It will examine the particular challenges that Chad faces in the management and use of its oil revenues, and provide suggestions on how oil resources might be better leveraged to achieve the country's development goals. 2012-03-19T10:14:23Z 2012-03-19T10:14:23Z 2011-12-01 http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/main?menuPK=64187510&pagePK=64193027&piPK=64187937&theSitePK=523679&menuPK=64187510&searchMenuPK=64187283&siteName=WDS&entityID=000356161_20120209011446 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/2821 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank Economic & Sector Work :: Public Expenditure Review Africa Sub-Saharan Africa Sahel Central Africa Chad
