Our Vision For Urban Housing, Planning and Development

The Current State of Cameroon

• Housing: Millions lack affordable, decent homes. Many families live in overcrowded slums without water, electricity, or good roads.
   
• City Planning: Unregulated settlements are spreading, with little zoning or sustainable development.
   
• Economic Centers: Most regions have no modern shopping or business hubs, and development is overcrowded in a few cities.
   
• Administrative Structures: Regions depend on old, congested capitals without fair distribution of modern infrastructure.
   
• Knowledge & Culture: Many municipalities have no public libraries, and Cameroon still lacks a proper National Archives to preserve our history.
   
• Law & Order: Prisons are overcrowded, outdated, and fail to rehabilitate. Police stations are under-equipped and cannot fully ensure citizen safety.

Our Vison 2032-2052

 Affordable Housing for All

We will close the housing gap by building over five million+ new homes within 20 years across cities, towns, and villages.

• That means  about 500,000 new homes per region over 20years .
   
• Every year, 25,000 homes will be built annually per region.
   
• Housing options will include apartment buildings, townhouses, single-family homes and villas. so every family can find a place that fits their needs.

A new mortgage system will be instituted and it will allow families, including minimum wage earners, to own homes with zero interest rates.

• Example1 :  For minimum wage families and individuals.

                  A worker earning 150,000 CFA per month or two siblings earning           

                  100000 CFA 

                 each monthly, will be able to buy a 3-bedroom, 2-bath apartment, kitchen ,      

                 dinning and living area valued at 5 million CFA. Payments will be 

                  spread over   

                  10 years, costing about 42,000 CFA 

                per month, making homeownership truly possible for ordinary families. 

• Example 2: For Middle-Income Families:

• Individuals or families earning between 300,000 and 500,000 CFA per month (or more) are well-positioned to purchase a home valued between 30 million and 50 million CFA. With a 25-year repayment plan (300 months):A 30 million CFA home would require an estimated monthly payment of approximately 100,000 CFA. A 50 million CFA home would require an estimated monthly payment of approximately 166,000 CFA.
   

• Example 3: For Upper Middle-Class Families:

               A household earning 600,000 – 1,000,000 CFA per month or an individual           

                earning the same amount and above will be able to buy a home valued 

                 at 100– 150 million CFA. With a 25-year repayment plan (300 months): 

               A 100 million CFA home will cost about 333,000 CFA per month. 

               A 150 million CFA home will cost about 500,000 CFA per month.

Connected & Sustainable Communities: Each housing project will be well-planned, with access to clean water, reliable electricity, good roads, and green spaces.
 

• World-Class Shopping Malls: Every regional capital will have a modern shopping and business hub, creating jobs, boosting local economies, and keeping money within our communities.
   
• New Administrative Capitals: Each region will benefit from a new, well-designed administrative capital with at least 10 modern sky scrappers on 1000 acres -1500acres . These modern cities will reduce overcrowding in current urban areas and spread development more fairly across the country.
   

• Libraries for All: Every municipality will have a public library, giving young people and adults free access to books, the internet, and resources for lifelong learning.
   
• Preserving Our Heritage: We will build a National Archives Library—a state-of-the-art home for Cameroon’s history, culture, and intellectual treasures, ensuring they are preserved for generations to come.
   

• Modern Zoning Systems: Clear rules for land use will separate housing, business, industry, and green spaces to create organized, livable cities.
   
• No More Unregulated Settlements: New developments will follow strict safety and environmental guidelines, protecting citizens and the environment.
   
• Sustainable Cities: Eco-friendly planning will prioritize clean energy, public parks, and long-term sustainability.
   
• Job Creation and ranking. 

                 Building 50,000 homes a year would create roughly 150,000–250,000 jobs           

                 annually and move Cameroon into the top 3 of Africa’s urbanization     

                 and active  

                housing producers .

This vision is about more than buildings and infrastructure, it’s about people. It’s about giving every Cameroonian the chance to live in a safe home, work in thriving clean and organized cities, learn in modern libraries, and trust in fair systems of justice.

Together, we will build a Cameroon where hope is restored, opportunities are everywhere, and the future belongs to all of us.
