Abstract:
This study examines impact of international aid on infrastructure development in N’Djamena,
Chad, between 2015 and 2024. The objectives of the research include identifying the sources of
13
aid inflows and the types of infrastructure targeted, evaluating the effectiveness of these aid-
funded projects in enhancing socio-economic well-being, and identifying the challenges faced
during their implementation. Utilizing a document analysis approach, the study systematically
reviews relevant literature, reports, and data, applying Flick's method for sampling diverse and
credible sources. The findings reveal that aid from international entities, including the African
Development Bank, World Bank, China, and the European Union, has significantly contributed
to infrastructure sectors such as water supply, sanitation, and road connectivity. These
development have improved public health, enhanced economic opportunities, and increased
regional connectivity in N'Djamena. However, challenges such as environmental degradation,
rapid urbanization, and sustainability issues persist, hindering the full realization of these
projects benefits. The study concludes with recommendations to strengthen collaboration with
international partners, focus on targeted interventions for vulnerable populations, enhance local
institutional capacity, and address urbanization challenges through integrated planning.
