Editing History of Chad (section)

===Oil producing and military improvement===
Chad became an oil producer in 2003. To avoid [[resource curse]] and corruption, elaborate plans sponsored by World Bank were made. This plan ensured transparency in payments, as well as that 80% of money from oil exports would be spent on five priority development sectors, two most important of these being: education and healthcare. However money started getting diverted towards the military even before the [[Chadian Civil War (2005–2010)|civil war]] broke out. In 2006 when the [[Chadian Civil War (2005–2010)|civil war]] escalated, Chad abandoned previous economic plans sponsored by [[World Bank]] and added "national security" as priority development sector, money from this sector was used to improve the military. During the [[Chadian Civil War (2005–2010)|civil war]], more than 600 million dollars were used to buy fighter jets, attack helicopters, and armored personnel carriers.

Chad earned between 10 and 11&nbsp;billion dollars from oil production, and estimated 4&nbsp;billion dollars were invested in the army.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last=Hicks|first=Celeste|date=2015|title=Chad and the West: Shifting Security Burden?|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/resrep06548|journal=Africa Policy Brief|volume=|pages=1–2|JSTOR=resrep06548}}</ref>
