our RR, Mathieu @Ciowela and team, met with Dr. #NkoagneJosue, Regional Delegate of #CCIMA West Region, and some members representing diverse sectors of the economy to discuss the vital role of the private sector in driving economic growth, innovation and job creation. Exchanges reaffirmed the private sector’s central role in advancing inclusive and sustainable development in Cameroon. It highlighted challenges affecting business growth and explored opportunities to foster public private partnerships, and better support entrepreneurs and local enterprises. To see the impact of UNDP-supported entrepreneurship initiatives firsthand, the team visited local businesses. A key stop was #SIPO Fruits & Légumes, founded by #NouanegueLouise. Having received training via #YWEEP & material support via #OSSP, SIPO now employs 20 people, processes 5 tons of local cocoa monthly, and supplies 50 supermarkets across Cameroon. The team also visited the feed processing unit & poultry farm of Ets Wouembe. Backed by financial support from #OSSP, this enterprise is a vital player in the local poultry value chain.

Lorsque le 1er #ActeDeNaissance #Numérique a été imprimé à la Communauté Urbaine de #Bertoua🇨🇲, il s’est agi de bien plus que de la délivrance d’un document ; cela a marqué une nouvelle étape vers un accès universel à l’#IdentitéLégale. Pour les parents de Hakim, l’impact a été immédiat : alors qu’il leur a fallu plusieurs mois pour obtenir les actes de naissance de ses aînés, celui de Hakim a été délivré presque instantanément. Présidée par S.E. le #Gouverneur Grégoire Mvongo, la cérémonie de lancement marque une avancée majeure dans la modernisation des services d’état civil de la #RégionDeLEst🇨🇲. Le RR du @PNUD, Mathieu Ciowela, et le DG du #BUNEC, Alexandre Marie Yomo, ont rejoint le #Maire de la Ville, Jean Marie Dimbélé Sodea, pour la remise des premiers actes de naissance numériques. Cette avancée a été rendue possible grâce à l'appui technique du PNUD et du BUNEC, et le généreux apport financier du #Danemark🇩🇰 et de la République de #Corée🇰🇷à travers le Funding Window du PNUD #FundingWindow #Cameroun #IdentitéNumérique #ÉtatCivil #NeLaisserPersonneDeC

When the 1st #Digital #BirthCertificate was printed at the #Bertoua🇨🇲 City Council, it was much more than the production of a document; it marked a new step toward making #LegalIdentity accessible to all. For Hakim’s parents, the impact was immediate: while obtaining birth certificates for his older siblings took months, Hakim received his almost instantly. Officiated by H.E. #Governor Grégoire Mvongo, the launch marks a major step in modernizing civil registration services in the #EastRegion🇨🇲. @UNDP RR Mathieu @Ciowela and #BUNEC DG Alexandre Marie YOMO joined the #CityMayor, Jean Marie Dimbélé Sodea, in handing over the first digital birth certificates.
