North Province

Garoua is the headquarters of this province. It is also a home to migrants coming from Chad and the Far north especially during long periods of drought. This province has fertile soils around the Benue plain which is usually irrigated during dry periods. It also has a major hydroelectric dam (the Lagdo) south of Garoua. 
    Rural development is also highly promoted here thanks to the efforts of SODECOTON an agro industrial actor, which promotes the cultivation of cotton and food crops by providing inputs to farmers.
    Another important aspect in this province is tourism that is greatly favored by the presence of natural parks like those of Benue, Faro and Bouba Ndjida.
