The National Assembly of Cameroon has initiated a 45-day training program for over 100 administrative staff members. The program, which started on August 18, 2020, aims to enhance the staff's proficiency in English, French, and computer skills. The training is being held at the Yaoundé campus of the African Institute of Informatics (IAI). The program was launched by Hilarion Etong, the First Vice-President of the National Assembly.
The training program is designed to improve the performance of the National Assembly's administration.

Cameroon has two official languages, English and French, and the program seeks to promote their use in the public administration. The training will cover two modules, focusing on language skills and computer literacy.
The program is also expected to enhance the staff's ability to effectively use digital tools. This is in line with the country's efforts to promote digitalization and improve the efficiency of its public institutions. The training will enable the staff to better serve the needs of the population and promote national unity through the use of both official languages.
The launch of the program was attended by Joseph LE, the Minister of Public Service and Administrative Reform. The Minister emphasized the importance of the program in promoting the country's bilingualism policy and digitalization agenda. The policy is enshrined in Article 1 of the Cameroonian Constitution, which guarantees the promotion of bilingualism throughout the country.
The training program is part of the National Assembly's efforts to improve its administrative capacity. The program will enable the staff to acquire the necessary skills to effectively discharge their duties. The National Assembly has recognized the importance of investing in its staff to improve the quality and efficiency of its services.
The 45-day training program is expected to equip the staff with the necessary skills to promote national unity and improve the delivery of public services.
