Chadian Infrastructure, Chad

In November of 2004, a Department of Paleontology was created at the University of N’Djamena, headed by Dr. Mackaye (see photo above). A new research building was erected and officially inaugurated on October 18, 2005 by the Chadian Ministry of Research, the French Ambassador, and Dr. Michel Brunet. Funds for some of the new department's equipment (solar panels, desks, chairs, cabinets, shelves, computers, and a laser printer) was provided by the RHOI. The new building and equipment will accelerate paleontological research in Chad.
