CAADP Compact: Cameroon signed the CAADP Compact between 15 - 17 July 2013, with the aim of transforming agriculture through food & nutrition security, wealth creation, and economic growth to ensure prosperity for all. 

National Agriculture Investment Plan: NEPAD supported Cameroon by conducting a technical review of its NAIP from the 15 - 22 August 2014.  
Capacity building: Technical and advisory support was provided in Cameroon for the CAADP Business Meeting. The budget for its National Agricultural Investment Plan (NAIP) is XAF3 550 billion1, of which the government has already secured XAF2 000 billion through the realignment of several ongoing initiatives. Cooling facilities were donated to six fishing villages in Cameroon to facilitate post-harvest preservation of fish.

Business: Cameroon’s first CAADP Business Meeting was held in 2015.

Results: 
•    Cameroon has seen an improved approach to the development of agriculture with participation of all relevant stakeholders.  The four main ministries, namely the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Forests and Fauna and the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries, have been working in synergy in the development of their budgets in order to avoid repetition and improve effectiveness on the ground.  
•    There is now greater awareness of the need to include other ministries on various issues.  For example, discussions with the Ministry of Research and Scientific Innovation regarding improvements in agricultural research is a positive step. 
•    In the remote Bokwaongo locality of Buea, smallholder farmers are being taught to use cell phones to get real time market price data. This ICT medium has enabled these farmers to also get information relating to planting seasons, to know when to apply fertilisers and importantly how to bargain with buyers.
