ABSTRACT
This piece of work seeks to examine Poverty Reduction and Hunger as a Millennium Development objective as was implemented in the year 2000 by the United Nations Organization under the Secretary Generalship of Kofi Attah Annan. The Goals were eight in number including 22 targets and 61 indicators. The year 2015 was given as a deadline for realization of the Goals. As far as Poverty reduction and hunger is concerned, a critical analysis have made on the extent to which the government of Cameroon implemented MDGs in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon (northwest and southwest regions) in order to eradicate poverty and hunger.
Some projects have been chosen to demonstrate the willingness of the state to eradicate poverty and improve the standard of living in the Anglophone regions like the proposed Deep Seaport in Limbe and the G cement factory. The reasons for the non-execution or non- realization of the earmarked projects have been blamed on poor governance and institutions put in place by the central government. Analysis on the impact of poor governance on the political, economic and socio-cultural life of the people of southern Cameroon have equally been examined. Lastly, some recommendations as a solution on the way forward for a successful eradication of poverty and hunger and perhaps the implementation of the Sustainable development goals has also been elaborated.
