A training session was held for the technical secretariat of the Cameroon Country Team. This training is part of the project “Leaving No Place behind: Strengthening Urban-Rural Linkages in Africa” in Cameroon. This project is the result of the cooperation agreement signed between Cameroon, represented by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (MINHDU) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) on September 20, 2019. UN-Habitat provides technical support (monitoring, advice, capacity building) to the Country Team that implements the activities planned under the project.

The objective of this training session was to strengthen the capacities of the members of the Technical Secretariat of the Country Team on the method of reviewing policies and strategies in order to take into account urban-rural linkages. It was also a question of presenting the results already obtained at mid-term in the execution of the project, examining the analysis report of the collected data and considering the perspectives in order to finalize the project in December 2021.

Chaired by Mrs. KAMGAING Josiane, Head of the Urban Data and Housing Unit at MINHDU, this training session was attended by several other ministerial institutions, namely the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Land Management (MINEPAT) the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER), the Ministry of Decentralization and Local Development (MINDDEVEL), the National Institute of Statistics (INS) and representatives of UN-Habitat.
