| dc.description.alternativeAbstract | At a point when Cameroon has a vision of becoming an emerging economy by 2035, Policy design and implementation gaps remain a potential threat for Cameroon not to achieve it vision. Most policies in Cameroon are always well designed, but at the level of implementation, they always face the challenges of poor policy implementation leading to policy gaps. I argue that, the existence of gaps between public policy that are design by the government and the extent of their implementation in Cameroon is a consequence of Administrative Abuse of power within the civil service. This design and implementation gaps come as a result of much bureaucracy in Cameroon civil service. The bureaucratic setting of the civil service has contributed to other administrative problems within the civil service such as non-accountability and lack of transparency, Corruption, Nepotism and Unequal development. Over the years, these consequences have clearly proven the rampancy of policy designed and implementation gaps in Cameroon that has had a negative effect on Cameroon National development. Hence, the need to crack down the level of bureaucracy in order to eliminate administrative abuse of power is by giving room for effective decentralization and enforcing the rule of law within the civil service. This could be a possible solution for Cameroon to bridge policy gaps and achieve its vision of becoming an emerging economy. | - |
