Cameroon lies between 2° and 13° north latitude and between 8° and 16° east longitude in west central Africa. The country has a total land area of about 475,440 sq. km and a coastline of 402 km and its climate varies with the terrain. This is characterized by high year-round temperatures and the weather is controlled by equatorial and tropical air masses.

A Country Water Partnership (CWP) according to the Global Water Partnership (GWP) Organisation is seen as a body that is made up of the GWP Partners in a country.

As a global action network, GWP reaches out to a wide range of stakeholders in order to bring about changes to the way water resources are managed. Ideally, institutions join GWP as a Partner in order to enjoy the full range of benefits. It is possible that some institutions are not able to join. Nevertheless, GWP still wants to work in close partnership with as many institutions as possible that share our vision for a water secure world. To that end, we have Strategic Allies. We work with some of them informally, with others we have a formal Memoradum of Understanding (MoU documents are listed in the right-hand column). Below, a list of GWP's global Strategic Allies.
