It is bordered by Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, the Central African Republic to the south, Cameroon to the southwest, Nigeria to the southwest (at Lake Chad), and Niger to the west.

Cotton is one of Chad’s important agricultural products. Although it is an export crop, the processing of raw cotton employs a majority of those in industry and accounts for some of Chad’s export earnings. Most of the cotton fibre ginned in Chad’s processing plants is exported to Europe and the United States.

Chad’s livestock constitutes another important economic resource and is primarily distributed across central Chad. Much of this wealth is not reflected in the national cash economy, however, and livestock products form about one-tenth of exports. There is a refrigerated meat-processing plant at Sarh. The government has tried to improve livestock by introducing stronger breeds and production by building new slaughterhouses.

Chad faces a lot of economic and political problems. Even though the country sits “atop reserves of some of the world’s most precious natural resources, including uranium and gold, and pumps about 130,000 barrels of crude oil a day, generating billions of dollars in annual revenues,” Chad remains one of the world’s poorest countries, according to the United Nations Development Programme’s human development index.

Chad does not have a national definition of youth available. However, the African Youth Charter, ratified by Chad, defines youth as including all those 15–35 years old.

Agriculture is the largest sector and the basis of the Central African economy, contributing half of the gross domestic product and occupying nearly four-fifths of the workforce; diamonds and timber also contribute to the economy

The country has rich natural resources in the form of diamonds, gold, uranium, and other minerals. Diamonds constitute one of the most important exports of the CAR, frequently accounting for 20-30% of export revenues, but an estimated 30-50% of the diamonds produced each year leave the country clandestinely. There may be petroleum deposits along the country’s northern border with Chad.

The Central African Republic population is predominantly young. More than 64% are under the age of 24. Young people are a tremendous resource for the country but their potential will only be realized when the right investments in their education, health, skills, and empowerment are made.
