Cameroon's ministry of the Urban development and the housing has commissioned experts to draft a social development plan in favour of the most vulnerable groups in the cities of Yaounde and Douala.
The development plan will have to plan the actions, programs and projects to be implemented, to improve the access of the populations to water, electrical power, health care and sanitation and education among others.
A report of the National Institute of Statistics indicates that about 2 million people are reported to be in the vulnerable categories in the two cities. Half of the households in Yaounde and Douala have no electricity while three quarters have no access to drinking water.
The report also mentions food insecurity and inundations that victimise majority of those vulnerable people.
