The specific objective of the PER is to critically evaluate the role and contribution of the energy sector in the long-term growth of Cameroon. The PER also allows to estimate the potential, but also the constraints of the sector to make Cameroon a country which can satisfy both domestic demand and export its production to neighboring countries or interconnected sub-regional networks. The study has provided the necessary information to banks and other donors in the development of interventions to support the sector and the priorities of authorities but also to objectively assess the performance of public expenditure.
