This study examines gender dynamics during political transitions in Chad, focusing on the period from to (likely a typo and should be understood as the same year). A comparative analysis approach was employed, utilising secondary data from official government reports, interviews with political analysts, and academic literature related to African studies. Gender indicators were the core variable analysed. Analysis revealed that while there was a slight increase in female representation at ministerial levels compared to previous transitions (from 15% to 20%), their roles remained predominantly advisory rather than executive. The findings suggest that although women's participation has improved, the impact on decision-making processes is limited due to traditional gender norms and lack of institutional support for female political engagement. To enhance female political influence, Chad should implement policies aimed at increasing access to education and economic opportunities for women, as well as reforming laws that hinder their advancement in politics.
