The SDF has created in its constitution 'Standing Committees' with well-defined areas of responsibility and these areas of responsibility cover all the competencies needed to run a country like Cameroon: Agriculture, Rural Development, Economy, Defence, National Security, Science and Technology, Health, Information and Media, etc.
Each Standing Commission is chaired by a President and a Vice-President appointed by the National Chairman of the Party. It is then the Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the Standing Committees who constitute the Party's Shadow Cabinet.
In the Anglo-Saxon political system, the Shadow Cabinet forms an alternative to the government in office in the country. The Shadow Cabinet members individually mark each member of the government and have a duty to be ready at any time to ascend to power and exercise the responsibilities of government. In the case of the SDF, in addition to this screening and control of the government in power, the Shadow Cabinet members, through the Standing Committees they head, support the work of the NEC and the elected members of the party at all levels with their advice and reflections, thus providing additional expertise that enables the SDF to better fulfil its constitutional role.
