The voltage, 120V, which is present in Liberia, is significantly different to what's used in Chad.
Some appliances are compatible with multiple voltages. To find out if your appliance is one of them, check the appliance label and/or instruction booklet. An example appliance label is below.

Is your appliance compatible with the voltage used in Chad (220V)?
If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Chad.
The voltage, 240V, which is also present in Liberia, is not exactly the same to what's used in Chad, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer when using sockets with this voltage. Be sure to carefully check the voltage before using your appliance in sockets in Chad. You may need to ask a local resident, an electrician, or the local government to find out in situations when the power sockets are not labelled with their voltages.
As you are coming from Liberia where more than one frequency exists, check that your appliances are compatible with the single frequency present in Chad (50Hz).
Most equipment is not affected by differences in frequencies. Some exceptions are:
