CameroonTraditional Pharmacopeia: MINESUP paves the way for scientific and industrial valorisation
© MINESUP The Minister of State, Minister of Higher Education, and Chancellor of Academic Orders, Prof. Jacques Fame Ndongo, presided over on September 17, 2026, at the University of Yaounde I, the official opening ceremony of the National Symposium on the Valorization of Cameroonian Traditional Pharmacopoeia. Held under the theme "Valorization of traditional pharmacopoeia: A strategic lever for promoting Made in Cameroon," the event brought together university researchers, traditional healers, healthcare professionals, and government representatives at the Amphitheater 700 of the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences to explore ways to transform ancestral knowledge into a modern economic force. Speaking on behalf of the Minister of Scientific Research and Innovation, the Secretary-General of MINRESI highlighted the vast potential of local traditional remedies to bolster national health self-reliance and preserve cultural heritage. She urged stakeholders to step up scientific research, secure legal protection for indigenous knowledge, and establish strong synergies between traditional practices and modern medicine. In his keynote address, the Minister of State situated the conference within the policy directions set by the President of the Republic, His Excellency Paul Biya, regarding healthcare development and the optimal use of national resources. Prof. Jacques Fame Ndongo emphasized that traditional pharmacopoeia spans multiple sectors including public health, academic research, innovation, industry, and commerce. He also insisted on applying rigorous scientific standards to traditional medicine. He specifically stressed the imperative of characterizing active ingredients, establishing standardized dosages, identifying side effects, and upholding strict ethical guidelines. This initiative comes at a pivotal moment, following the landmark legislation passed on December 23, 2024 (Law No. 2024/018), which regulates the practice and organization of traditional medicine in Cameroon. The keynote lecture, delivered by Emmanuel Albert Mpondo Mpondo, Emeritus Professor of Pharmacognosy, addressed the development of the national pharmaceutical industry through university training, targeted research, and entrepreneurship focused on local medicinal plants. The symposium concluded with the adoption of 55 action-oriented resolutions structured around four primary thematic axes. These measures aim to strengthen the legal framework, accelerate research and development, and integrate traditional pharmacopoeia into mainstream national healthcare and industrial strategies, helping propel Cameroon toward its 2035 Emerging Nation vision.

CameroonCulture: The Mvog Manga Cultural festival to attain official recognition
© Minac The Mvog Manga Festival of the people of the Center region had been officially presented to the Cameroonian population. This was done during a high-level audience granted His Majesty AMOUGOU Serge, 3rd-Degree Traditional Chief and National President of the Anyang Mvog Manga Cultural Association by the Minister of Arts and Culture Pierre Ismael Bidoung Nkpwat on September 16, 2026. Held in the reception hall of the National Museum, the meeting focused on the official presentation of the Mvog Manga Cultural Festival, a formal request for its inclusion in Cameroon's National Directory of Cultural Festivals, and a plea for technical support from the ministry. Determined to safeguard their rich heritage, the Mvog Manga community aims to preserve, promote, and transmit their ancestral customs to future generations. His Majesty AMOUGOU Serge was accompanied by a large delegation of traditional custodians who highlighted the vital importance of registering their identity-defining cultural practices. Beyond seeking official recognition, the delegation presented the active preparations for the inaugural edition of the Mvog Manga Festival while soliciting institutional and technical backing from the Ministry of Arts and Culture. In response, the Department of Cultural Heritage outlined the strict administrative requirements necessary for inclusion in the National Directory. To qualify, the festival must demonstrate deep historical and cultural roots tied to a founding myth or sacred rite rather than commercial motives. Furthermore, it requires a fixed periodicity, a legitimate traditional organizing committee endorsed by the chieftaincy, and broad community participation. The event's content must also showcase living heritage, including original rites, dances, oral arts, traditional medicine, native wrestling, and storytelling in the mother tongue, supported by a comprehensive technical file. To guarantee effective support for this initiative, the Minister issued firm instructions to the ministry's technical units. The resulting recommendations mandate immediate structuring to finalize the registration file within the coming week. Additionally, technical teams were directed to conduct an official inventory of all intangible cultural heritage elements associated with the festival. This documentation will facilitate the signing of the official decree and ensure the festival’s inclusion on the ministry’s digital promotion platforms. The audience ended on a symbolic note with the presentation of traditional gifts to the Minister by the Mvog Manga chiefs. The Minister received a fly-whisk, representing authority, alongside a Mvet, the iconic musical instrument of the Beti culture. This exchange marked a powerful alliance between state institutions and traditional leadership, paving the way for the enduring celebration of Mvog Manga heritage on the national stage.

During their discussion, the two leaders reviewed existing parliamentary cooperation, acknowledged Switzerland's participation at the 51st Session of the Parliamentary Assembly of La Francophonie recently held in Yaounde, and welcomed the ongoing construction of the new Swiss Embassy in the Cameroonian capital. A central focus of the bilateral discussions was the shared commitment to deepen bilateral relations and honor shared history. The honorable speaker commended Switzerland for honoring Tilo Frey, one of the first women of Cameroonian origin elected to the Swiss National Council, via the dedicated TILO mosaic artwork at the Federal Palace. Additionally, the Speaker expressed Cameroon’s desire to leverage Swiss technical expertise to establish the new Cameroon National Assembly Museum.

CameroonCameroon and GIZ partner with key Ministries to boost rural employment and agropastoral training
© Minefop officiel The Cameroonian government and German cooperation achieved a significant milestone in modernizing the rural sector through a high-level signing ceremony in Yaounde. Two major legal instruments were officially signed to establish a seamless alignment between vocational training programs and the evolving needs of the agropastoral market. This strategic initiative directly addresses structural employment gaps by modernizing agricultural skill sets across the country. To ensure long-term impact, a landmark tripartite agreement was established between the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development - MINADER, the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries - MINEPIA, and the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training - MINEFOP. This unprecedented inter-ministerial synergy breaks down institutional silos by combining the specialized technical expertise of sector-specific ministries with MINEFOP's pedagogical frameworks. As a result, the government guarantees qualification pathways that directly reflect real-world labor market demands. Operationalizing this vision, a Memorandum of Understanding - MoU was signed between MINEFOP and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit - GIZ, supported by the European Union. This agreement provides the necessary technical and financial resources to translate policy frameworks into concrete field applications. The partnership focuses heavily on practical execution to ensure that training initiatives deliver tangible, measurable outcomes for rural communities. Key operational objectives under the MoU include the deployment of 29 approved standards developed via the Competency-Based Approach - CBA. Furthermore, the agreement prioritizes technical and material support for the National Center for Trainer Training and Program Development - CNFFDP to cultivate top-tier instructors. The initiative also focuses on official learner certification to provide credible qualifications that significantly enhance employment and self-employment prospects. Fully aligned with Cameroon's National Development Strategy - SND30 and its import-substitution policy, this strategic alliance offers tangible economic opportunities to rural women and youth. By upgrading vocational standards and empowering local workers, the partnership aims to transform Cameroon's vast agropastoral potential into a primary engine for sustainable economic growth.

CameroonASF France trains Journalists on Prison reform
© TGP The Cameroon chapter of Avocats Sans Frontières - ASF France hosted a capacity-building workshop on September 9 at its Yaounde office to equip local journalists with the skills needed for ethical and legally accurate reporting. Organised under the Support Project for Human Rights-Based Prison Governance in Cameroon - PAGOC, the event brought together reporters, editors, and presenters ahead of a national colloquium on alternative penalties scheduled for September 23. Participants were trained on utilizing precise judicial terminology, verifying information, and respecting the privacy and human dignity of detainees to avoid exposing vulnerable sources to potential reprisals. Highlighting the vital role of the press in judicial reform, ASF France Country Representative, Barrister Dr. Dacga Djatche Sandrine Bergeline, emphasized that media professionals are central to improving prison governance. She noted that while Cameroon’s revised Penal Code introduced community service and reparation penalties in 2016 under Sections 18 and 26, their practical application remains stalled due to the absence of a specific legal instrument guiding magistrates. Barrister Dacga urged journalists to help demystify these legal options, explaining that alternative sentences offer a constructive way to rehabilitate minor offenders without alienating them from their families and professions. The push for alternative sentencing comes amid severe structural challenges, particularly severe overcrowding and high rates of pre-trial detention across Cameroonian prisons. According to Barrister Dacga, many individuals wait in custody for minor offenses longer than the actual length of the sentences they would face if convicted. She specified that alternative penalties are designed for offenses carrying maximum prison terms of under two years, explicitly excluding severe crimes such as murder, sexual violence, weapons offenses, or physical assaults. Journalist and veteran trainer Guy Zogo reinforced these principles, stressing that responsible reporting requires strict impartiality, careful risk assessment, and a commitment to minimizing harm. He reminded media practitioners to remain vigilant against manipulation during tense, accusation-heavy judicial proceedings. Zogo also echoed the legal framework's stagnation, pointing out that even though alternative penalties have officially existed in the national Penal Code for nearly a decade, they are almost never applied in courtrooms because the necessary implementation guidelines remain absent. Participants welcomed the initiative, with journalist Faith Ngwang observing that the training significantly broadened her legal vocabulary and enhanced her ability to report objectively without spreading inadvertent misinformation. Implemented by ASF France alongside the Cameroon Human Rights Organisations Network - RECODH and the Central African Human Rights Defenders Network - REDHAC, the PAGOC initiative continues to pair advocacy with hands-on legal training. By empowering journalists, the program aims to protect the fundamental rights of incarcerated individuals and foster smoother reintegration paths back into society.

CameroonCameroon and IMF hold High-level economic consultations in Yaounde
© MINFI The Minister of Finance, Louis Paul MOTAZE, hosted a consultation meeting on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at his office in Yaounde with a visiting delegation from the International Monetary Fund - IMF. The delegation was led by Christine DIETERICH, the IMF Mission Chief for Cameroon, alongside key senior collaborators from the ministry. The primary purpose of this visit is to conduct a periodic review of the nation’s macroeconomic and fiscal framework in accordance with standard statutory obligations applicable to all IMF member states. This high-level dialogue follows the successful completion of Cameroon's 2021–2025 Economic and Financial Programme, which formally concluded in July 2025. As a result, Cameroon is currently no longer operating under an active IMF-supported program. Consequently, the ongoing mission operates under the framework of regular economic surveillance and bilateral consultation mandated by Article IV of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement, rather than serving as a formal program review tied to financial disbursements. During the discussions, both parties focused on key aspects of the Cameroonian economy, evaluating recent macroeconomic trends, medium-term growth prospects, and the current state of public finances. Special attention was devoted to debt sustainability and the government's strategic budgetary directions moving forward. These evaluations aim to ensure that the national financial strategy remains aligned with sound macroeconomic principles. The consultation provided an essential opportunity for both sides to take stock of the milestones and lessons learned from their prior financial cooperation while addressing lingering structural challenges. Representatives from the IMF mission shared actionable observations and recommendations intended to reinforce public finances, safeguard macroeconomic stability, and foster long-term, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth. Moving forward, the collaborative assessment reinforces the ongoing strategic partnership between Cameroon and the IMF. By maintaining open lines of communication and incorporating global economic insights, the Cameroonian government aims to consolidate recent fiscal gains, tackle persistent macroeconomic hurdles, and establish a resilient foundation for future financial stability.

CameroonAFCON Volleyball 2026: Cameroon dominate DRC to open Continental Campaign
© La rédaction du Cameroun Cameroon's Men's Volleyball team made a resounding statement at the 2026 Men's African Volleyball Championship in Tunis, sweeping the Democratic Republic of Congo 3-0 (25-12, 25-21, 25-16) in their Group D opener at the El Menzah Sports Palace. Under the guidance of head coach Jean Patrick Ndaki Mboulet, the Indomitable Lions asserted control early with an emphatic 22-minute opening set win. Despite a tougher fight from the Congolese side in the second set, Cameroon regrouped following a key timeout at 18-17 to close out the remaining sets comfortably and secure a flawless start to their tournament run. The victory showcased remarkable tactical discipline and powerful offensive execution, particularly at the net and service line. Cameroon generated 75 total points against the DRC's 49, fueled by 12 aces and eight winning blocks while committing a mere five attacking errors throughout the entire match. The team's aggressive serving proved to be their primary weapon, regularly destabilizing the Congolese defense and giving the Lions complete control over the tempo of the game. Individual performances further highlighted the team's balance, with Mbaihilamen Stéphane leading all scorers with 12 points, including nine attacks and three aces. Badawe Djakode Elie provided a dominant presence at the net with 11 points and three winning blocks, while Cédric Bitouna added eight points, distinguishing himself with a match-high five aces. Tegra Tshibasu Ngwey led the struggling DRC squad with 11 points, but his effort was insufficient to turn the momentum against Cameroon's formidable frontline. This dominant opening performance delivers a firm message to Group D rivals Rwanda and the Central African Republic as Cameroon sets its sights on high continental honors. Beyond African Championship glory, the decisive win serves as a crucial first step in securing qualification pathways for the 2027 World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Though 18 service errors leave clear areas for refinement, the Lions have established themselves as serious contenders early in the competition.
