AIGLES Tool Performance:

Minister Says Automatic Career Advancement Of Public Agents Is Irreversible

By Nformi Sonde Kinsai

The Minister of Public Service and Administrative Reform, MINFOPRA, Joseph LE, has stated that the automatic career advancement of public agents that took off on January 1, 2025 is Irreversible.

The automatic career advancement of public agents saw the light of day last January 1 when the Personnel and Payroll Management Application Software, known by its French acronym as AIGLES, went operational.

The Minister made the declaration to the press in Kribi on February 20 shortly after opening the 106th and the 8th sessions of the Task-Force; and the Joint Inter-Ministerial Committee in charge of Assisting the Service Provider, Monitoring and Supervising the Implementation of the AIGLES.

Joseph LE said it is exactly 51 days since AIGLES took off. "We can confidently say that so far, things are moving on well. The feedback is positive. During the payout of January, public agents received messages from AIGLES on their salaries showing the amounts each is entitled to.

"So, AIGLES is producing positive results. We discovered, for example, that amongst the public agents, there were some with 11 advancements pending which is equivalent to 22 years of service. That situation was regularised since January with immediate accompanying financial effects. These are public agents who did not submit applications or travelled to Yaounde to follow their files. So, with AIGLES, things will never be same again," the Minister added.

Talking about many other advantages of the software, he said AIGLES is able to manage, in a combined manner, the payroll and career of public agents in a way that there is no disfunctioning as was the case with SIGIPES and ANTIPOPE now replaced by AIGLES.

"That is not all. AIGLES has 14 modules that will revolutionise the management of human resources of the state and the payroll. We are working hard to ensure that by the end of this year, AIGLES would be fully operational," the Minister stated.

Journalists Trained On Role Of Media In Research, Dev’t, Health Innovation

By Nformi Sonde Kinsai

Some 30 journalists who are members of the African Media Network for the Promotion of Health and the Environment, REMAPSEN have been drilled on the role of the media in research, development and innovation in health.

The training which took place in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire from January 30 to February 1, 2025 was organised by Speak Up Africa in partnership with REMAPSEN. Information on the training was provided to The Post by the National Coordinator of REMAPSEN Cameroon, Prince Mpondo.

The training was geared at furnishing journalists with the needed tools to enhance their understanding of the importance of research, development and innovation in the improvement of the health system in Africa.

Moderated by the Director of Partnership and Development at Speak Up Africa, Yaye Sophiétou Diop; as well as the Officer in Charge of Programmes, Roxane Fian, the media practitioners deepened their knowledge on neglected tropical diseases – pathologies still under-estimated despite their devastating impact on the vulnerable populations.

Speaking on the occasion, Yaye Diop brought to the fore the importance of funding adapted to medical research in Africa. “It is crucial that African countries should have incentive adapted financial solutions in order to keep their experts in place and guarantee an appropriate technical platform for the health of their population,” she declared.

She equally stated that funding of research in health in Africa is insufficient and picked up the example of Côte d’Ivoire where only a meagre 0.07% of the GDP since 2016 is allocated to research, development and innovation. She disclosed that in 2020, public spending on health represented 5.7% of the national budget, a figure far below the 15% recommended by WHO in the Abuja Declaration.

“Despite this situation, Côte d’Ivoire has major advantages, notably the Pasteur Institute of Côte d’Ivoire, the National Institute of Public Health and its involvement in regional and international programmes devoted to research and development in health,” Yaye Diop maintained.

On the role of the media in sensitisation, the journalists took concrete commitments to produce media content geared at supporting the advocacy efforts for increased financing of research and development.

The President of REMAPSEN, Bamba Youssouf; insisted on the need for the media to fully play their role of sensitisation. “Through your productions and articles, you are supposed to raise an alarm in a collective manner to draw the attention of the government, the private sector and the community as a whole,” he stated.

In regards to sustainable commitment for health in Africa, the participants received certificates as a demonstration of their desire to promote a more engaged and responsible media coverage on issues of health in Africa.

According to Coulibaly Zié Oumar, the initiative marks a key step in the mobilisation of the media for better funding of research and development in health, thereby contributing to a more efficacious and adapted public policies in line with the realities of the continent.

About 50 African journalists equally participated in the training through zoom. The event was also an occasion for Speak Up Africa to present their priority areas.

Facing Effects Of Climate Change: UNICEF, ONACC Sign MoU To Support Children, Youths

By Nformi Sonde Kinsai

UNICEF Cameroon and the National Observatory on Climate Change, known by its French acronym as ONACC, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU aimed at supporting children and youths in the face of negative effects of climate change.

The MoU signed in Yaounde on February 7, 2025 under the supervision of a representative of the Ministry of Environment, defines a general framework for collaboration to support children and young people through various joint projects relating to the impact of climate change in Cameroon.

The MoU was signed for UNICEF Cameroon by its Representative, Nadine Perrault and endorsed for ONACC by its Director General, Prof. Joseph Armathé Amougou.

It should be noted that according to UNICEF’s Climate Risk Index for Children, Cameroon ranks among the 10 countries in the world where children are most exposed to risks, shocks, climate and environmental stress. It holds that droughts, floods and forced displacement in affected regions increase the risks of malnutrition, water-borne diseases, violence and abuse among women and children.

According to Nadine Perrault, “UNICEF considers the climate crisis as a major threat to children’s rights. Children are particularly affected by the impacts of climate change, which aggravate existing vulnerabilities and compromise their future,” she stressed.

She said with the MoU with ONACC and information the institution shall be providing, UNICEF shall be able to strengthen the programming of their projects as well as the response to be given including the sensitisation of children and young people on issues of climate change, reason why a mascot loved by kids was present at the event.

“With reliable data from ONACC, we can make proper analysis on the impact of climate change on children and which adaptation measures should be included in our programmes in the domains of health, nutrition, education, and so on,” she stated.

She encouraged young people to join the U-reporters platform – group of volunteers supporting UNICEF actions on themes affecting children. Their actions are focused on climate change, emergency preparedness, early warning systems, and so on. And in a message to the young people on the occasion of the youth day, Perrault urged them to be interested in what is happening in regards to climate change, positively change their behaviours and that of the community as well as be ready to support in situations of crises.

Commitment Of Parties:

In regards to the MoU, ONACC is committed to analysing children’s vulnerability to climate shocks, producing specific climate services to strengthen the resilience of children and youth, and establishing a child-sensitive early warning system. ONACC will also provide data and advice to develop a practical adaptation guide for youth and vulnerable people, and build the capacity of local communities on the use of climate services.

UNICEF, for its part, is committed to providing human, material, technical and financial support to the field studies identified under the agreement. UNICEF will strengthen ONACC’s capacity in research sensitive to the needs of children and young people, support ONACC in climate adaptation plans, and collaborate with ONACC to design projects related to early warning systems involving young people as key actors in their communities in the face of climate change.

According to Prof. Amougou, the commitment of young people is crucial to building a resilient and sustainable future. To the UNICEF Representative, “this convention marks a crucial step in our commitment to protect children and youth in Cameroon from the devastating impacts of climate change. By working together, we can strengthen community resilience and empower young people to become agents of change in their own environment,” Perrault stated.

The event was also an occasion for one Alexis Nguepdjom Tchagom, a young climate activist from Maroua who attended the UN Conference on Climate Change, COP29 in Azerbaijan to share his experience.

Child’s Rights Training Takes Varsity Lecturers, Researchers Back To Class

By Nformi Sonde Kinsai

University lecturers and researchers of the Department of Science of Education of the University of Yaounde I were back to class to receive training on Child’s Rights.

The event that took place in Yaounde on February 10 and 11, 2025 was a follow-up to the recent official opening of the Child’s Rights Centre in that University.

Similar trainings are billed for the University of Dschang on February 13 and 14 and in the University of Yaounde II on February 17 and 18, 2025.

Addressing participants through zoom while on mission in Douala, the Representative of UNICEF Cameroon, Nadine Perrault said Child’s Rights education is a fundamental leverage for strengthening education systems and promoting the culture of justice, equality and protection of the child.

She talked of strategic partnerships signed by UNICEF with several Cameroonian universities with the goal of institutionalising training on Child’s Rights in higher education teachings. “This initiative gears at training professional and decision makers capable of integrating the principle of Child’s Rights in their academic and administrative practices.”

The UNICEF Representative noted that the trainings constitute a significant step in the putting in place of specific agreements signed with the institutions. She said teachers and administrative staff will be provided the needed competences for integrating Child’s Rights in their teaching and university management.

The initiative falls within the framework of national and international commitments for the education and protection of the child, thereby guaranteeing a coherent and sustainable approach in the promotion of Child’s Rights in partner universities.

International experts at the training sessions came from UNICEF Greece and Georgia notably Drs. Eteri Kirtskhalia and Vasileios Fasoulis as well as Prof. Ghassan Khalil who delivered his lessons through zoom. Their expertise in university training on the Children’s Rights is expected to strengthen the capacities of Cameroonian lecturers and accompany them in the operationalisation of Child’s Rights centres as pools of excellence.

Speaking for the University of Yaounde I, the Vice Dean in charge of Schooling and follow-up of Students, Prof. Etienne Ndongo, said the training is part of the initiative that saw the recent opening of the Child’s Rights Centre in that institution.

Justifying the training, he said “when such a centre is created, it is good that all the teachers understand and clearly too, what is expected of them. The training will strengthen them to take into account the first pillars of Children’s Rights for it to become a reality in the University of Yaounde I.”

He said the selection of trainees was determined first and foremost by the interest demonstrated during the opening of the Child’s Rights Centre. He said the desire by others to be stakeholders of the initiative is gaining steam. He said the first pillar of the training is bordering on discrimination suffered by children.

Talking to reporters, Eteri Kirtskhalia said the trainees would be drilled on the establishment and running of the Child’s Rights Centres highlighting their role and function based on the experience of Greece and Georgia. She said the content of the training will border on the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

She talked of the role of the centres in Greece and Georgia in the promotion of Children’s Rights and expressed the desire to see Cameroonians committed and passionate about the initiative in order to inculcate the culture of Child’s Rights promotion in the country.

It should be recalled that the Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted by the UN General Assembly on November 20, 1989, and ratified by Cameroon on September 30, 1990. The country therefore has the obligation of seeing that convention implemented.

Child Rights Advocacy Centre opened In Yaounde I University

By Nformi Sonde Kinsai

The University of Yaounde I, in the Centre Region of Cameroon, now has its Child Rights Centre. The centre for the defence and promotion of children’s rights was opened during an official ceremony on February 4, 2025.

The event that was marked by the signing of an accord on the creation of the centre by the UNICEF Representative in Cameroon, Nadine Perrault and the Rector of the University of Yaounde I, Prof. Rémy Magloire Dieudonné Etoua was also attended by top officials of both institutions.

The Child Rights Centre of the University of Yaounde I lodged in the Science of Education Department is the third after that of Yaounde II University opened on December 11, 2024 and the one of the University of Dschang that went operation on January 21, 2025. Two other centres are expected to be established in Cameroon by the end of this 2025 notably in the University of Maroua and the Catholic University of Central Africa.

Speaking on the occasion, Nadine Perrault stated: “it marks a significant milestone in our collaboration with the academia to advance child rights in Cameroon. It is the result of our strategic partnership with these institutions. It reflects our shared ambition to create an ecosystem where child rights become a lasting priority through research, teaching and advocacy,” she stated.

The UNICEF Representative disclosed that the initiative builds on the successful models from Greece and Georgia, and is rooted in an ambitious vision to integrate child rights into university curricula while raising awareness and mobilising future generations of professionals and leaders.

The Child Rights Centre is expected to strengthen the university’s roles in driving societal change while equipping students and researchers to become active advocates for children’s rights in their respective disciplines. According to UNICEF, the Centre is a win-win project as the university will benefit from a focal point for research, policy influence and training in children’s rights, while the wider children’s rights programme will benefit from academic resources and expertise.

Nadine Perrault stated that the opening of the Yaounde I University Child Rights Centre was taking place at the beginning of a special year for UNICEF in the West and Central Africa regions dedicated to girl’s rights. “UNICEF in Cameroon takes the opportunity to reiterate its commitment to child rights and calls on a collective commitment to sustainable, profound and positive change for the realisation of children’s rights in Cameroon,” she maintained.

She told reporters that the basic document at the Child Rights Centres is the Convention on the Rights of the Child ratified by Cameroon. The Centres are geared at strengthening the University’s capacity to produce policy-oriented research and train professionals involved in the protection and promotion of children’s rights. Other purposes include institutionalising children’s rights in university curricula in collaboration with UNICEF; and promoting children’s rights through training programmes, campaigns and community activities.

On his part, Prof. Etoua talked of the University of Yaounde being a basin of knowledge acquisition with a huge pool of adolescents that need to be accompanied in professional and technical training. Remarking that children are deprived of their rights in situations of armed conflicts and negative effects of climate change such as floods and drought that trigger massive movements, he pledged the university’s availability and commitment as well as that of other professional institutions under its supervision to work hand-in-hand with UNICEF.

The Rector said Child Rights protection and promotion, social and behavioural change, education, health and social inclusion would be done through training modules, research, workshops, conferences, and refresher courses.

Joshua Osih Declares Intention to Run for Presidency

The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Front party, Hon. Chief Joshua Osih, has declared his intention to compete at the forthcoming presidential election billed for October.

Hon. Osih made his intention known on February 1 at the end of the National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting of the SDF that held at the Centre Regional headquarters of the party in Yaounde.

Osih said, in the days or weeks ahead, the party will be organising an extra-ordinary convention to officially choose the flag bearer of the party.

He reiterated the importance of having polling agents in all the polling stations across the country.

He said the party envisages training at least three polling agents per polling station.

He disclosed that the party has already achieved about 70 percent of that objective and said they intend to tidy it up and have a complete list by May this year.

He urged all the NEC members and other leaders of the party to intensify work.

Cameroon is about to enter an electoral cycle of four successive elections. While the presidential and regional elections are billed for this year, the parliamentary and municipal elections are slated for 2026.

Hon. Joshua Osih stated that, if the presidential election is convened between June 5 and July 15, 2025, the electoral registers will be closed and only reopened after the declaration of municipal election results in 2026.

Calling on Cameroonians to take advantage of the period before June 5 and massively register for the elections, he told the leaders of the SDF party that holiday is over and no absences at meetings will be welcomed.

Joshua Osih Says Mayors Should Issue ID Cards, Not Police

The SDF's National Chairman and Member of Parliament, Hon. Joshua Osih, has proposed what he thinks will fix the ID Card conundrum in Cameroon.

The opposition leader opts for an effective decentralisation of the process, such that Mayors, who are civil status registrars, should issue national identification cards, not the police as it currently obtains.

His proposal comes in the wake of numerous challenges plaguing the ID card system in Cameroon, where corruption and bureaucracy have hindered thousands of adults from obtaining the compulsory document.

Hear him:

“In every normal country the guy who decides on your civil status issues your ID card. So you just simply go to your Mayor and get your ID card and go home. Why do they complexify the whole process? Because the policeman cannot do anything outside of what the Mayor has decided. And the judge cannot do anything outside of what the Mayor has decided. So the Mayor is the king. The Mayor is the guy deciding. Why do you remove him that competence to give it to civil servants? Bring it back to him.”

West Region: Warring Bamoun, Tikar Kingdoms Make Peace

The Bamoun and Tikar Kingdoms in the West Region of Cameroon have mended their differences after years of periodic tensions and clashes.

This was during a meeting mediated by the Minister of Territorial Administration, Paul Atanga Nji, in Yaounde on January 28.

The Sultan of Bamoun, HRH Mouhammad-Nabil Mforifoum Mbombo Njoya, and the Sultan of Bankim, HRH Gah II Ibrahim, representing the Tikars, ended the conclave with a historic handshake to signify their reconciliation.

Occasional clashes have erupted between both kingdoms over the past years, significantly disrupting public peace.

In February 2023, tensions escalated when the King of the Tikars, HRH Soule Ngamon III, was publicly undressed and molested by guards of Sultan Nabil Njoya.

The incident occurred after the Tikar King referred to the Sultan as “my son.”

This event sparked a wave of violence and unrest, causing considerable damage to both communities.

The recent reconciliation is expected to end the tensions and restore social cohesion.

I Miss the Ahidjo Era. Ahidjo didn't have Tribalism, He Built a State — Alice Nkom

Human rights advocate, Barrister Alice Nkom, has drawn a sharp contrast between the regime of President Paul Biya and that of Cameroon's first President, Ahmadou Ahidjo, likening the Biya era to a dictatorship.

She said President Biya's regime, which has been in power for 42 years, is built on dictatorship, tribalism, regionalism and corruption—vices which she said were absent during the Ahidjo presidency (1960—1982).

In an interview on Voxafrica, Barrister Nkom said the Biya regime has thrived on dividing Cameroonians into anti and pro-Biya. Those deemed to be anti-Biya are persecuted and deprived of their basic rights as citizens.

Alice Nkom, who is facing accusations of sponsoring terrorism after the government banned her NGO, RHEDAC, said she is a victim of government persecution because she doesn't support Biya's ruling CPDM party.

Biya Receives Report Detailing France's Role in Crushing Cameroonian Nationalists

President Paul Biya today received a joint delegation of French and Cameronian researchers who handed to him a report on the role former colonial master France played in crushing nationalist movements in Cameroon from 1945 to 1971.

The meeting with President Biya came after the delegation presented the report to French President Emmanuel Macron on January 21 in Paris.

The report was written by seven Cameroonian and seven French researchers. They gathered data from living witnesses of the French crackdown of Cameronian opposition leaders during the pre and post-independence eras.

Strangely, the report absolves France from the arrest, trial and ex*****on of these great Cameroonian nationalists.

Among them were former UPC leaders, Reuben UM Nyobe, Felix Roland Moumie and Ernest Ouandie, who were assassinated for their strong push for Cameronian sovereignty.

“The accurate account of events highlights the absence of French responsibility for the arrest, trial and ex*****on of the last great leaders, in contrast to the accusations of French involvement behind this affair,” an extract from the report reads.

It should be noted that, for decades now, Cameroonians, especially of the Bamilike and Bassa extraction, where fierce battles against the UPC led to the death of thousands of people and the destruction of property, have been clamouring for reparations from France for the role it played in the atrocities.

PMI Hospital at Down Beach, Limbe, was completely flooded Wednesday, July 19, 2023. Water saturated wards at the hospital; patients, nurses and care givers had to wade through the floods to find their way around the facility. This hospital, over the years, has suffered floods whenever it rains. But the Government, which owns and runs the hospital, has done nothing concrete to rescue the health facility. Aside other services it renders, PMI Limbe offers more of maternity services to the population. This is where thousands of children in Limbe and beyond have been born for many years. And this is where many of our mothers come to for pre and post-natal care. Yet, it appears the Ministry of Public Health has failed to hear the cries of the new borns wailing inside flood waters or that of their mothers pushing inside flood waters.

Torrential Rains Leave #Limbe Flooded Despite all the pre-emptive works done some weeks back by the Limbe City Council to keep the City free from floods, the torrential downpour of today, June 27, made nonsense of everything ever done to wade off Limbe's age-old maladie. Those who live in low-lying areas such as Down Beach, along the low lying portions of the Limbe River, Church Street and a few others had no other choice than to go swimming all day long, either in their flooded quarters, footpaths, houses, main roads and what have you.
