Le Tchad comme d'autres pays africains ont tardé à comprendre que l'épidémie du VIH/SIDA n'était pas qu'un problème de santé, mais qu'elle avait également des conséquences dans les domaines de l'éducation et du développement. Pour une majorité d'enfants orphelins ou dont les parents sont porteurs du VIH, la maladie réduit les chances d'aller à l'école.

It can also be used to foster dialogue and the planning process among other stakeholders, including civil society organizations (CSOs) and communities.
Over the past decade, the education sector has played an increasingly important role in the multi-sectoral response to HIV and AIDS. The priority placed on the education sector's response is based on evidence that the "social vaccine" of education contributes to knowledge and personal skills essential for the prevention of HIV, and protects individuals, communities and nations from the impact of AIDS. …
