Vision 2030, the African Union’s Agenda 2063, and multiple Sustainable Development Goals (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, and 16). The plan prioritizes human capital development, social protection systems, climate adaptation, and education through the Unlock Literacy program – an initiative focused on early reading skills.

“Our region faces immense challenges,” Denizard noted, citing insecurity, multidimensional poverty, climate change effects, and massive population displacements. “This integrated approach is our answer to creating sustainable opportunities where children can not just survive, but flourish.”

A 20% Increase in Ambition

Édouard Ngoy Wangoy, National Director of World Vision Tchad, called the launch a “historic milestone.” He revealed that this strategy represents a 20% increase in ambition over the previous cycle, with the organization now committed to reaching 3.29 million children by 2030. “Our vision is simple yet daring: every child in Chad should have the chance to not just survive, but to thrive,” he declared.

He painted a stark picture of current challenges: persistent poverty affecting 42% of Chad’s population, recurrent humanitarian crises, and climate change impacts. “These realities demand intensified action,” Wangoy emphasized, “particularly for our most vulnerable communities.”

Five Strategic Pillars for Transformation

The 2026-2030 strategy rests on five key pillars:

• Integrated Nutrition and Health: With special attention to maternal and child health services
• Education Revolution: Through the Unlock Literacy program to boost early reading proficiency
• Child Protection: Shielding children from all forms of violence
• Climate Resilience: Strengthening community adaptation to environmental changes
• Cross-Sector Collaboration: Fostering partnerships across all development sectors

A Collective Call to Action

Following the strategy presentation, World Vision Tchad’s leadership extended a formal invitation to all national stakeholders. They urged government authorities, technical partners, civil society organizations, religious and community leaders, and media representatives to join forces in implementing this transformative plan.

“Collective mobilization is non-negotiable if we want to turn current challenges into sustainable opportunities,” the team stated. “Together, we can build a Chad where every child is protected, well-nourished, educated, and empowered to reach their full potential.”

This ambitious roadmap positions World Vision Tchad as a key player in the nation’s journey toward achieving Vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals, with children at the heart of every initiative.
