CONTEXT AND JUSTIFICATION
To support Cameroon in its initiatives to manage the risks of escalating violence and its decentralization policy, the World Bank has granted the Government of Cameroon a loan of $300 million (approximately 189 billion CFA francs) to implement the Local Governance and Community Resilience Project (PROLOG). This project combines support for decentralisation focused on development commitments while strengthening the resilience capacities of communities, particularly vulnerable households affected by conflicts.
The project's development objective is to improve communities' access to climate-resilient infrastructure and strengthen local capacity to manage resources and provide services. To achieve this objective, the project is structured around four components:
Component 1: Improving community infrastructure and basic services;
Component 2: Improving the governance framework at multiple levels and the capacity of decentralised agencies to provide services;
Component 3: Project management, monitoring, and evaluation;
Component 4: Contingency Emergency Response Component (CERC): This component will establish an emergency fund that can be triggered in case of a human-made crisis, public health crisis, or natural disaster, by the official declaration of a national emergency, or upon official request from a member of the Government of Cameroon.
As part of its implementation, PROLOG provides grants to Regional and Local Authorities (RLAs) through three windows, namely;
- The grant for community infrastructure window, open to Councils CISG);
- The subsidy for inter municipal infrastructure window, open to Regions (IIC);
- The performance-based subsidy window, open to all RLAs.
To ensure the effective implementation of infrastructure projects resulting from funding for Councils, the National Coordinator of PROLOG launches a General Call for Expression of Interest for the compilation of a register of companies interested in delivering climate-resilient infrastructure in the South-West Region under the Local Governance and Resilient Communities Project (PROLOG) for financial years 2026 and 2027.
