Hi Rupert, actually I would recommend to get in touch with H. E. Mr Lejeune Mbella Mbella Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Cameroon to France, Permanent Delegate (26/11/2007) http://www.unesco.org/eri/cp/cp-nav.asp?country=cm&language=E listed on the page you named and ask him for advice.
If there is no official monument list at all it will be hard to fullfill the rules of the contest. Concerning the possibility that a Wikipedia ID number is created in lack of an official ID please check FAQ http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/FAQ#What.... I read it as if Your community could create their own system as long as there is no official system. Make sure that there is only one system applied.
I am happy to here that You plan to participate. I thought that it would only happen next year.
Please feel welcome!

hi,
what would be the best authority for a monuments list in cameroon? the only thing i could find was: http://whc.unesco.org/en/statesparties/cm/
a second related question: in case there is no reliable "id", is it allowed to create one for wikipedia?
