摘要:The aim of the study is to find out < the Economic Effects of the Chad-Cameroon P ipeline Project on Agriculture in the rural area of BIPINDI (Cameroon) >. We want to study the activities of the neighbouring population which are linked to agriculture. The objective of our research is to study the influence on agricultures economic incomes and the management modalities of unforeseen circumstances related to the pipeline in this Zone from 1995 to 2002. This will help us to determine the living standard of the affected population. It will also help us to analyse the consequences of the project on the education of children and health care. It will finally help us to suggest a method of maximum management impact of the project in the household. We have selected six villages for our investigation and <Stratified Random Sampling> method was use to select the household affected. We came out with 334 households selected out of 454 censured in 1997 by COTCO (Cameroon oil transportation company ) for a percentage of 73.54 %. This data has been analysed on the base of Cost Benefit Analysis Method and also by P roject Effect. The result obtained permit us to conclude that there has been reduction of production hence a fall in revenues from agriculture produce. The consequences of this were seen on reduction of the number of children attending school and increase of number of sick people in hospitals. Consequently we have proposed the optimum management approach concerning this project
