H. Right to food 258. In accordance with Article 16-1 of the African Charter, “Every individual shall have the right to enjoy the best attainable state of physical and mental health”. 259. To achieve this objective, the Government developed a number of strategies and policies, including the 2002 National Food Security Programme Strategy and the Special Programme for Food Security in 1999. The latter, developed with the support of FAO, was considered a priority programme. 260. There are also some research and training institutions such as the Chadian Institute of Agricultural Research for Development (ITRAD), the National School of Livestock Techniques and the University Institute of Science and Technology of Abéché. 261. The PNSA implements all rural policies and guidelines developed in recent years. Its objective is to eliminate hunger and food insecurity throughout the country. 262. The overall budget of the PNSA in 2007 amounted to 446 billion, including 64% for agriculture, 16% for livestock, 2.5% for the environment, 2.5% for fisheries and 14% for pastoral and village water supply. 263. In 2006, the Ministry of Agriculture accounted for the 5th largest budget (approx. 29 billion) among all ministries. From the early 2000s, the investment budget varied between 17 and 23%. It increased to 32% in 2006 and 39% in 2007 (National Report on the Food Security Profile in Chad, April 2008). 264. These funds were used to mechanize agriculture, which resulted in the supply of tractors and inputs to farmers as well as the construction of and hydro-agricultural infrastructures. 265. Another institution worth mentioning for its contribution in the fight against food insecurity is the National Food Security Office (ONASA), whose mission is to maintain a food security stock in the event of a crisis, with funding from the State and partners.
