The Road Maintenance Fund (FER) in Chad is a crucial entity established to provide a stable source of funding for the operation and maintenance of the country’s road network. Created in 2000, the fund was designed to be financed primarily through road user charges, such as fuel levies and vehicle registration fees, to improve efficiency and the quality of road infrastructure. FER is a key part of Chad’s strategy to improve its transport network, which is vital for the economic development of the landlocked nation by connecting agricultural regions to major consumption centers
