From 2 to 6 February 2026, a mission of World Bank mid-term review of the Local Governance Project and resilient communities (Prolog).

A correspondence sent on January 20, 2026 by the World Bank's divisional director for West and South Africa Center to the Minister of the Economy, Alamine Ousmane Mey indicates that the mission of mid-term review should be “an opportunity to finalize the restructuring requested by the Cameroonian government (...) as well as the partial reprogramming of priority activities in Cameroon”. Au the core of the restructuring mentioned is the withdrawal of 90 billion CFA francs, corresponding to 150 million dollars initially scheduled for Prolog. Compared to the announced global envelope, of 180 billion FCFA (300 millions of dollars), the transaction is equivalent to a 50% decrease in funding.

The Prolog aims to improve community access to climate-resilient infrastructure and to strengthen local capacities resource management and service delivery. But the execution financial crisis is emerging as the main point of tension. The Prolog is a investment project financed to the tune of 180 billion FCFA (300) millions of dollars) and planned for a period of five years. He's targeting six regions: Adamaoua, East, Far North, North, North West and South West.

Based on figures reported by Investing at Cameroon, around 9% of credits had been consumed by 30 November 2025, for an operational implementation initiated since March 2024. Cela corresponds, according to the article, to 15.8 billion FCFA consumed out of a total announced around 180 billion FCFA. The World Bank believes, always according to this information, that the current pace does not allow the absorption of remaining resources by the expected closure in September 2027.
