Municipales et Legislatives 2020 : Elecam intensifie ses stratégies pour une plus grande participation des femmes

A quelques semaines de la fin des inscriptions sur les listes électorales pour le compte de l’année 2019, Elections Cameroun poursuit sa stratégie visant à améliorer la participation des femmes au processus électoral et met les bouchées doubles pour plus de femmes inscrites sur les listes électorale et plus de femmes candidates lors des prochaines consultations électorales. 

Au regard des statistiques, les femmes constituent 52% de la population totale du Cameroun mais pourtant dans les instances politiques, elles sont peu représentées. C’est le cas à l’Assemblée nationale avec moins de 31,11% de femmes, au Senat 26% et dans les exécutifs communaux moins de 8%.
C’est dans l’optique de changer cette donne qu’ELECAM a apporté son appui à certaines actions.
D’abord du 16 au 20 juillet 2019 ELECAM a apporté son expertise à la formation des femmes leaders à la faveur d’un séminaire atelier organisé par « More Women in Politics » avec l’appui de l’Union Européenne dans le cadre du projet Démocratie au feminin :« femme elis et fais toi élire ». Durant ce séminaire 109 femmes venues de toutes les régions du Cameroun ont pu être édifiées sur l’aspect juridique qui encadre les élections législatives et municipales au Cameroun et les rouages à maitriser pour effectuer les dépôts de candidature correctes.
Ensuite, les 23 et 24 juillet, Elections Cameroon était une fois de plus présente lors du séminaire de deux jours organisé par le MINPROFF en partenariat avec l’Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie et ONU-FEMMES qui regroupait certains élus locaux en poste, les représentants de la société civile et de certains partis politiques et bien sûr une vingtaine de femmes aspirantes à la candidature aux mandats électifs. Cette fois encore, Patience Elango, Point focal genre à Elections Cameroon a outillé les participantes sur la loi électorale, la déclaration de candidatures entre autres.

NORTH WEST PUBLIC INDEPENDENT CONCILIATOR

The PIC while addressing local masses in Wum Council area, Mr. Tamfu Fai, appealed to the government to create divisional representations.   In the Anglo-Saxon tradition, it is customary to set up independent authorities responsible for settling disputes between users and regional and council administration. In line with this logic, Law No.2019/24 of 24 December 2019 to institute the General Code of Regional and Local Authorities provides for an independent authority called the Public Independent Conciliator (PIC) in the North-West and South-West Regions. The office holder is by no means a legal authority or a judge, as the competences and powers entrusted to him are not of a legal nature. The PIC is responsible, inter alia, for amicably settling disputes between users and the regional and council administration, defending and protecting rights and freedoms with regard to the relationship between citizens and the region or the councils thereof, conducting any investigation on the funct

FRENCH PRESIDENT, EMMANUEL MACRON, DISAVOWS DECENTRALIZATION AS SOLUTION TO ANGLOPHONE CONFLICT; OPTS FOR REGIONALISM.

  Image an elephant walked into the room. It's definitely something you would notice. It's also something people would describe in many different ways. Some might see it as a monster or a threat, while others (like The Colbert Factor) might think it's the greatest thing ever. It would ultimately mean something different to everyone, and that would influence the way each person understood it. The visit of the French President was the elephant walking into the Cameroon room.   Emmanuel Macron and Paul Biya in Yaoundé. July 25-27 2022 Last week's visit by recently re-elected French President, Emmanuel Macron, was too substantial to ignore. To most ordinary Cameroonians, his remarks after the close to two hours high-level talks with long-serving President Paul Biya, were great. To others, (especially those in government), they were a threat to what government had given a pat on its back for a fast-track of the decentralization process with a Special Status for the North Wes
