Abstract

This article is aimed at discussing the relevance of African culture and its values to the contemporary society. The qualitative approach was used in this work. The results arrived at shows that African traditional practices in the Western Highlands of Cameroon has over time developed cultural values which are concomitant to the objectives of MDGs and SDGs. But, in most cases, these values have been neglected by national and international development agencies leading to continuous clashes between traditional African values and what the people consider as foreign to them. However, some aspects of the culture have remained inimical to human rights and local development. Therefore, for African culture to entirely play its role in achieving sustainable development, the paper holds that a cultural hybridisation is an ultimate solution to the problems faced by indigenous practices and external policies of development.
