The flag uses the traditional Pan-African colors, and the tricolor design is adapted from the flag of France. The center stripe is thought to stand for unity as red is the color of unity and the star is referred to as "the star of unity." The yellow stands for the sun and the savannas in the northern part of the country, while the green is for the forests in the southern part of Cameroon.

GMC Flag of the Nations: Cameroon
Tuesday, July 31, 2012
Global Ministry Center
Since September 1, 2009, the Church of the Nazarene's Global Ministry Center (GMC) proudly flies a flag each week of one of the many nations in which the denomination is present in ministry. Leaders were invited to send a national flag to be flown at the GMC alongside the flag of the United States*. The national flags rotate weekly, and photos of them raised are sent to the church leaders of that country.
This week: Cameroon
The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Cameroon in 1999.
Cameroon had a population of 19,711,291 in 2011. Cameroon has not yet reported any Churches of the Nazarene. Cameroon is on the Africa Region. For more information, visit www.africanazarene.org.
Previous flags featured:
NOTE: Some countries cannot be represented in this project in order to maintain security of those working there.
* = The weekly highlighted flag is raised on the middle of three poles in compliance with U.S. government protocols. It flies to the left of the GMC host-nation United States flag, which flies above the host-state flag of Kansas. The Christian flag flies on the third pole.
The Global Ministry Center is the mission and service hub of the Church of the Nazarene.
