Abstract
The rural milieu of Cameroon is lagging in development infrastructures. Local stake holders via local development committees invest in those areas to uplift the living standards of the populations. It is against this backdrop that this paper aims at making a comparative analysis of the actions of development committees in the Bangang Chientaincy (Bamboutos) since 1977 and in the township of Meskine (Diamare) since 1993, in order to evaluate the level of participation of local stake holders in the development of their land. Primary and secondary data have enabled us to analyze the actions of the development committee of Bangang (including its three subcommittees) with those of the Meskine central committee (including one subcommittee). The evaluation results situate respectively in Bangang and Meskine at 68% against 64% the rate of public actions accomplished by the committees, at 28% against 35% the rate of social actions, and at 4% against 1% the rate of economic actions.
