In Chad, the creation of a new independent anti-corruption authority (AILC) in August 2023 marks a significant step forward in the fight against corruption. The institution, tasked with preventing and punishing acts of corruption while strengthening ethics within the public sphere was the result of a bill drawn up in response to the recommendations of the National Sovereign and Inclusive Dialogue (DNIS). However, the impact of the AILC remains to be seen, and the issue of non-meritocratic hiring among civil servants in the country presents obstacles to its efficient operation.
