Analysis of Decentralization and Gender Policies in Cameroon

This book is written in reaction to the prevailing inequalities in Africa on the one hand and attempts to explain why it is difficult to achieve the kind of equality that many would love to see on the other hand. The book explores reasons for weak implementation of decentralization and gender policies in Cameroon despite increased effort made by the government and significant access gained by women into political bureaus and legislature both at the national and particularly at the local level. It addresses the wider socio economic and political environment as well as management and administrative factors, and how such factors are maneuvered to shape and influnce implementation of such policies. This book develops its ideas, discussions and conclusions based on concepts and insights of other reviews as well as related literature from the analysis and interpretations of relevant statutory reforms in force in cameroon.
