Cameroon First Fiscal, Inclusive and Sustainable Growth DPF

Cameroon’s development agenda is articulated in its Vision 2035, which targets the country’s transformation into an emerging economy by 2035. Vision 2035 focuses on alleviating poverty, accelerating industrialization, and consolidating democracy and national unity while respecting the country’s diversity. To operationalize the vision, Cameroon adopted the SND30, its SND in November 2020. The SND30 aims to create favorable conditions for economic growth, improve the living conditions of the population as well as their access to basic social services, strengthen adaptation to climate change, and improve governance. To achieve these objectives, the SND30 is organized around four main pillars: (i) structural transformation of the economy; (ii) human capital development; (iii) job creation and economic inclusion; and (iv) governance, decentralization, and strategic management of the State. Under Pillars 2 and 3, the SND30 also puts greater emphasis on the need for social inclusion including by accelerating decentralization to building Cameroon’s resilience. As Cameroon continues to navigate multiple overlapping crises, maintaining its long-term goals for sustainable, resilient, and inclusive development is critical.
