Centre

The Centre region encompasses ten departments with Yaoundé as its capital, covering 68,953 square kilometers of varied terrain including hills and plateaus.

The Centre region emerged in 1983 when the Centre-South Province separated into two distinct administrative territories during Cameroon's governmental reorganization.

Multiple ethnic groups in the Centre region maintain their individual languages, traditional farming methods, and communal practices across the ten administrative departments.

The region features an extensive network of roads connecting its departments, with public transportation services operating between major towns and the capital Yaoundé.

Located at 643 meters above sea level, the Centre region hosts both Cameroon's political capital and main governmental institutions within its territory.
