Description: The major challenge for Cameroon is to achieve strong and sustainable economic growth, whose fruit is evenly distributed to the population. To achieve this, the country needs to diversify its exports, largely based on oil, and eliminate a number of constraints; the most important being the poor energy services and basic infrastructure, governance, poor capacity, and an unfavorable environment for the private sector. The lifting of these constraints must take place in a stable and quality macro-economic environment.
