In line with the President’s five-year term, the General Secretariat of the Government convened a technical validation workshop on June 2 at the Radisson Blu hotel in N’Djamena. The four-day gathering, running from June 2 to 5, 2026, brings together officials and stakeholders to assess the biennial report covering the implementation of the Head of State’s policy commitments from May 2024 to May 2026.

The workshop’s opening session was led by Dr. Ramatou Mahamat Outouin, Minister and Secretary-General of the Government. In her keynote address, she framed the event not merely as a review of a document, but as a vital opportunity to measure the government’s progress in fulfilling its promises to the people of Chad.

« This gathering is about taking stock of where we stand in delivering on our commitments, » she stated, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to transforming public action and bridging the gap between governance and citizen concerns. Transparency and trust in public institutions, she noted, remain central pillars of the President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno’s vision for leadership.

Dr. Outouin highlighted the dedication of the teams behind the report, remarking, « Every statistic and indicator in this document reflects the hard work and dedication of countless individuals. » She acknowledged the challenges of accountability but stressed its necessity in identifying achievements and addressing shortcomings.

« We are not here to pat ourselves on the back, but to assess our progress honestly, » she emphasized. The workshop aims to foster collective reflection on both milestones reached and obstacles encountered, particularly in sectors such as agriculture, education, and entrepreneurship—areas where government action must translate into tangible benefits for citizens.

The Minister closed by calling the exercise both technical and deeply human, urging participants to approach the report with diligence and accountability. « This document must present a truthful picture—one that captures both the progress made and the work still ahead, » she concluded before formally launching the workshop proceedings.
