This study on the evaluation of the performance of the portfolios of technical and financial partners of rural development projects and programmes in Cameroon, was carried out between July 2018 and November 2019. Its overall objective was to contribute to the assessment of the performance of projects and programmes in order to propose areas for improvement with a view to their overall success. Specifically, it was a question of assessing the technical and financial performance of rural development projects and programmes in Cameroon. The data were collected during individual and group interviews with the various stakeholders of development projects and programmes in Cameroon. Three hundred and sixty-nine (369) people, including representatives of technical and financial support agencies, project and programme staff, strategic and operational partners, beneficiaries and residents were surveyed with a participation rate of 91.86%. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis with SPSS version 26 and Excel. For other types of data, we verified their consistency against existing literature. The analysis of the data shows that seventeen (17) main technical and financial support agencies have been involved in the rural sector over the past two decades through fifty-six (56) rural development projects and programmes. The number of projects and programmes by portfolio of technical and financial support agencies varies from 2% for the smallest portfolio to 14% for the largest portfolio. The best performing technical and financial support agencies have a portfolio performance of 82% compared to 6% for the least performing. The portfolios of technical and financial partners, whose performance is very satisfactory, are those who have projects and programmes for setting up infrastructure such as the construction of slaughterhouses, rural electrification or the construction of factories etc. Moreover, it appears from our analysis that 53% of the financial resources granted by the technical and financial support agencies are not disbursed, which gives an average overall financial performance of 47%.

Abstract: (french)
Cette étude sur l’évaluation de la performance des portefeuilles des partenaires techniques et financiers des projets et programmes de développement rural au Cameroun, a été réalisée entre Juillet 2018 à Novembre 2019. Elle avait pour objectif global, de contribuer à l’appréciation des performances des projets et programmes afin de proposer des axes d’améliorations dans une perspective de réussite globale desdits projets et Programmes. De manière spécifique, il était question d’évaluer les performances technico-financières des projets et programmes de développement rural au Cameroun. Les données ont été collectées lors des entretiens individuels et de groupes avec les différentes parties prenantes des projets et programmes de développement au Cameroun. Trois cent soixante-neuf (369) personnes, à l'instar des représentants des agences d’appuis techniques et financières, des personnels des projets et programmes, des partenaires stratégiques et opérationnels, des bénéficiaires et des personnes riveraines ont été enquêtées avec un taux de participation de 91,86%. Les statistiques descriptives ont été utilisées pour l’analyse des données avec les logiciels SPSS version 26 et Excel. Pour d'autres types de données, nous avons vérifié leur cohérence par comparaison à la littérature existante. Il ressort de l’analyse des données que: dix-sept (17) principales agences d’appuis techniques et financiers sont intervenues dans le secteur rural ces deux dernières décennies à travers cinquante-six (56) projets et programmes de développement rural. Le nombre de projets et programmes par portefeuille des agences d’appuis techniques et financiers varie de 2% pour le plus petit portefeuille et 14% pour le plus grand portefeuille. Les agences d’appuis techniques et financiers les plus performants ont des performances de leurs portefeuilles de 82% contre 6% pour les moins performants. Les portefeuilles des partenaires techniques et financiers dont les performants sont très satisfaisantes, sont ceux qui ont des projets et programmes de mise en place des infrastructures telles que la construction des abatoires, l’electrification rurale ou la construction des usines etc. Par ailleurs, il ressort de notre analyse que 53% des ressources financières accordées par les agences d’appuis techniques et financiers ne sont pas décaissées, ce qui donne une performance financière globale moyenne de 47%.
