N2  - ABSTRACT
Crisis management is one important aspect of management that has been attracting 
attention in recent times. Since the beginning of the 21st century, there has been the 
frequent occurrences of both man-made (provoke) crisis such as the Cameroon 
Anglophone crisis or the global financial crisis of 2008 caused by the economic 
down turn, and natural disasters such as the recent earthquake in Turkey or the 
COVID 19 epidemic. The Cameroon Anglophone crisis that began in September of 
2016 has destroy institutions and the social life of the two Anglophone regions of 
Cameroon and has indirectly influence the affairs of the entire nation of Cameroon. 
One of such institution that has badly been affected is the Cameroon development 
cooperation (CDC). The present situation of the CDC is that most of its plantations 
are either non-operational or partially operational because most of its laborers were 
force to flee as a result of the insecurity characterizing the region as a result of the 
frequent confrontation between the state army and the separatist movement. The 
purpose of this work is to investigate how to motivate the laborers of the CDC
especially those of the Ekona plantations to return back to work through a careful 
examination of the measures or action already adopted by the management to keep 
the plantation operational even during the Anglophone crisis. To this effect, the 
paper presents a detail review of some prominent motivational theories, to the end 
that motivation be seen or regarded as a managerial (leadership) tool at the disposal 
of managers. We adopt a qualitative research design that allows us to perform a semi 
structured interview on a convenient sample in other to generate primary data. Our 
findings reveal that the cooperation is not at zero production. In areas where there is 
calm (security) the plantations are operational and in those areas of insecurity the 
plantations are not operational. This paper therefore recommends that, the 
management of CDC should not just take actions that state goals or outlines 
achievements while pursuing the other objectives, but it should envisage those 
actions or moves that will bring peace back in and around their plantations.
