Choosing an economic model for our country is rather an ambiguous task as both foreign aid and having economic freedom is essential for economic growth. But drawing from the fact that the impact of foreign aids on economic growth of recipient countries especially in Africa has been a topic of ongoing debate, it seems no particular theory can adequately measure the effect foreign aids has on economic growth. The effectiveness of foreign aid solely depends on the individual country. Over the years, Cameroon has received aids for the fight against Boko haram, prevention of HIV/AIDS, malaria and some infrastructural projects just to name a few. Therefore in our case, I will say it’s a two way, to make good use of foreign aids and to encourage economic activities to gain total economic freedom in the long run. Wealth creation is an indispensable factor in an economically free society. In creating our own businesses, we tend to solve our underlying problems and of course creating wealth in the process. For instance, in the 2018 financial year, the tertiary sector contributed positively to the growth of the GDP particularly non marketing services such as those of public administration and financial services. Whereas foreign aid is fully consumed and substitutes rather than complements domestic resources. It also assists in the imports of inappropriate goods and distorts domestic income distribution. A country with a good economy has freewill to choose what international organizations to belong to or what relationships to foster. It is true most foreign aids are meant to solve transnational problems but most have ulterior motives and come with conditions that do not support the development of the country but proves to be beneficial only to the giver in the long run. Therefore, having economic freedom a country can analyse the cost-benefit of belonging to a particular organization. For example, last march, Cameroon was suspended from the World trade Organization for not paying its contributions up to 180 million FCFA which is not only a financial burden to the country but tarnishes the image of the country. Foreign aid does not improve living standards. Of course there is increase of cash in the economy but it doesn’t affect the local household and creates poverty in the long-run because money that could be used to invest in the economy is used to repay debts. A stable political atmosphere and good business climate will attract investors from within and without. With a sense of ownership, individuals will be more accountable and transparency will be at a top notch. Thereby limiting the receipt of aids which when not needed are easily wasted and not accounted for. From the above appreciations, I can give the following recommendations. These recommendations are strictly my own thoughts which I think when followed, will lead us to an economically free society in the shortest period of time. - Improvement in the management system of water and electricity to fuel economic activities hitch free. It should be noted there was a drop of water and electricity supply in the 4th quarter of 2018 as compared to the same quarter in 2017. Meanwhile, state institutions should strategize ways to service their debts with ENEO which according to the General Manager amounts to about 100billion by today. - Enormous pressure in human capital development in the fields of technology, chemical production and setting up technological plants. The government should also continue to encourage local groups, NGOs and individuals with objectives of encouraging technological know-how. - Proper use of the country’s legal tender to ease business activities. Meanwhile, strict laws and sanctions should be meted on those who will default. If not, the promise to fuel the economy with more coins by November 2019 will be futile. - The political situation in the country should be addressed with urgency because for business and economic activities to flourish, there must be a calm and serene political atmosphere. Especially in the southwest which is a major basin of cocoa production. - Efforts should be geared towards industrialization to ease transformation of raw materials and farm produce. - Procedures should be followed so that the approved loan of 13billion FCFA signed by the State in June 2018 to CDC be released or the 3.7 billion FCFA released be cashed and paid to the workers for their salary arrears so that procedures to begin work can progress notwithstanding the addressing of the ongoing crisis. - Proper management of the public service information system. The availability of the SIGIPES II will be a major breakthrough in the management of the public service information system which takes a reasonable share in the state budget. This will help curb many irregularities in the sector. It should be noted that this Management Information System was supposed to be operational since 2016 with 7.67 billion FCFA granted by the European Union to furnish the project. - The government is already a step ahead in presenting to the National Assembly a proposal of withdrawing or limiting their membership to some international organizations due to financial constraints. They should go further to put into perspective only those necessary after crosschecking their cost-benefit analysis even when it comes to foreign aids. - The government should reduce contracting of loans as this proves as a burden in the long run for the state. Just in the first quarter of 2019, Cameroon paid debts amounting to 138.2 billion FCFA. External debts paid stood at 106.2 billion FCFA while domestic debts stood at 32 billion FCFA. Money which if invested will boost economic activities. Or better still, contract more partnerships in human investment. Cameroon is a great country with enormous potentials. Though we are faced with hard times, I think if we take the right measures which are encouraging economic freedom in all its forms, we will emerge.
