Accommodating Forty Thousand Families in 10 Years
Editorial
The challenge of equitable access to decent, affordable housing is at the heart of Cameroon's concerns. With an ever-growing population, the demand for housing remains immense. At SIC, we have made this a priority, developing innovative and large-scale solutions. We have integrated an approach based on public-private partnerships (PPP) and project companies (SPV) to strengthen our financing capacity.
At the same time, we have introduced high-end construction, not only to support the social sector, but also to generate resources that will enable us to self-finance and reduce reliance on public funding. Thanks to these initiatives, we are actively working to produce thousands of quality homes to meet the country's urgent needs. Everyone's commitment is essential if we are to turn this vision into reality.

OUR EVOLUTION
Awakening of State Interest
The awakening of the State's interest in the housing sector through the creation of SIC in 1952, the development of land-related texts, and the financing of housing through external contributions. During this period, 3,200 housing units were produced by SIC.
Before 1976Partnership
Following the 1976 Vancouver Conference on Human Settlements (HABITAT I), there was a strong involvement of the State in promoting social housing through the triptych of Crédit Foncier du Cameroun (CFC created in 1977) / Mission d'Aménagement et d'Equipement des Terrains Urbains et Ruraux (MAETUR created in 1977) / Société Immobilière du Cameroun (SIC reorganized in 1978). The outcome of this period was 8,200 housing units built by SIC.
Between 1976 and 1986Crisis Period
This period was marked by the State's disengagement from housing production due to the economic recession. Barely two public operations producing a few hundred housing units were recorded.
Between 1986 and 2009Renewal and Reforms
Government program for the construction of 10,000 social housing units and the development of 50,000 buildable plots.
