British Embassy N'Djamena

Location:: Chad
Part of:: Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

The British Embassy in N’Djamena maintains and develops relations between the UK and Chad.

We work closely with diplomatic partners, the UN (including on the UN Security Council) and other agencies to support Chad’s development through its transition back to civilian government. Our other priorities are to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance, empower women and girls, stabilise areas affected by violent extremism in the Lake Chad Basin, and help Chad adapt to climate change. We also engage with the Chadian government on regional issues, including development, security and counter-terrorism.

Development work in Chad

The International Development White Paper set out how the UK is working with partners to:

eliminate extreme poverty
address climate change and biodiversity loss
increase progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030

The UK does this through long-term partnerships tailored to the needs of each country the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office works with, founded on mutual accountability and transparency. The white paper builds on the UK Government’s International Development Strategy and the Integrated Review Refresh (IR23). These documents reiterate that sustainable development is central to UK foreign policy, and set out how the UK will go further and faster to reduce poverty.

For information on how the International Development White Paper is being implemented in Chad, view the UK-Chad development partnership summary.
