La Commission européenne et le gouvernement de la République du Tchad ont

L'allocation de ces fonds non-remboursables provient du 9e Fonds européen
de développement (FED). Le Commissaire chargé du développement et de l'aide

nouvelle étape dans les relations entre le Tchad et l'UE dans le cadre de
l'Accord de Partenariat signé à Cotonou le 23 juin 2000 entre la Communauté
européenne et les pays ACP. Les fonds sont destinés à la réalisation
d'objectifs prioritaires tels que la lutte contre la pauvreté, la
démocratisation et le renforcement de l'Etat de droit".
