The protection and promotion of land acquisition in Cameroon is ensured through a number of legal and administrative institutions established by the State to regulate land ownership, guarantee security of tenure and ensure land transactions are conducted in accordance with the law. These institutions operate within the framework established by the 1974 Land Ordinances, which reorganized the Land tenure system and create mechanisms for the management and allocation of land. Key institutions such as the Ministry of State Property, Surveys and Land Tenure, Land Consultative Boards, local administrative authorities and the courts play significant roles in supervising land registration, resolving disputes and ensuring that the procedures for acquiring both private and public land are respected. Despite the important, the effectiveness of these institutions is sometimes challenged by administrative delays and corruption. Nevertheless, their existence remains fundamental in promoting secure land tenure, facilitating lawful land transactions and strengthening confidence in the administration system in Cameroon. This article is based on the hypothetical premise that the role the institutions put in place to protect and promote land acquisition in Cameroon is ineffective. It seeks to examine the effectiveness of the role of the institutions in protecting and promoting land acquisition. Adopting the Doctrinal research method, the paper concludes that with improved coordination, institutional reforms, greater transparency and stronger enforcement of land laws, these bodies can more effectively fulfil their mandate of ensuring secure land tenure, reducing land disputes and encouraging sustainable land development and investment in Cameroon.
