description |
Cameroon is a model example of a
developing country facing the challenges of trade
facilitation, in light of its geographic location within
Central Africa. Close to 20 percent of its customs revenues
are used to finance the national budget. Cameroon's
customs administration therefore plays a critical role in
its economy. This paper presents the modernization process
launched in Cameroon customs in 2006 and, in particular, the
original approach adopted the very early introduction of
operational internal control as the keystone of the reform
process under way. Beyond the technical measures in and of
themselves, the document seeks to show one aspect of
Cameroon's reform experience: how technical measures,
namely the definition and dissemination of indicators based
on a number of principles, have contributed to increased
revenues and stronger ethics, an experience that could be
replicated in other Sub-Saharan African countries. |
