Cameroon has enjoyed relative stability since
independence. However, its economy was
badly affected by the economic recession of
the 1980s that most sub-Saharan African
countries experienced. Since then, there was a
steady increase of poverty that the recent
economic recovering of the country could not
alleviate. As an indicator, the life expectancy
at birth has even decreased from 52.4 years in
1990 to 50 years in 2000. This is why poverty
alleviation is the main objective of
development policies in Cameroon. Such
policies aim to reduce poverty by addressing
its causes, among others: population growth,
low level of education, low status of women
in the society, low level of productivity, and
natural resources degradation.
