Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon
Cameroon is a land of much promise, but a land of unfulfilled promises. It has the potential to be an economically developed and democratic society but the struggle to live up to its potential has not gone well. Since independence there have been only two presidents of Cameroon; the current one has been in office since 1982.

These case studies cover a range of projects or programmes in different continents and focus on several issues that affect the lives of slum-dwellers, including housing, services provision, capacity building, and income generation. Each study incorporates an aspect of scaling-up and this book considers a range of scaling-up methods, including peer training, exchange visits, information networks, and appropriate communication."--BOOK JACKET.
