Located on Africa`s west coast, the Republic of Cameroon is bordered by Nigeria to the west; Chad to the northeast; the Central African Republic to the east; and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and the Republic of the Congo to the south. The country is called “Africa in miniature” for its geological and cultural diversity. Compared to other African countries, Cameroon enjoys relatively high political and social stability. Nevertheless, large numbers of Cameroonians live in poverty. The HIV prevalence in Cameroon is estimated at between five and 12% of the population.
