  ABSTRACT: The objective of this research is to highlight the effects of institutional quality on environmental protection in the countries of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) over the period from 1996 to 2017. The analysis is carried out using dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) techniques to achieve this objective. The estimates are made from data from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators database. After applying these techniques, the results show that, the quality of institutions is a factor in improving environmental protection in the CEMAC countries. These results support the need for CEMAC countries to clean up their institutional arrangements by improving anti-corruption mechanisms, regulatory compliance, and government effectiveness, and to implement legal and institutional reforms to ensure that they have strong institutions to address environmental issues in this geographic area.
