Intended to frame national health policy until the 2030 horizon, this device redefines the modalities of bilateral cooperation in public health, within the continuity of two decades of continuous financial support from Washington, which had already injected over $1.1 billion into the country.


The originality and strength of this new architecture lie in an innovative cost-sharing mechanism. Of the total envelope, the U.S. side will contribute $400 million, or approximately 240 billion CFA francs, while the Cameroonian State commits to mobilizing an amount exceeding that, set at $450 million, or nearly 270 billion CFA francs, in the form of direct co-investment in its health system. This requirement for increased participation by the national executive reflects a shared volonté to perpetuate gains and ensure a complete transition toward sovereign management of health infrastructure and programs.

The funds thus mobilized will be directly allocated to the strategic sectors of health surveillance, the fight against major pandemics such as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria, as well as the modernization of pharmaceutical supply chains and the technical platforms of health districts.


By structuring their interventions around measurable results and strengthened integration of digital data, the two partners aim to equip the country with the resilient capacities necessary to face transborder epidemic threats, establishing public health as a fundamental pillar of national socio-economic development.
