2024 budget prioritises decentralisation and local development
The Ministry of Decentralisation and Local Development (MINDEL) is set to receive a substantial allocation of 100 billion CFA francs in the 2024 national budget, marking a notable 20% increase from the previous year. This financial commitment underscores the government’s dedication to strengthening Cameroon’s decentralisation process and empowering local communities.
MINDEL’s budget allocation will be strategically directed towards three key areas:
However, the budget allocation has sparked significant criticism, particularly in light of the deteriorating state of social infrastructure in Cameroon. Many regions lack proper roads, hospitals, and schools, with some children still attending classes under trees.
The absence of good farm-to-market roads is contributing to the daily perishing of food items on farms. Some food products take up to two weeks to reach the market, often in suboptimal conditions.
The criticism further highlights the challenges faced in healthcare, where a high number of deaths are recorded due to the lack of adequate materials in hospitals. Despite the annual allocation of billions for the construction of better healthcare facilities, the situation remains dire.
