United States Embassy Cameroon: Mrs. Marquardt donates books on the International Education week
Investment by the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the public entity that operates the MCA, draws on lessons learned about development over the past 50 years. We now know that aid and investment are most effective when they reinforce sound political, economic and social policies in the receiving country. These policies are key because they also encourage the inflow of private capital and increased trade, both of which are essential components of growth. We now know that development plans supported by a broad range of stakeholders, both public and private, for which countries themselves have primary responsibility, engender a sense of ownership that makes them more likely to succeed and endure.

And we now know that integrating evaluation and monitoring into the design of activities boosts effectiveness, accountability, an ... [Read More]

US Department Of State Post Report
Under pressure from the opposition, the government introduced several reforms in the 1990’s to liberalize public institutions. These reforms provided for the creation of a bicameral legislature and the establishment of Provincial Assemblies. They also permitted formation of opposition political parties, independent newspapers, nongovernmental civic associations and ended censorship. While the government continues to occasionally impose restrictions on those with dissenting views, open public debate has increased greatly. Cameroon last held multiparty parliamentary elections on May 17, 1997. The former single party, the Cameroon Peoples’ Democratic Movement (CPDM), which once held all 180 seats in the National Assembly, won 116 seats in the multiparty election with six other parties accounting for the remainder.

United States Embassy Cameroon: Bush remaks on the G8 summit
Too many nations have been cut off from the economicprogress of our time, and we must expand the circle of tradeto include them. Under the African Growth and OpportunityAct, which has reduced barriers to trade, U.S. exports tosub-Sahara Africa increased 25 percent last year. AndAmerica's imports from AGOA countries rose 88 percent. Nowwe must take the next large step: expanding the entireglobal trading system through the Doha negotiations. TheWorld Bank estimates that completing these negotiations couldadd $350 billion annually to developing countries' incomes,and lift 140 million people out of poverty. The Dohanegotiations are the most practical and importantanti-poverty initiative in the world, and we must bring themto a prompt and successful conclusion. (Applause.) ... [Read More]
