Project Description

 

Important milestones have been reached in Cameroon in both decentralization and poverty reduction. Initiated in 1996, the decentralization reform of government and administrative systems has now made significant progress. The IMF and World Bank assessed the implementation of the national poverty reduction strategy PRSP in 2003 as generally positive.

However, more efforts are required.In the situation in which the decentralized local authorities perform their duties inadequately, their comparative advantage in the provision of poverty-oriented, efficient, and demand-oriented services at the local level goes to waste.

Goals

 

The program aims to advance decentralization and poverty reduction. The aim is to ensure that selected local authority and decision-makers communities self-determinedly shape their social and economic environment and contribute to poverty reduction.
