Disparity and Misuse of Diasporas' Resources in Africa: The Case of Cameroon

Abstract

 In Africa today, Diaspora population is one of the factors of development. Through the transfers of remittances from their host country, it ameliorates and improves living condition of many households. The pessimistic ideology of migration could be replaced with an optimistic vision which is a factor of economic revival and development. In certain countries in Africa, the migrant is considered a "hero" because he contributes to the economic takeoff. Cameroon is still at the stage of the reflection. Its programs, to mobilize the Diaspora for the development of the country are still at the infant stage. In Africa in general, the use of these funds is still heterogeneous and disparate. The restructuring and the elaboration of migratory policies with more programs, would allow a revival of the African economy from resources of the international migration by taking in account, the case of Cameroon.
