The rules that apply when you use the portal of the Investment Promotion Agency of Cameroon.
Version of 21 October 2026
Questions about these terms: [email protected]
Who runs the portal
The portal is run by the Investment Promotion Agency of Cameroon (Agence de Promotion des Investissements, API). For any question about these terms, write to the address shown at the top of this page.
What the portal offers
The portal gives information on investing in Cameroon. It also lets you submit a file and follow its progress, verify a document signed electronically by the API, and obtain an accreditation for the Cameroon Investment Forum.
Your account
An account belongs to one person. You sign in with Google or with your email address; keep your password to yourself and tell us if you think someone else is using it.
The API may suspend an account that is misused or used against these terms.
Files you submit
You are responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of the information and documents you submit, and you must have the right to share them. The API processes files under its own procedures.
Deadlines shown on the portal are indicative targets, not guarantees.
Electronically signed documents
Documents signed by the API carry an electronic seal. Anyone can check one on the verification page. A document changed after signing no longer passes the check.
Accreditations
Prices are in CFA francs (XAF). You pay through payment providers, by Mobile Money or by card where offered; card payments are charged in euros at 655.957 XAF per euro. An accreditation belongs to one named person and can be transferred through the portal until the event ends.
Refunds are never automatic: one member of the API’s staff prepares each refund and a second approves it. To ask for one, write to the address at the top of this page. Entry to the forum remains subject to the event’s own conditions.
Personal data
How the portal handles your personal data is described in the privacy notice.
Availability and liability
The portal is provided as is. The API aims to keep it available at all times but cannot guarantee it. The information pages are general and are not legal or tax advice.
To the extent the law allows, the API is not liable for indirect loss.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Cameroon. Any dispute goes to the competent courts of Yaoundé.
Changes
The API may update these terms. The date of the current version is shown at the top of this page.
