It also evaluates the fiscal status of state-owned enterprises and explores the evolution of the wage bill, subjects that are especially relevant in Cameroon.

The analysis presented in this Public
Expenditure Review (PER) is designed to support the efforts
of the Government of Cameroon (GOC) to enhance public
expenditure efficiency and improve the quality of public
goods and services. The report reviews public expenditure
data over a 10-year period, examines trends in the
composition and efficiency of spending, and assesses whether
spending patterns are consistent with Cameroon’s development
objectives. The report includes an in-depth analysis of
public investment, the budget category that has experienced
the largest increase over past decade. It also evaluates the
fiscal status of state-owned enterprises and explores the
evolution of the wage bill, subjects that are especially
relevant in Cameroon. Finally, the report reviews public
health and education expenditures, which together account
for 20.5 percent of total central government spending and
which play a pivotal role in socioeconomic development and
poverty reduction. The PER’s recommendations are tailored to
reflect the government’s current fiscal consolidation effort
and the ongoing implementation of its national development
strategy. In 2009, the Government adopted the Growth and
Employment Strategy Paper (Document de Stratégie pour la
Croissance et l’Emploi, DSCE) as part of its overarching
development agenda, Vision 2035, which calls for increased
spending, a strong role for government in promoting
private-sector development, and measures to enhance the
delivery of social services. However, since 2014 Cameroon
has joined other Central African Economic Community (CEMAC)
member states in pursuing fiscal consolidation and
expenditure rationalization. The PER offers specific
recommendations for increasing expenditure efficiency across
multiple sectors of the public administration. |
