Draft statute for civil servants of the C.T.D. in Cameroon - Philippe Njifon - Bog

Decentralisation is a topical issue in Cameroon and Africa, and a global requirement for democracy, good governance and the participation of CSOs, trade unions and the general public in the management of public affairs. It aims to bring decision-making closer to the citizen and increase the efficiency of the public service. It is in this sense that decentralisation can represent a powerful tool for implementing the governance strategy and combating poverty. The current precarious situation of the target groups, namely the staff of the local authorities, does not yet favour their full participation in the implementation of the decentralisation process. This means that the issue of pay and career profile is of vital importance in labour law, of which they are one of the essential dimensions. All in all, this study shows that the population studied is fairly experienced, due to the fact that it is ageing. It should be noted here that the families of CTD workers are fairly stable, despite their low salaries, which vary from one local authority to another, and their sometimes unpaid bonuses.
