Evidence snapshot for Cameroon
Cameroon has undertaken significant reforms to increase women's political representation and expand digital skills access. Cameroon's Electoral Code (Loi 2012/001) introduced a 30% gender quota on party lists, more than doubling women's National Assembly seats from 13.8% in 2011 to 31.1% by 2013 and 33.9% by February 2024. Meanwhile, the Orange Digital Center, a GIZ-backed partnership with Orange Cameroun, trained over 2,500 young people in coding and digital skills and facilitated 560+ job placements or internships since its inception, addressing digital divides in a country with ~44% internet penetration. Cameroon is also piloting AI-assisted science textbooks through the Cameroon Baptist Convention's school network and has engaged in participatory disability-inclusive research, though the latter remains a small documented pilot rather than a scaled programme.
