o Presentation of the context of the evaluation



2.1. General, education and child protection

Chad is a landlocked country located between the Maghreb and Black Africa. With an annual population growth rate estimated at 3.6%, its population is close to 13 million [1] in 2015, of which 21.7% live in urban areas. Women make up 50.7% of the population. The World Health Organization`s report on disability (WHO [2] ) estimates that 15% of the population is made up of people with disabilities; on the basis of this report and the 2015 demographic situation, the number of people with disabilities is currently estimated at more than 2 million people in Chad, taking into account the annual growth rate of 3.6% [3] . He occupies the 186 thrank of 188 in terms of human development index (HDI) in 2015, with an index of 0.39 [4] .

In terms of education, the indicators are not very good for Chad: according to the 2017 Education Sector Report, less than a quarter of the adult population aged 15 and over (22%) is literate. This rate ranks Chad among the lowest on the African continent and the world. The overall primary completion rate is 45.05% in 2015-2016, but for Lake Province (project intervention area), less than 10% of children complete primary school. According to the Provincial Delegation for Education and Youth of the Lake, a certain momentum in terms of improving the school enrollment rate is observed: the school population has increased from 45, 832 pupils (including 16, 990 girls) in 2016 to 86, 676 students (including 35, 826 girls) in 2018, thanks to the sustained efforts of school authorities and partners. Despite this, children with disabilities and children with special needs are not very visible in schools. This justifies the rate of illiteracy of the members of the Association for mutual assistance of the disabled Lake: out of 158 members of this DPO, more than 95% are illiterate, according to its President.

UNESCO estimates that less than 10% of children with disabilities have access to quality education. Due to the fact that the disability does not belong to the Ministry of National Education, school enrollment does not take into account disability when disaggregating data from the education sector. On July 25, 2019, HI and the Ministry of National Education and Civic Promotion organized an exchange workshop on the achievements and perspectives of Inclusive Education in Chad. The workshop brought together political, educational and social action authorities, national and international non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations, technical and financial partners and donors. The political will to take disability into account as a cross-cutting theme of educational action is reflected in the debates conducted during this workshop. However, there is a certain demarcation between the inclusive vision of HI and most DPOs and that of the authorities of the Ministry of National Education still show a rather specialized vision. The ratification of the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) by Chad in early 2019 and its deposit at the UN Secretary General on June 20, 2019 could serve as a springboard for real change and taking into account the 15% of the Chadian population.

Overview of the security situation

The security context remains volatile in the Lake Chad region and the implementation of project activities is affected. The intervention being evaluated initially concerned 18 localities on the mainland and 5 localities located on the islands. At the beginning of this intervention, community sensitization activities on disability and referral to care were conducted in the island areas. They were brutally interrupted by the deterioration of the security situation that occurred in March / April 2019, which pushed the populations to massive displacements towards the more secure localities, and particularly on the mainland. The administrative authority ordered the suspension of any intervention in the islands (circular letter N. 3 PR / MATSPGL / PLC / DK / SG / 2019 of 26 April 2019 of the Kaya Prefect suspending activities on the islands for security reasons). As a result, the activities that the project was to carry out in the island areas were interrupted. An amendment to the contract was sent to the DDC lessor for the relocation of these activities on the mainland, in the localities that hosted a large number of internally displaced persons from these islands.
