NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH A BRAVE HEART — No. 00029/10-08/RDPF‑KUMZSE/ADN‑2025🇨🇲
MARSHALL PLAN FOR THE ALL‑ROUND CONSTRUCTION OF CAMEROON (Aligned with the Environmental Land‑Use Plan).
Cameroon, truly “Africa in miniature,” sits on vast natural wealth. Experts estimate a single deposit alone could be worth more than 130,000 billion CFA francs (≈ €198 billion). Those human, financial and material resources are more than sufficient to finance the transformation of our country.
With an external public debt of about 15,000 billion CFA francs (≈ €23 billion), we must not let debt repayments block our future. Instead, an ambitious, well‑managed strategy can convert our resources into sustainable development.
Our goal: build a Renewed Cameroon within twenty years. Germany showed that rapid, deep reconstruction is possible (the rebuilding of East Germany in less than a decade). With a clear diagnosis and shared political will, and by adapting international lessons to our reality, we can achieve even more.
Strategic priorities
1. Governance and national leadership — establish an independent, multi‑party Task Force to plan, coordinate and monitor the Marshall Plan.
2. Resource mobilization — develop transparent partnerships to valorize our deposits, channel mining revenues into infrastructure and a sovereign wealth fund.
3. Economic, financial and monetary autonomy — implement reforms to reduce external dependence, boost domestic investment and protect the national currency.
4. Education and skills reform — train the workforce needed for industry, technology and the digital economy.
5. Infrastructure development — prioritize roads, energy, water, health and housing projects with strong employment and productivity effects.
6. Environmental protection and land‑use planning — implement the Environmental Land‑Use Plan for resilient, sustainable development.
7. Social inclusion and jobs — ensure growth benefits youth and rural areas first.
Immediate actions (first 100 days)
1. Launch a national audit of resources and priority projects.
2. Set up the steering team and an independent citizen oversight committee.
3. Roll out a timetable of “quick‑win” projects that create jobs fast.
4. Open transparent negotiations for mining and investment frameworks.
Why act now?
- The resources exist to finance a national revival.
- Debt becomes manageable when priority is given to productive investment.
- Cameroon’s youth demand real and immediate opportunities.
- History proves rapid transformation is possible with decisive leadership.
Call for national unity
This Marshall Plan is not the project of a party or group. It must unite all stakeholders: public authorities, private sector, civil society, the diaspora and international partners. Together we must set clear, measurable and shared objectives.
Conclusion.
Cameroon has everything it needs for a renaissance. With a structured roadmap, exemplary governance and the participation of all citizens, nothing is impossible with a brave heart. Let us mobilize now to build a more prosperous, fair and sustainable Cameroon for future generations. 🇨🇲
Fraternally,
