Results-based management is no longer the exclusive preserve of the commercial sector. The majority of countries in America, Asia, Europe and even Africa have also made it their prerogative. State strategic planning, introduced by MAC NAMARA in the United States in the early 1960s, has brought with it requirements for economic transparency, which are taken into account in the drive to improve public finance management at both community and state level. To achieve this, Cameroon had to undertake a complete overhaul of its budgetary and financial procedure charters; a set of reforms affecting the way Cameroon’s public administration was organized and operated. Cleaner management and modernization of public administrations, the quest for efficiency through the achievement of objectively pre-determined Results, and the attainment of economic development are at the heart of the reforms by which Cameroon now advocates performance through strategic planning.
