Evidence snapshot for Cameroon
Cameroon has implemented targeted policy and skills-development interventions with measurable results. Cameroon's 2012 Electoral Code introduced a 30% gender quota on party lists, which more than doubled women's National Assembly representation from 13.8% in 2011 to 31.1% by 2013 and 33.9% by February 2024. The Orange Digital Center, a GIZ-backed partnership, has trained over 2,500 young people and placed 560+ in employment or internships since 2020, helping address Cameroon's 44% internet penetration and digital skills gap. The Cameroon Baptist Convention's Education Department is scaling AI-assisted science and maths textbooks across its school network, with pilot teacher-training results showing 94% of participating teachers reported increased confidence teaching science.
