poor water management and landlocked location
I'm pretty sure that's what this mean. Chad is a landlocked country with no outlets to the ocean.

poor internal communications, poor transport infrastructures
"enclavement" refers to poor access, whether by sea or any other means. In this particular instance it means that there are no reliable all-season means of transport for taking produce from areas where it is plentiful (assuming they exist) to areas where it is not.

interior isolation/hemmed-in position
either isolation or hemmed-in position. Chad is pretty hard to get to (I've lived on both sides of it!)
