ADETIC, ANSICE, and TECHSO-GROUP Join Forces to Protect Chad’s Digital Infrastructure
Through this strategic agreement, the Chadian government reaffirms its commitment to leveraging digital technologies for sovereignty, administrative efficiency, and national development.
On Thursday, February 5, 2026, the Agency for Information and Communication Technologies Development (ADETIC), the National Agency for Information Security and Electronic Certification (ANSICE), and TECHSO-GROUP signed a tripartite agreement to conduct a security audit of the National Data Center, a strategic infrastructure central to Chad’s digital sovereignty.
The signing ceremony was attended by Mr. Adoum Djimet Saboun, Director General of ADETIC; Mrs. Nadjma Saleh Kebzabo, Deputy General Manager of ANSICE; and Mr. Hamza Waraki, co-founder of TECHSO-GROUP. The agreement marks the project’s most sensitive phase: securing and certifying the National Data Center ahead of its official commissioning.
For Mr. Saboun, this step represents the final milestone before the inauguration of the Data Center, a project envisioned by His Excellency the President of the Republic, Marshal Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, as part of efforts to build digital sovereignty and modernize public administration. He emphasized, “The National Data Center is a strategic base for sovereign housing of state data and continuity of public digital services.”
Mrs. Kebzabo highlighted that the collaboration reflects the state’s response to growing cybercrime threats and the need to protect sensitive data. Leveraging TECHSO-GROUP’s expertise, ANSICE and ADETIC are conducting a rigorous audit to ensure the reliability, integrity, and resilience of the National Data Center in accordance with critical infrastructure security standards.
The first phase of the project—construction of the building and installation of operational equipment—has already been completed. The current phase focuses on security audits and certification, a crucial step to meet national and international standards for critical infrastructure protection.
Beyond the National Data Center, the agreement also covers the operation of 100 micro-data centers deployed across government institutions. Interconnected with the National Data Center, these facilities will enable a unified, secure, and efficient digital architecture, supporting the dematerialization of administrative procedures and improving public service delivery.
Through this strategic agreement, the Chadian government reaffirms its commitment to leveraging digital technologies for sovereignty, administrative efficiency, and national development. Once secure and certified, the National Data Center will stand as a pillar of the country’s digital transformation.
