Despite the existence of abundant natural resources in Cameroon, including a very rich biodiversity of flora and fauna, the country is still characterized by a precarious development landscape, plagued by problems such as abject poverty, lack of basic supplies, serious health challenges from bacterial and parasitic diseases, and the unaffordability of synthetic drugs. This precarious development scenario significantly motivated the conception of a South-North collaborative project between the University of Yaoundé 1 (Cameroon) and Bielefeld University (Germany), known as Yaoundé-Bielefeld Bilateral Graduate School of Natural Products with Antiparasite and Antibacterial Activity (YaBiNaPA), funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). This chapter assesses this research hub in terms of the way its scientific activities on traditional medicine address the development challenges of Cameroon and those of other developing African nations, promote sustainability, foster inter-university collaboration, and trigger the effective transfer of knowledge. Specifically, the chapter focuses on the goals of YaBiNaPA, its scientific achievements and knowledge transfer, its efforts to promote the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and internationalisation in higher education, its networking with health stakeholders, its outreach actions, its efforts to implement the Nagoya Protocol in Cameroon, the challenges encountered, the lessons learned, and the way forward.
