Although the bamboo sector can contribute enormously towards ensuring sustainable development in Cameroon, information on the policy and legal framework governing the bamboo sector are limited. This paper analyses the current policies and/or programmes on thematic areas such as forestry, environment, landscape restoration, bio-energy, and rural employment, relevant to the development of the bamboo sector in Cameroon. It was produced as part of the Inter-Africa Bamboo Smallholder Farmers Livelihood Development Programme, funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
