Abstract
Cameroon today is trapped in crises of
deteriorating economic conditions measured in terms of widespread unemployment,
abject poverty, and insecurity in the two English speaking regions,
exploitation and backwardness among others. The Cameroon Development
Corporation (CDC) has made a major contribution to regional economic
development in the South West region of Cameroon where it is located. It has
created employment for both men women, has constructed numerous roads, supplied
water electricity, built and staffed schools, awarded a substantial number of
scholarships, provided medical care for the large proportion of the local
population and has stimulated the supply of goods and services to itself and
its workers. The main findings of this research were to critically explore the
origins of the Anglophone conflict and its impact on the process of development
of the Cameroon Development Corporations (CDC). Following years of armed
conflict in the North west and South west regions of Cameroon, from 2016-2024
there has been very little opportunity for development planners to formulate
and implement suitable development plans due to constant fighting, destruction
of both physical and economic infrastructure and migration of the people. This
research used both qualitative and quantitative approaches to describe the
existing situation. Purposive non-probability sample and stratified random
sampling were employed in the selection of the study sample. The study reveal
that the coping strategies employed by plantation workers of the CDC to curb
the negative consequences of the Cameroon Anglophone conflict have failed to
ameliorate their living and working conditions.
