Abstract
This thesis examines Cameroon’s Vision 2035 plan—its progress to date and future prospects—guided by the research question: What is the current state of Cameroon’s Vision 2035 plans? Using secondary data from the World Bank, tradingcameroon and the IMF, the analysis is organized around the plan’s four headline goals: reducing poverty to below 10%, attaining middle‑income status, becoming a newly industrialized nation and achieving emergence by 2035. Quantitative indicators are presented with graphs, tables and figures where available, and some specific objectives are assessed qualitatively due to data constraints. The literature on national systems of innovation provides the conceptual frame linking innovation policy to development outcomes. The findings indicate that, despite the country’s rich natural and human potential, progress toward emergence remains limited; a key barrier identified is sustained underinvestment in innovation—reported as less than 1% of the national budget—which hampers growth and industrialization. The thesis concludes with policy implications and recommendations, including the introduction of demand‑side, supply‑side and social innovation policies, to accelerate growth, reduce poverty and strengthen national unity.
Dette speciale undersøger Camerouns Vision 2035-plan, herunder den hidtidige udvikling og fremtidige udsigter, med udgangspunkt i forskningsspørgsmålet: Hvad er den aktuelle status for Camerouns Vision 2035-planer? Analysen bygger på sekundære data fra Verdensbanken, tradingcameroon og IMF og er struktureret omkring planens fire hovedmål: at reducere fattigdom til under 10 %, opnå mellemindkomststatus, blive en nyindustrialiseret nation og blive et fremvoksende land i 2035. Kvantitative indikatorer præsenteres i grafer, tabeller og figurer, mens nogle delmål vurderes kvalitativt på grund af databegrænsninger. Litteraturen om nationale innovationssystemer anvendes som begrebsramme til at forbinde innovationspolitik med udviklingsresultater. Resultaterne indikerer, at fremskridtene mod emergence er begrænsede trods landets betydelige naturressourcer og unge befolkning; en central barriere er vedvarende underinvestering i innovation—angivet som under 1 % af det nationale budget—som hæmmer vækst og industrialisering. Specialet afsluttes med politiske implikationer og anbefalinger, herunder indføring af efterspørgselsdrevne, udbudsdrevne og sociale innovationspolitikker, for at accelerere vækst, reducere fattigdom og styrke national enhed.
