Abstract

Cameroon is one of the numerous African nations dealing with the crisis of good governance. Cameroon, a country in Central Africa, joined the APRM in April 2003. This paper examines Cameroon’s progress and difficulties in implementing the APRM recommendations and the role the APRM has played in addressing the nation’s good governance dilemma. The paper examines the progress in implementing the APRM recommendations. It also explores the challenges associated with implementing the APRM recommendations, and how they impacted the country’s governance system. With an emphasis on Cameroon’s crisis of good governance, this paper offers a thorough analysis of the country’s implementation of the APRM, including its progress and difficulties. The paper concludes that while Cameroon may have made great strides in adopting and practicing the APRM principles, it still has a long way to go in tackling issues like political instability, socioeconomic disparity, and corruption. The chapter’s conclusion emphasizes the necessity of a more thorough and inclusive APRM process in Cameroon that includes all stakeholders in order to support a more accountable and inclusive governance structure.
