Abstract

The disappearance of 90 % of Lake Chad surface has brought riparian states to elaborate a restoration project of this natural asset. We propose to measure the willingness to pay of the beneficiaries of this project. The methodological approach used data from the contingent valuation survey conducted in 2011 in the Cameroonian part of the Lake Chad and appropriate statistical and econometric procedures. First, we reveal that at least 70 % of the respondents are in favor of the restoration project. Then, we estimate the willingness to pay to be 55,240 FCFA per household, either a social benefit valued at 3,606,572,049 FCFA. Its results are thus proof that, from the point of view of the local population, there is a real benefit to preserve Lake Chad.
