7. CONCLUSIONS 
The consequences of the project are the low incomes and 
agricultural production in these communities which has lead to 
the on reduction of the number of children attending schools and 
increase of number of sick people in hospitals. Consequently we 
have proposed the optimum management approach concerning 
this project. This approach can contribute as a beginning of 
solution to the problem raised above. 
8. RECOMMANDATIONS 
- The government must put in place a good structure of 
management and information system analysis; 
- COTCO must undertake some complementary actions to 
improve the living conditions of these populations (the 
construction of complementary social infrastructures); 
- Help of COTCO for the reinsertion of households touched by 
the expropriation should be accompanied by a follow-up plan 
and technical support; 
- Help from the governments and research institutions, at both 
the national and international levels, should give top priority to 
research in agronomy, agricultural mechanisation, animal 
husbandry, agro- forestry, and socio- agro economics; 
- The population should be exhorted to follow information on 
the agricultural vulgarisation in the radio, the television and in 
newspapers as much as possible; 
9. PERSPECTIVES 
We can continue this research on the populations boarding the 
pipeline in the sahelian zones in the north Cameroon which has 
different economic activities, after investigation in these zones, 
we can propose solutions for the growth of the economic 
activities. After the present work, advises will be given to 
parties concerned with by the project to vulgarise the results of 
research by massive education and the communication of 
information to improve incomes and to correct the health of the 
population in order to reduce poverty in that area .
