Moundamé is a small town in the province of Mayo-Dané in the Northern Region of Cameroon, located near the confluence of the Logone and Pendel Rivers and adjacent to the border with neighboring Chad. It has a typical Sahelian climate, with distinct dry and rainy seasons, and a predominantly agro-pastoral economy, with a regional distribution center for livestock and agricultural products.
The town is situated on an alluvial plain on the southern edge of the Lake Chad basin, with a flat terrain and a population of about several thousand people, dominated by nomadic pastoralists such as the Fulbe and Kanuri. Because of its proximity to the border, the town is characterized by a cross-cultural mix, with Fulani and French spoken and Islam as the main religion.
The economy is dependent on seasonal agriculture (millet, sorghum) and cattle and sheep farming, and the weekly livestock market is an important regional trade node. Roads connect the provincial capital, Kaale, to the border town of Kuseli, and river transportation is available for small boats during the dry season; infrastructure is relatively basic.
The threat of desertification has increased in recent years due to the effects of climate change, and flooding is frequent during the rainy season. The government is promoting drought-resistant crop cultivation and flood control projects, as well as developing cross-border trade based on the border location to promote regional economic resilience.
