Driver Overview
This section shows a country’s rank, ranking change and score for each of the eight drivers. It also categorises each country’s driver performance on a scale from “Emerging” (score from 0-20) to “Global Leader” (score from 80-100).

Metric Overview
Strengths
Registering property
It takes 29 days to register a property in Chad, below the Low Income Countries’ average of 46. As infrastructure projects often involve property rights, the shorter the time to register properties, the less costly and risky the project.
Financial stability
Financial stability scores for Chad are the second lowest of all InfraCompass 2020 countries, largely due to low diversification in asset holdings. A stable financial system facilitates the smooth flow of funds between infrastructure and investors, improving capital supply for projects.
Gross government debt
Chad’s gross government debt amounts to 45% of GDP, below the Low Income Countries’ average of 49%. While the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unknown, Chad’s government is currently in a stronger fiscal position to fund infrastructure than many of its peers.

Opportunities to Grow
Published infrastructure procurement guidelines
Chad does not publish national guidelines for the procurement of infrastructure projects. Publishing guidelines makes contractors aware of the government’s processes, expectations and requirements. This improves transparency and helps achieve better value for money.
Transparency in public procurement
Chad does not make public procurement notices available online that detail both procurement procedures and shortlisting criteria. A more transparent process could encourage more participation and competition, which drive value for money.
Published project pipeline
Chad does not currently have an infrastructure pipeline of projects. The addition of an infrastructure pipeline could help provide infrastructure participants with a clear indication of prospective and confirmed infrastructure activity.

Detailed Data
This section shows country data for each of the 41 metrics. The figures in brackets denote the change in score since InfraCompass 2017.
Note that all data has been normalised on a scale of 1-100. For raw metric data, please download the complete InfraCompass 2020 dataset.
Where relevant, some metric scores have been inverted, such that all metrics have positive relationships with good infrastructure outcomes. For example, since lower compliance costs make it easier to invest in infrastructure, the normalised value of ‘number of procedures to start a business’ has been reversed such that lower number of procedures are scored closer to 100, and higher numbers closer to 0. In other words, a score of 0 indicates a poor performance, rather than 0 number of procedures.

Measures the governance practices that protect shareholders through three dimensions: the extent of shareholder rights index (shareholders’ rights and role in major corporate decisions), the extent of ownership and control index (governance safeguards protecting shareholders from undue board control and entrenchment), and the extent of corporate transparency index (corporate transparency on ownership stakes).
