In plain words
12.6% of population
What it is. This measure counts the people in Chad who use the internet and divides them by the whole population, so children and rural residents sit in the denominator. It captures whether someone goes online at all. Speed, cost, data quality and how often people connect fall outside it. No methodology note is published for this series.
Higher is better. A higher share means more people can reach information, public services, online payments and distant markets, so a rising figure is good news. The latest figure is 12.6% of population in 2024, up from 12% of population a year earlier, a gain of 0.59 percentage points. Since 2015 the series has ranged from a low of 3.5% of population in 2015 to its high of 12.6% of population in 2024. The latest reading is therefore the top of its range over that span.
Why it matters. With internet use at 12.6% of population, most Chadians remain outside online banking, e-commerce and digital government services. Firms that sell or recruit online reach a small share of the market, and schools and clinics that rely on web access serve few of their communities. The state can expect the audience for digital public services to grow slowly, with the next annual figure showing whether the 2024 gain continues.
