Abstract

In this article, we analyse the effectiveness of the altruistic policy for local development in Cameroon. We use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. Datas used are from 61 chiefdoms in the city of Yaoundé. The empirical results obtained show that the philanthropic funds received (inputs) make it possible to finance economic and social infrastructures: outputs (schools, health centers, construction of water supply bridges, electricity, etc.). We recommend that the main actors in local development work together to promote altruism and philanthropic donations for the development of local infrastructure.
