Abstract

The aim of this study is to assess the technical efficiency of the use of investment resources allocated to municipalities in Cameroon. The data used come from the Special Inter-municipal Equipment and Intervention Fund (FEICOM), the National Participatory Development Programme (PNDP) and the Public Investment Budget (BIP), for the period 2010 to 2020, and the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. The results shows that the BIP counter has the highest efficiency score, at 1 for the whole period, while the scores of the FEICOM and PNDP windows are 0.896 and 0.857 respectively. Secondly, the pooling of resources from the different windows increases the efficiency score obtained, an average of 0.96 for the whole period, even if the new scores remain lower than those of BIP. These results, which highlight the good performance of the BIP window, justified by the significant learning effects from which this window benefits.

分配给喀麦隆市政当局的投资资源的使用效率如何？

本研究旨在评估喀麦隆市政当局投资资源使用的技术效率。所使用的数据来自 2010 年至 2020 年期间的市镇间设备和干预特别基金（FEICOM）、国家参与发展计划（PNDP）和公共投资预算（BIP），并使用了数据包络分析（DEA）方法。结果显示，公共投资预算窗口的效率得分最高，在整个期间为 1，而 FEICOM 窗口和 PNDP 窗口的得分分别为 0.896 和 0.857。其次，汇集不同窗口的资源提高了效率得分，整个期间平均为 0.96，尽管新的得分仍然低于 BIP 的得分。这些结果凸显了 BIP 窗口的良好表现，证明了该窗口受益于显著的学习效应。

We also aim to provide a professional forum for the discussion of contemporary public policy issues and actively seek survey articles, appraisals of current policy debates, shorter notes and book reviews.
