摘要：Empirical findings show that most countries of Sub-Saharan Africa remain incredibly vulnerable to slow economic growth and development. This study analyzed the relationship among export-income, economic growth and human development index considered as a proxy for poverty in Cameroon. Time series data on the variables in Cameroon from 1965 to 2010 were exploited using the Toda-Yamamoto Granger Causality Tests. No bi-directional causality but only a one-way causality existed from human development index to export-income. Therefore exports, economic growth and poverty/human development should be boosted with sound policies by policy -makers in order to harvest the fruits of the empirical causal relationships in this country with abundant resources. All of this will guarantee economic gro wth sustainability and sustainable development
