Abstract: This research lampoons on the inquisition of democracy and economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is subjected to a single case study-Cameroon. The study uses empirical analysis to manifest inconsistency on the relationship between democracy and economic growth. The key purpose of this study therefore centers within three main interests. First, to establish whether or not Cameroon is a democratic country second, investigating if there is a correlation between democracy and economic growth in Cameroon and what the nature of such this correlation if any is. The main outcome drawn from this empirical study rests on the fact that there is a very weak relationship between democracy and economic growth in Cameroon, an outcome which leaves much to be desired as the country seems to be one of the few Sub Saharan African countries that has enjoyed an over flow of political stability and abundant natural resources.
Keywords: Gender equality, HDI, GDP, Democracy, Economic growth.
