Bettering the welfare of Chad

For a big part of my writing, I used ‘The Global Goals for Sustainable Development’ to choose what I wanted to focus on and prioritise.

With resources Chad has or resources that can be donated quite easily, Chad could improve the general healthcare of the country, this would be the requirement of the government to provide and upkeep. By improving their general healthcare, they would reduce risk of disease and illness which is common amongst people living in Chad; doing this would allow for a reliable and safe system which lets Chad's population become much healthier and improves their national life expectancy. Building services such as hospitals allows for jobs to also become available for local residents; this could possibly contribute to the repairing of Chad's shockingly low and quite scary poverty rate [1] (around 55% - 47%). In return, the mental wellbeing could be supported more and improved which is highly beneficial to the general healthcare and life expectancy of a country.
Canada currently holds high places in the lists of the world’s happiest countries as well as countries with the highest quality of life. Not only does Canada have a very high life expectancy but they also have one of the cleanest environments on the planet; these factors all tie into their overall happiness and impressive wellbeing. Many of these factors would be unobtainable in a place such as Chad. This may be due to undeveloped state or low economic value and GDP of the country. However, many things can be done to improve every aspect of Chad's economic, social and environmental standing, and there are things that can also be done to boost everyone and everything personally.

Improving the national individual quality of life is a massive and vital step to ensuring a better life expectancy and standard of well-being. Both improving property and general healthcare is a part of the improvement of individual quality of life, but there's more to it. There are some more challenging objectives that need to be looked at in Chad, typically these include bettering sanitation and clean water supply, hunger and quality of education [the global goals for sustainable development]. Prioritising and improving all of these would allow for everyone in Chad to be able to live a sustainable and decent life, they would be able to be clean and eat a healthy well-balanced diet; they would also be able to have a better education leading to their hopefully more successful futures especially in a careers aspect (this could then possibly help to boost the national GDP of the country). Who.it [2] says that ‘Improved water supply and sanitation, and better management of water resources, can boost countries’ economic growth and can contribute greatly to poverty reduction. In 2010, the UN General Assembly explicitly recognized the human right to water and sanitation.’ This then proves that not only should everyone have it as a basic human right but it can also be unbelievably beneficial to three demographic standings (social, economical and environmental). Reducing the hunger in a country would go alongside the values of improving general healthcare, when you improve the malnutrition in a country you are healing one part of a much larger picture, however improving hunger in Chad would allow for the country to simply become fitter, meaning they would be able to do much more and they will generally become much more healthy which would in return boost the life expectancy of Chad.

 

To conclude, I believe that improving Chad on a national level would be a lot easier on paper than it would be in reality, if these were to be done it would almost indefinitely put more challenges forward that we cannot comprehend along the way. Nonetheless, all of these factors desperately need to be implicated if Chad would wish to improve their overall life expectancy and well-being. There are many other factors that could be involved in the improvement of Chad, but I believe the factors I have talked about will be the most practical, effective but most importantly cheapest/easiest to achieve and complete within reason.
