SUMMARY:Rights and Freedoms of Socially Vulnerable Categories: How to Build Universal and Inclusive Protection from the Cameroonian Case ?
DESCRIPTION:Date: March 6\, 2025\,\nTime: from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m\nVenue: Zoom Online (Register now) \n\nBackground\n\nWhile African states have for several decades made commitments at the international and national levels to guarantee the rights and freedoms of all individuals\, certain social categories considered vulnerable continue to face systemic obstacles in the effective enjoyment of their rights. Women and people with disabilities are particularly concerned: data shows that they encounter specific obstacles in accessing their social\, political and economic rights. (1). It is in this general context that the Nkafu Policy Institute has produced a report entitled “Rights and freedoms of socially vulnerable categories”\, to analyze in the specific case of Cameroon\, the state\, challenges and prospects of the rights and freedoms of these two social categories. This conversation will then mainly focus on a discussion of the main results of this report\, in order to understand\, from the case of Cameroon\, the situation of women and people with disabilities in Africa\, particularly in a context of socio-political crisis and economic and cultural challenges. \n\nObjectives\n\nThe objective of this conversation is to broadly analyze the main ideas of the report based on evidence from Cameroon and other African countries\, to highlight general trends and strategies to improve access to rights for women and persons with disabilities. Specifically\, it will: \n\nAnalyze and assess the effectiveness of current legal and social mechanisms that enable women and persons with disabilities to exercise their rights in all areas ;\nIdentify gaps and systemic barriers (discrimination\, exclusion\, poverty\, gender-based barriers\, intersectionality) that hinder universal access to fundamental freedoms for women and persons with disabilities ;\nPromote inclusive public policies that integrate participatory approaches to ensure that the voices of vulnerable people shape decisions that affect them ;\nFacilitate wide dissemination of the report on the rights and freedoms of women and people with disabilities so that this document serves as a lever to influence public policies\, raise awareness and enable those concerned to fully take ownership of their rights.\n\n\nExpected Outcomes\n\n\nRaise awareness about the rights of women and people with disabilities:Make it known that respect for the rights of women and people with disabilities is a community affair and the balance of societies is based on the inclusion and respect of all its members ;\nEncourage women and people with disabilities to claim their rights:get the targets of the report to break the silence on the different forms of abuse they are victims of ;\nAdvocate for more inclusive policies and programs or those specifically dedicated to women and people with disabilities:Get public decision-makers to draw inspiration from the recommendations of the report and the conversation to strengthen discriminatory measures against women and people with disabilities.\n\n\nExpected Outputs\n\n\nRenewal of the approach in the analysis of human rights: adopt an analysis of rights and public policies that directly target women and people with disabilities\, to avoid the generalist or holistic approaches regularly used\, which do not allow for a specific assessment of the evolution of the rights of certain social groups that face specific challenges ;\nPromote the dissemination of the report: This conversation will help to better highlight the importance of such a report and facilitate its dissemination to participants in the form of a directly accessible link ;\nPublication of the conversation on On Policy Magazine:This conversation will be published in the form of a dialogue on the Nkafu Policy Institute magazine.\n\n\nTarget audience \n\nThis Conversation is accessible to everyone\, without restriction. \n\nEvent Format\n\nThe Conversation will take place online\, via the Zoom platform and will be simultaneously broadcast on the Denis & Lenora Foretia Foundation’s social media channels. In addition\, French to English interpretation will be available throughout the conversation\, to ensure that all participants understand the analyses. \n\nEvent Date\n\nThis is a one-hour event\, which will be held on March 6\, 2025\, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Cameroon time. \n\nAbout the Denis & Lenora Foretia Foundation\n\nThe Denis & Lenora Foretia Foundation was established to catalyze Africa’s economic transformation by focusing on social entrepreneurship\, science and technology innovation\, public health\, and progressive policies that create economic opportunities for all.

SUMMARY:2025 Public Policy Analysis Course
DESCRIPTION:Date : March 10-12\, 2025\nVenue : La Falaise Hotel\, Yaoundé-Cameroon\nRegister Now \nBackground\nThe Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) is a regional bloc comprising 11 member states within the African Union (AU). These countries face complex set of governance\, socio-economic\, and developmental challenges. Addressing these challenges requires the development and implementation of evidence-based public policies to drive sustainable growth. Despite the pressing need for evidence-based policies\, governments and civil society organizations in the region often grapple with significant gaps in policy analysis\, advocacy\, and stakeholder engagement. Bridging these gaps is crucial to fostering inclusive\, effective\, and sustainable policymaking. \nThe African Union Agenda 2063 underscores the importance of evidence-based governance and institutional capacity building to achieve its vision of “The Africa We Want.” Aspiration 3 of Agenda 2063 explicitly calls for “an Africa of good governance\, democracy\, respect for human rights\, justice\, and the rule of law.” Similarly\, the African Charter on Democracy\, Elections\, and Governance (ACDEG) outlines commitments to strengthen institutional frameworks and support participatory governance. The African Governance Architecture (AGA) further emphasizes the need for enhanced technical and analytical capacities to ensure policy coherence and responsiveness to regional challenges. \nAdditional research\, such as the African Development Bank’s (AfDB) 2022 Report on Capacity Building for Policy Reforms in Africa\, highlights the critical role of technical and relational skills in achieving policy impact. The report identifies policy gaps and weak stakeholder engagement as key barriers to effective governance across ECCAS countries. These findings align with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) Policy Analysis Framework\, which stresses the importance of data-driven policy processes in fostering sustainable development. \nIn response to these needs and in alignment with AU and global priorities\, the Nkafu Policy Institute\, a leading Think Tank of the Denis & Lenora Foretia Foundation is launching the 2025 edition of its Public Policy Analysis Course (PPAC). The program is a strategic initiative aimed to provide a structured\, practical platform for building capacity among policymakers\, researchers\, and civil society leaders to respond to ECCAS-specific challenges. This three-day annual event will enhance technical and interpersonal competencies in policy analysis\, communication\, and advocacy\, contributing to evidence-based policymaking and fostering collaboration among ECCAS stakeholders. \nBy addressing these regional policy gaps\, the PPAC directly supports the realization of AU frameworks\, particularly those outlined in Agenda 2063 and the AGA\, while reinforcing ECCAS’s role in advancing good governance and sustainable development. \nObjectives\nThe PPAC aims to: \n\nBuild participants’ capacity in public policy analysis by equipping them with theoretical frameworks and practical tools.\nSupport evidence-based policymaking tailored to ECCAS-specific challenges by addressing how issues are identified\, prioritized\, and introduced onto the public agenda.\nDevelop participants’ communication and advocacy skills to enhance policy engagement and stakeholder management.\n\nExpected Outcomes\nBy the end of the course\, participants will: \n\nEnhance Technical Proficiency: Develop skills in policy analysis\, evaluation\, and implementation.\nFormulate Actionable Recommendations: Learn to craft concrete and practical policy recommendations based on sound analysis.\nImprove Writing Skills: Gain expertise in producing compelling\, evidence-based opinion pieces advocating for policy reform.\nDesign Advocacy Plans: Create comprehensive advocacy strategies that include clear objectives\, target audiences\, messages\, and tactical approaches.\nMaster Advocacy Techniques: Acquire communication and advocacy skills critical for influencing policy decisions.\nStrengthen Stakeholder Engagement: Cultivate the ability to effectively engage diverse stakeholders to advance policy reforms and governance initiatives.\n\nTarget Audience\nThe course is tailored for: \n\nThink Tank Professionals: Researchers and analysts involved in public policy evaluation within ECCAS countries.\nGovernment Officials: Policymakers responsible for formulating\, implementing\, and assessing public policies.\nCivil Society Leaders: Advocates working on policy reform initiatives.\nDevelopment Practitioners: Professionals from

SUMMARY:2025 Scientific and Manuscripts Writing Course
DESCRIPTION:Date : March 11-12\, 2025\nVenue : La Falaise Hotel\, Yaoundé-Cameroon \nRegister Now \nBackground \nAfrica faces multifaceted challenges that require innovative solutions grounded in science and technology. However\, the continent’s contribution to global scientific output remains disproportionately low. With 12% of the world’s population\, Africa accounts for less than 1% of global academic publications\, significantly limiting its influence on scientific progress. \nScientific writing and publication are fundamental to advancing research\, ensuring credibility\, and fostering global collaboration. The quality and quantity of published works often determine researchers’ career progression\, peer recognition\, and access to critical funding. Yet\, the limited representation of African researchers as first authors\, even in studies centered on African issues\, highlights significant gaps in capacity and opportunity. These challenges stem from inadequate training in scientific writing\, a lack of mentorship opportunities\, and insufficient resources for young researchers. Addressing these gaps is essential to positioning Africa as a leader in scientific innovation. \nThe Nkafu Policy Institute\, a leading think tank of the Denis & Lenora Foretia Foundation\, is committed to empowering young African researchers. Through this 3rd edition of the Scientific and Manuscript Writing Course\, we aim to enhance participants’ skills in scientific writing\, foster confidence in the publishing process\, and improve the dissemination of high-quality research.  \nObjectives \nThe Scientific and Manuscript Writing Course seeks to: \n\nEquip young African researchers with advanced scientific writing skills.\nStrengthen participants’ ability to effectively communicate research findings.\nFoster a network of mentorship in scientific writing and publication.\nInstill best practices in ethical publishing and research integrity. \n\nExpected Outcomes \nBy the end of the course\, participants will: \n\nMaster the principles of writing high-quality scientific manuscripts.\nGain practical strategies for publishing in high-impact journals.\nUnderstand ethical guidelines and best practices for scientific publication.\nBuild confidence to lead as first authors and co-authors in global research.\nBe part of an active mentorship network supporting ongoing professional growth. \n\nTarget Audience \nThe course is tailored for: \n\nMaster’s and PhD students.\nEarly-career researchers and professionals in academia and related fields. \n\nParticipation Requirements \nTo attend\, participants must pay the applicable training fees: \n\nStudents: XAF 15\,000\nEarly-career researchers and professionals: XAF 30\,000\n\nParticipation is capped at 25 individuals\, with sponsorship opportunities available for select candidates.  \nPayment: Once selected\, participants can pay via Mtn Mobile Money\, Eventbrite\, cash\, bank transfer or credit card (VISA\, MasterCard\, and PayPal).

SUMMARY:Operational Working Group: Targeting underprivileged Populations: Inclusive Health Insurance Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Project: Expanding Private Health Insurance in Cameroon\nTheme:“Targeting underprivileged Populations: Inclusive Health Insurance Solutions”\nDate: Wednesday 26th March 2025\nTime: 10:00am – 12:00pm\nVenue: Muna Foundation\, Yaoundé\, Cameroon \n\nBackground \nHigh poverty rates and low health insurance coverage lead to high out-of-pocket and often catastrophic health spendings. According to World Food Program (WFP)\, over 23% of Cameroonians live below the poverty line (less than 2.15 USD per person per day) and authors estimate the proportion of the population covered by any type of health insurance at about 6% (1\, 4). Extreme poverty is particularly true for those living in rural parts of the far North\, North\, South-west and North-west regions of the country (3)\, where populations experience recurring climatic shocks or are torn by conflict\, coupled with underdeveloped infrastructures. \nDespite the recently implemented Universal Health Coverage (UHC) phase 1\, only part of the population currently benefits from the packages offered while another considerable part is still left behind. Although health insurance offers both an alternative and a complement to public health coverage\, it is often perceived as very expensive and accessible only to the well-off. With pervasive poverty and about 70% of workers operating in the informal sector\, how can public and private actors ensure medical aid coverage is inclusive\, particularly for the poor? What health insurance options are available for the underprivileged without further plugging into poverty? What strategies can be used to attract and maintain health insurance subscribers? \nThis operational working group seeks to explore medical aid coverage options for the underprivileged in Cameroon and discuss how to make health insurance packages more accessible and affordable. \nObjectives \nThe objective of this OWG is to discuss ways in which health insurance coverage can be made more accessible and affordable to the underprivileged. \nMore specifically: \n\nTo identify the specific needs and challenges faced by vulnerable groups in accessing health insurance.\nTo discuss successful strategies and models (from other countries for example) that can be adapted to the Cameroonian context.\nTo explore best practices for improving access to health insurance within the Cameroonian population.\n\nExpected Outputs \nThe expected outputs are: \n\nImproved knowledge on the needs and challenges faced by vulnerable groups in accessing health insurance.\nIdentified strategies tailored to the needs of the under underprivileged in Cameroon.\nStrengthened collaboration among various stakeholders to enhance health insurance coverage.\n\nTargeted Audience \nThis OWG is intended for health insurance providers\, policymakers\, health economists\, government officials\, public health professionals\, healthcare users. \nVenue \nThis OWG will take place onsite at Muna Foundation (Yaoundé).
