Rehabilitation of Scan Water Stations in the North-West Region of Cameroon: The Need for Communication for Development

Dr. Ndonko Peguy

Abstract: Water is essential for the life of all beings on earth, and especially humans. The State of Cameroon, sensitive to the needs of the populations, has always resolved to assist the population with their most vital needs. To eradicate water-related diseases, the state had invested in water supply through the Scan water project. This project had failed due to multiple errors. The State has again undertaken to rehabilitate this initiative to provide quality water and ensure the quality of health to the Cameroonian population. The data collection method is specific to social sciences (structured interviews with key actors) and the theory of interpersonal communication will contribute to the analysis of this data. This rehabilitation in the North West region has come up against the crisis that is raging in this region. A communication strategy is necessary for the success of this initiative. The second failure of this project is due to the non-involvement of the populations and the lack of communication for development.
