In August 2022, Cameroon opted for a unified approach to planning the construction of roads, ports, railways, and airports, in order to avoid fragmented and costly projects. To this end, the Minister of Public Works (Mintp) and his counterpart at the Ministry of Transport signed a joint draft decree establishing the Monitoring and Implementation Committee for the Integrated Multimodal Transport Infrastructure Strategy in Cameroon (S2ITM). This committee serves as a tool to assist in programming and planning investments in the transport sector in general. Transport is a strategic sector for the dynamism of Cameroon's economy and its transformation. Therefore, the performance of transport networks and resources is central to development and poverty reduction efforts due to the significant economic and social implications.

Transportation is also a key factor in business competitiveness, particularly price competitiveness. Finally, transportation systems are a powerful tool for structuring and developing the territory.

With regard to social issues, the role of the transport sector in improving access to essential or basic social services is particularly important.

Finally, the transport sector is a major job creator. For example, urban and suburban travel in the country's two largest cities, Douala and Yaoundé, is provided by the informal sector, with small operators driving taxis, minibuses, and motorcycle taxis. These operators create over 821 TFPs of jobs and account for approximately 401 TFPs of the sector's output.

Transport infrastructure, including roads, railways, airports and ports, forms the foundation upon which the development and competitiveness of the Cameroonian economy must be built.
