Cameroon Departments 2011

Ces données présentent les limites administratives à l'échelle des départements au Cameroun. Elles ont été obtenues auprès de l'Institut National de la Cartographie (INC) à la suite du passage des provinces aux régions et de la création de nouveaux départements. Ce nouveau découpage est intégré dans l'Atlas Version 3.0 et permettrait ainsi de résoudre les conflits relatifs au partage de la redevance forestière émanant des limites territoriales confuses entre les départements.
