As part of its mission, the CIDR's research activity is oriented toward the development of knowledge to support training and technical assistance activities. It delivers innovative and effective research, technical assistance, and decision support services that build human and institutional capacity and promote sustainable economic and social development throughout Cameroon. Within this framework, our research provides a rigorous analysis and perspective on economic policy issues of Cameroon and the Developing World. We study major issues affecting Cameroon in search for an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of public policies. Our research studies thus allows us to serve as a bridge between the Government, the private sector, the academia and the general public.
