Rural futures in focus: Chad
Many of Chad’s rural people face ongoing fragility and crises. We caught up with Rachel Senn, IFAD’s Country Director for Chad, to learn more about the way forward.
Thanks to driving lessons provided by the Haor Infrastructure and Livelihood Improvement Project - Climate Adapation and Livelihood Protection (HILIP/CALIP), a group of young rural women in Northern Bangladesh now have careers as drivers—a typically male-dominated profession.
Not only does this new career improve their status in society, but it is also helping them and their families adapt to the changing climate.
