A 12-month agreement worth nearly 850 million CFA francs is putting local governance at the center of Cameroon’s decentralization effort.
The Project for Local Governance and Resilient Communities, known as PROLOG, and the National School of Local Administration signed the cooperation agreement in Yaoundé on August 31, 2026.
In the coming days, nearly 2,000 elected officials and local administrators will receive targeted training. Participants will come from the Far North, North, Adamawa, East, Northwest and Southwest regions.
The courses will focus on financial governance, human resources management and civil registration. The initiative aims to give local actors the skills and tools needed to improve the management of decentralized local authorities.
