“Change is Taking Place Across Municipalities in Cameroon”
Philippe Camille Akoa, General Manager, Special Council Support Fund for Mutual Assistance, FEICOM.
(Cameroon Tribune) You have just ended the Third Forum on China-Africa Local Government Cooperation, what were the tenets?
We received the invitation from the Chinese Embassy in Yaounde to
participate in this important forum by the Chinese-African People’s
Friendship Association within the framework of China-Africa Local
Governments Cooperation. Two officials
and seven mayors represented
FEICOM. We have listened with keen interest exposes that have been
presented, especially concerning the Chinese conception of the local
government cooperation and what its intends to do with Africa. We were
very edified with what has been done already in China. We have proposed
the setting up of a working session with the Chinese counterpart, which
will allow us to elaborate an action plan on which to operate.
What lessons are you taking back to Cameroon for an additional positive change?
Talking about change is important. I will rather say change is
already taking place across municipalities in Cameroon. Mayors are
becoming more and more interested in local government cooperation. That
is important because it is an avenue through which mayors get firsthand
experience of what is going on elsewhere. Considering that the nature of
this cooperation is win-win, mayors from councils with great
potentialities will present the wealth of our country and our know-how.
Furthermore, through this forum we have the opportunity to learn the
Chinese know-how so that all of what is being done here help in the
development of our country.
