- ABSTRACT With a focus on sustainable development goal 1, ‘end poverty’, this research has examined the link between changing from a One-Party to a multi-party system and poverty reduction. The research analyses the ineffectiveness of the opposition political parties in a multiparty system as one of the ignored reasons for slow progress in poverty reduction in Cameroon between 1990 and 2022. The study results suggest that the change from a One-Party system to a multi-party system may help in poverty reduction in the long run when the government decides to collaborate with their opposing political parties. This is so, because poverty causes vary across regions, as well as across countries, as it remains a preoccupation of most economies, even in those with effective and functioning opposition political parties. The effectiveness of the opposition political parties in Ghana and Senegal has helped so far in the process to reduce poverty in their respective economies, but they are still finding it difficult to eradicate it as its causes keep evolving. Cameroon is so special a case with its multiparty political system of more than 318 registered political parties, by 2020, according to the country’s Ministry of Territorial Administration, shared between ethnic and regional lines, (F. Nyamnjoh and Michael Rowlands 1998 Almost, if not all of the Cameroon government’s efforts to reduce poverty from the early 90s till 2020 have not or have yielded very insignificant fruits, as poverty continues to be one of the most threatening issues for the country that continues to register an increase in its population every moment of the day. This does not mean that if the opposition political parties become effective, poverty will be eradicated, because the concept is multidimensional, as argued by many scholars.
