Hydrocarbons Regulation: Chad’s Hydrocarbon Regulatory Authority (ARH) is sending a delegation to the country from September 10–19 to deepen the Algiers MoU signed April 23, building on earlier technical exchanges with Chad’s petroleum regulator. The mission focuses on hydrocarbon sector regulation, safety and risk management, HSE oversight, equipment safety, and downstream oil regulation, plus infrastructure development and a push for digital transformation and modernization tools. It also includes workshops and site visits to industrial facilities to tackle technical and regulatory challenges. Regional Development & Infrastructure: In Cameroon’s Far North Region, the Economy Minister said the PSRDREN programme is set to transform the area with an estimated 1,600 billion FCFA investment, including nearly 800 billion FCFA during the 2026 execution period. Progress highlighted includes a modern bridge over the Logone River improving the link between Yagoua (Cameroon) and Bongor (Chad), alongside road projects supported by partners like the AfDB.
