Context
The public supply of drinking water, initially on a concession regime for approximately 40 years, underwent some reforms in 2005, thanks to the decree no 2005/494 of 31 December 2005 setting up the Cameroon Water Utilities Corporation (CAMWATER) and the decree no 2005/493 of 31 December 2005 laying down the procedures for delegation of public services of drinking water and sewerage in urban and suburban areas. The new institutional framework for the provision of drinking water in urban and suburban areas is now governed by a the public-private partnership based on a three-way relationship involving the State, la Camerounaise Des Eaux (CDE) and CAMWATER, in charge of managing on behalf of the State, the water supply in urban areas.
