Prepared by the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Regional Development (MINEPAT) with support from UNDP, the report aligns with Cameroon’s National Development Strategy 2020–2030 (SND30).The report finds that Cameroon’s economic growth and human development progress have been modest, with significant regional and gender disparities. The economy remains heavily dominated by the services sector and informality, while manufacturing contributes relatively little to employment, exports, and GDP. Human development indicators show only gradual improvements, and the country’s Human Capital Index remains below that of many comparable middle-income countries.Key challenges include low educational attainment and learning outcomes, limited enrollment in technical and vocational fields, uneven access to quality health services, persistent malnutrition, multidimensional poverty, and regional inequalities. The report also highlights the importance of social cohesion, cultural capital, migration management, and economic citizenship in shaping human development outcomes.To support structural transformation, the report recommends building a workforce with stronger science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills, expanding technical and vocational training, improving health and nutrition, reducing regional disparities, strengthening governance, and promoting innovation and productivity.The report concludes that Cameroon’s ambition to become an emerging economy by 2035 will depend on sustained investments in education, health, skills development, and inclusive governance, ensuring that human capital becomes the central driver of economic transformation and sustainable development.}
