Municipalities and regions

What you do

• Plan municipal or regional land use and designate areas for agricultural purposes
• Build and maintain rural infrastructure such as feeder roads, markets, slaughterhouses and warehouses
• Implement public programmes and subsidies transferred to local authorities
• Manage local land matters and the territory’s mapping tools
• Issue the authorisations and formalities within municipal competence
• Facilitate local partnerships with producers, cooperatives and private operators

A local authority receives powers transferred by the State, budget resources and requests from the people and operators of its territory. It delivers rural infrastructure, serviced land, local formalities and economic support to producers and businesses. Within the Produce – Process – Export chain, it secures access to land and physical markets, unlocks the opening up of production basins and creates the conditions for processing units to settle in rural areas. It is often the first public counterpart a project developer meets.

Across the whole national territory: every region and every municipality of Cameroon, whether urban or rural, from the Centre and Littoral regions to the Far North, including the Western highlands, the North-West, the South-West, the South, the East, Adamawa and the North, each with its own production basins and market towns.

The headings that project promoters, partners and institutions look at first. Fill them in with your real orders of magnitude: this is what makes your profile usable.

• Attract processing units and investors to the production basins of the territory
• Secure agricultural land and prevent conflicts of use between farmers and herders
• Open up remote production areas with feeder roads to reduce post-harvest losses
• Mobilise donor and State funding for rural infrastructure and market facilities
• Structure regular dialogue with local cooperatives and producer organisations
