Abstract

The research coverers A comparative analysis of rural development strategies implemented in Korea and Cameroon. The study aims to elaborate on the effectiveness of community development projects in creating comfort zones for rural communities. To achieve the desired results, I carried out comprehensive research on the Korean New Village movement (Saemaul undong) and compared it with the top-bottom approach in Cameroon. Based on the findings from published documents, on Google Scholar, I realized bottom-up approach in community development is more reliable and efficient in sustainable development because the top-down approach usually takes a longer time and leaves the needs of the local people at the mercy of politicians who end up enriching themselves at the detriment of the people. But it is instrumental in dealing with emergency cases. In rare cases, the two systems can be of significance if implemented simultaneously. The study concludes by attributing the neglect of rural development in the Tombel subdivision as the main reason for the ethnic cleansing in 1966.
