This evaluation examines the Bank Group’s assistance to Cameroon over the 2004–2013 period as well as its contribution to the country’s development. Its aim is to draw relevant lessons to help improve future strategy and operations.
The evaluation is based on a document review, sector evaluations and discussions with stakeholders. It focuses on transport, energy, water and sanitation and governance, the priorities of the Country Strategy Papers (CSPs).
Overall, this evaluation finds that the performance of the Bank’s intervention strategies and programs in Cameroon over the 2004–2013 period were moderately satisfactory. To ensure the sustainability of investments and effective public spending, the evaluation recommends the strengthening of infrastructure management, especially in the transport sector, through an efficient road maintenance fund. It also recommends that the Bank should help improve sector governance by combining infrastructure financing with institutional support to create the appropriate conditions for optimal project implementation and achievement of expected results.
