Belgium would’ve funded a project of extension of drinking water for 60 million euros as part of the Belgian-Cameroonian cooperation.

The newspaper L’Epervier edition of March 22, 2016, said that some personalities in Cameroon are jailed because of misuse found in the funds allocated for the projects. One learns that Belgium claims from the Cameroon government 39 billion FCFA. It is a story that dates back to the year 2010.

The funding provided by Belgium was on a proposed rehabilitation, reinforcement and extension of drinking water systems.
