Populations and authorities give the impression of being indifferent, leaving the task to the Hygiene and sanitation Company of Cameroon (HYSACAM). The latter’s trucks go around neighbourhoods every day to collect the garbage, but the task is so huge that more efforts need to be made.

More importantly, populations need education, especially regarding the stream water that they use for all sorts of activities, including cooking, washing and so on. Education campaigns are regularly organised but their fruits are still to be seen.
