“…The involvement of business and civil society (Hutter and O’Mahony, 2004) in building national and local capacity for disaster risk management (DRM) (Brinkerhoff, 1999) is critical if governments in developing countries are to improve the transparency, quality and effectiveness of their policies (OECD, 2003; Vian et al , 2017). Considerable problems related to coordination and cooperation among stakeholders (Head and Alford, 2015) for efforts towards capacity building for DRM, legislative processes related to risks, disasters, and uncertainties, cannot simply be tackled by shared diplomacy, protection of national unity, and bureaucratic politics while, to date, these have been the modus operandi in Cameroon (Webler and Renn, 1995; Hai, 2010). Stakeholders within the state who are responsible for co-ordination and implementation of DRM capacity building programs (Shaw and Oikawa, 2014; UN/DRR, 2004; UN/DRR, 2018) tend to become weak and ineffective (Khan and Gray, 2006) because of high levels of intractable uncertainties engrained within public policy and administrative sectors in Cameroon (Bratton, 1994; Van Asselt and Renn, 2011; Van Kersbergen and Van Waarden, 2004).…”
