Training of researchers for the evaluation of renewable energy governance in Cameroon

Green Connexion participated in a workshop organised on Friday, March 17, 2023, by a consortium of several partner organisations namely CCCWG, PACJA, ACSEA, GERMANWATCH, IKI, Sida, Federal Ministry for the Environment Nature Conservation, Nixlear Safety and Consumer protection.

The workshop was on “Training of Researchers for the Assessment of Renewable Energy Governance in Cameroon” and aimed at substantiating, profiling and contextualising renewable energy in Cameroon; creating a common understanding of the concept of governance and renewable energy governance; and defining and internalising the pillars and indicators of governance.

At the end of the training, each of these objectives was sufficiently discussed, exercises were given and a platform created for further exchange.

The training was chaired by Mr. Christian Oyono at the ACSEA (Assessment Of Renewable Energy Gouvernance In Cameroon) headquarters more precisely at Rond-point Damas behind the Frazati school.

 

International Water Day

Theme “Accelerating Change

In 2019, WHO and UNICEF agreed that 2.2 billion people still lack access to safe and continuous drinking water. Cameroon is among the countries with the most critical situation with 34% of the population without access to safe drinking water.

Therefore, on this day, GREEN CONNEXION advocates for increased budgetary allocations in the water, hygiene and sanitation sector, for better access for all and to better respond to the health shocks we experience every day.

It is also an opportunity to advocate for the acceleration of projects aimed at the sustainable management of this natural resource.

 

International Forest Day 2023

“Forests and Health”.

Still called the green lung of the planet, the forest in one way or another is linked to our daily life. Among its many ecological benefits, it is important to remember on this day that forests contribute to water and air quality through their role in preserving and purifying the environment.
It is therefore mandatory to act in favour of forests because healthy forests are necessary for healthy populations.
