Chad - NICI Policy

Telecommunications Structure and Policy

A Telecommunication Act of 17 August 1998 was promulgated. As a result of this Act, a new company has been established for operating basic telephony, namely the Société des Télécommunications du Tchad (SOTEL Tchad), which has been granted a five-year period of exclusivity, as well as the Office Tchadien de Régulation des Telecommunications (OTRT), responsible for regulation of the telecommunication sector. SOTEL Tchad is expected to be privatized in 2001. CLTEL Tchad and Tchad Mobile are about to be launched.

ICT Networking Development

There is no formal ICT policy in Chad, however there is a high level of awareness partly fostered by the Centre National d'Appui à la Recherche (CNAR),under the Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche Scientifique, which is the UNDP's national SNDP partner. CNAR coordinates national research and operates an e-mail service via a direct connection to UNDP in New York.
