Cameroon, The success of the Triennial of Inhabitants

Yaoundé: Large mobilisation for the Right to the City leading the way towards the right to housing

The fourth edition of the Triennial of Inhabitants took place from 26 to 28 November 2014 in Yaoundé on the theme “Make the Right to the City a prerequisite to the right to adequate housing ”. It was successful on all fronts, mobilising nearly 800 participants who came from 91 municipalities, and from towns and villages from the 10 regions of Cameroon. It marked the transition to the right approach, characterised by the organisation of resistance movements, social mobilisation, democratic and citizen control of the city and the implementation of alternatives to neoliberal urban policies.
