Digital Divide Statistics in Chad (2026)

Chad's internet penetration remains low at 21%, reflecting significant digital divides, especially in rural areas where access is limited. Despite mobile phone usage growing, only a third of the population owns a smartphone, restricting internet adoption and digital services uptake.

Efforts to improve digital literacy are underway, but only 15% of Chadians are digitally literate as of 2026. Continued investments are crucial to bridge the digital gap, stimulate economic growth, and ensure broader digital inclusion across the country.
