Résumé anglais The neo-liberal model has failed in Cameroon and has led to crisis situations and multiple deprivations. The State answers only to the expectations and diktats of its international debtors. In this context women working in the informal economy are organising to find alternative solutions, so witnessing to the struggle to counter the feminisation of poverty and foster local development for the benefit of all. The drive and initiative of Bayam-Sellam women from the peoples' markets of Douala and Yaoundé, who go back a long way in the history of Cameroon, work to break the financial stranglehold and offset the effects of the modernisation and the lack of security it has inflicted.
