Country Analysis Brief
  • Chad and Cameroon depend upon the oil industry for economic growth. Lending agencies have encouraged the countries to have greater economic diversification.
  • Chad has experienced rapid growth in its domestic oil industry due in large part to the Chad-Cameroon pipeline coming online. Cameroon has also benefited from the pipeline in the form of royalty payments.
  • The majority of people in Chad and Cameroon use biomass as their primary energy source due in large part to a lack of electricity accessibility.
