Background\nOn November 16, 2020, the government of Cameroon presented to the public its new reference framework called: “National Development Strategy 2020-2030 (NDS30)”. This NDS30 will ensure emergence of the country by 2035. One of the main objectives of this new government strategy is to achieve an average growth of 8% over the next 10 years. To this end, the country plans to diversify its foreign trade by conquering markets with high development potential. As a first step, the Government plans to draw up an effective strategy for the development of trade with Nigeria, a country bordering Cameroon over 1,000 km (with 136 million inhabitants) and having many assets in terms of Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the field of industrial production. Trade with this country should cover the entire range of products, from primary products (oil), food and industrial products, to services (energy supply). Within this scope and given the socioeconomic context marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Nkafu Policy Institute of the Denis & Lenora Foretia Foundation is organizing the fourth session of the Nkafu Open Trade Initiative Discussion on the theme: Can Free Trade between Cameroon and Nigeria foster Cameroon’s Objective of Becoming an Emerging country?\n2.
