Abstract

Dans cet article nous voulons analyser les dynamiques de pauvreté au niveau régional au Cameroun, en mettant un accent particulier sur les trois régions du Grand-Nord Cameroun, ` a savoir (Adamoua, Nord, et l'extrême-nord). L'utilisation des données issues d'Ecam3 nous a permis de démontrer qu'il existe des disparités importantes entre les régions dans de nom-breux domaines. Dans le secteur de l'´ education les provinces du grand-nord se caractérisent par des taux d'analphabétisation plusélevésplusélevés que dans le reste du pays. une conséquence di-rectes de cetétatcetétat de fait est la forte présence des ménages de la partie septentrionale du Ca-meroun dans le secteur informel. L'approche des capabilités a permis de définir les principauxélémentsà principauxélémentsprincipauxélémentsà analyser, dans notre article. Nous observons que les dépenses des ménages laissent entrevoir une faible contribution des dépenses de santé et d'´ education, aux dépenses totales des ménages sans hospitalisation. L'accentuation des inégalités et les résultats préliminaires issus d'Ecam4 n'incitent cependant pasàpasà penser, que dans les prochaines années un re-tournement de tendances sera observées. Cependant, des pistes de recherche existent, qui permettront de mieux comprendre les dynamiques de pauvreté au Cameroun en général, et dans les trois régions qui forment le grand nord Cameroun..
