Cameroon is a signatory to the Georgetown Agreement on the organization of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP). Concluded in Georgetown on 6 June 1975 and revised by Decision No.1/ CX/19 of the 110th session of the ACP Council of Ministers, approved by the 9th Summit of Heads of State and Government held on 9 and 10 December 2019 in Nairobi, this Agreement aims at, among other specific objectives to:
a). Contributing to the development of important and close economic, commercial and cultural relations between the ACP States and, in general, between developing countries, and to this end develop the exchange of information in the commercial, technological, industrial and natural and human resources fields;
b). Contributing to the promotion of effective regional and inter-regional cooperation between ACP States and developing countries in general, and strengthen links between the regional organizations of which they are members
To this end, a regional centre for the development of South-South and triangular cooperation has been set up in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. In April 2020, the ACP Group of States became the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), an international organization with 79 members, following the entry into force of the revised Georgetown Agreement.
