The aim of this book was to determine the effect of community participation on social capital in Cameroon. If we consider that local development is a process by which a community manages to coordinate itself around objectives that fall within its territorial jurisdiction, it is clear that the real complexity linked to the emergence of a community lies in its ability to strengthen the links between the actors involved. As part of this research, we used data from the Afrobaromètre Round7 survey conducted in 2018 among 1202 individuals. The use of a recursive probitbivariate incorporating the constraint of full-time work supply enabled us to show that community involvement significantly amplifies relations of trust and solidarity in Cameroon. Hence, considering that high social capital is an expedient for the economic and social development of Cameroonian localities.
