British Embassy N'Djamena

Part of:: Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

The British Embassy in N’Djamena maintains and develops relations between the UK and Chad.

We work closely with diplomatic partners, the UN (including on the UN Security Council) and other agencies to support Chad’s development through its transition back to civilian government. Our other priorities are to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance, empower women and girls, stabilise areas affected by violent extremism in the Lake Chad Basin, and help Chad adapt to climate change. We also engage with the Chadian government on regional issues, including development, security and counter-terrorism.

Development work with Chad

The UK government supports international development through long-term partnerships. These are tailored to the needs of each country the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office works with, built on mutual accountability and transparency. Sustainable development is central to UK foreign policy, and we are working to go further and faster to reduce poverty globally.
