Cameroon is touting the construction of solar energy in electricity-starved rural communities across the country as part of the government’s ambitious plans to become an emerging economy by 2035. The project, environmentalists and local council authorities say, will not only help fight against poverty but will also help save the country’s disappearing forest.

The rural solar power drive that has already taken off in some local councils government say is geared at bringing new development stimulating perspective that to change the livelihood of village communities. Cameroon’s President Paul Biya has also thrown his hefty weight behind the project.
