What this is

This non-tax revenue applies to the mandatory processing of applications for the issuance or renewal of the Environmental Permit in Cameroon. This regulatory instrument serves as the indispensable prior official authorization for any individual or corporate entity planning to operate in sectors with high ecological impacts, particularly waste management, treatment, and recycling; the manufacturing or importation of non-biodegradable packaging; and the deployment of specific industrial and agro-pastoral projects. Issued by MINEPDED, this permit formally certifies the compliance of the facility or project with current ecotoxicological and environmental standards.

At the counter

What readers say they paid

The law sets a fee. At the counter it is not always the one you pay. Here is what readers report, counted and summarised.

Nobody has reported an amount for this procedure yet.

If you have done it, say what you paid. We publish the figures together, never your account on its own.

Report what I paid

No name, no number, no link. We refuse those.

We publish how many reports there are, the range and the median. Never your report on its own, never an official's name, never a named office.
