The Chadian National Council of Business Owners (CNPT, Conseil National du Patronat Tchadien) serves as an interface between relevant government authorities and employers and business owners. It participates in collective bargaining with representatives of workers' organizations, designates Employer representatives in the organizations in which employers' representation is desired, and conducts studies on general economic and social issues in Chad.

The Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Agriculture, Mines and Crafts (CCIAMA, Chambre de Commerce, d’Industrie, d’Agriculture, des Mines et d’Artisanat) is dedicated to facilitating and improving administrative procedures for business creation, improving the security environment, monitoring market prices, and facilitating tax collection, with the eventual goal of transitioning the informal economy to the formal economy. CCIAMA was instrumental in establishing ANIE, creating a ministry dedicated to small- and medium-sized enterprises, creating a forum for public-private dialogue (FODEP), and adoption of a National Investment Charter.
