SUMMARY:Governance Quality and the Crisis in Cameroon
DESCRIPTION:Public Dialogue on: Governance Quality and the Crisis in Cameroon (WEB SEMINAR)\nDate: July 17\, 2020 / Time: 3pm (Cameroon time)/ Duration: 90 minutes\nOrganizer: Nkafu Policy Institute\, Think tank of the Denis and Lenora Foretia foundation\nBackground    \nCameroon is often described as a microcosm of Africa not just because of its physical and ecological diversity\, but also due to its dual colonial inheritance of British and French sub-systems since independence and reunification. Though characterized by cultural diversities\, the severing of the country between Anglophones and Francophones is the most visible diversity that have over the years attracted various attentions. The country is divided into ten administrative regions. Since independence\, many pundits quickly criticize the quality of governance by the dominantly centralized governments as responsible for security and other development challenges. Ironically\, the country is endowed with rich natural resources\, including oil and gas\, minerals\, timber\, and agricultural products. Despite this rich natural endowment\, it would seem that the existing governance dispensation in the country since its independence from colonial rule has generated divisions\, injustice\, prejudice\, growing inequalities among the citizenry on the basis of ethnicity\, language and other class principles. Some ethnic groups seem to have been favoured over others in terms of appointments and resource allocation. The theory of regional balance in resource allocation and distribution of state resources as preached by the government is selective and discriminatory\, this is possible because centralization gave the government of Cameroon tremendous authority over most aspects of politics and economic control. Therefore\, that linguistic and cultural heritage that once contributed to making Cameroon a peaceful\, prosperous and stable country\, are today the root causes of the crisis that escalated from the 2016 lawyers’ and teachers strike in the Anglophone Regions of the country. To many non-partisan actors\, the crisis which has been on for four years today is symptomatic of poor governance that have not been able to usher in socio-economic developments to make the population lead better lives. The consequences of these conflicts are so devastating that it appears there is urgency to debate and propose solid measures that will promote good governance and development. It is in this light that the Nkafu Policy Institute through its Governance and Democracy programme is creating avenues to encourage greater participation of the citizens in giving their views\, on how good governance can be achieved in Cameroon in particular and Africa at large.\nObjective of the event\nThe objective of this event is to engage scholars\, youth leaders and the public in the search for sustainable solutions to existing governance lapses in Cameroon. The Anglophone crisis which is now in the 4th year and continues to make national and international headlines in the wake of government’s efforts demands continuous engagements from other sectors of the Cameroonian society such as think tanks to contribute to good governance which essential in resolving the crisis. The COVID 19 has also added a new dimension to the crisis.\nThis event which hopes to provide Scholars\, Youth Leaders and Citizens a platform to amplify their voices would significantly contribute to good governance in Cameroon especially through the promotion of a democracy that works “. this is in line with the mission of the NKAFU Policy Institute\, a think tank (research center) of the Denis and Lenora FORETIA Foundation\, is to carry out independent research and provide in-depth and insightful evidence based recommendations that advance the development of Cameroon and other sub-Saharan African countries.\nWho should participate?\nThis event aims to bring together participants from the public\, private and civil society sectors\, including youth leaders\, journalists\, researchers\, displaced persons\, traditional authorities\, and scholars who have the potential to propose strategies and to deepen Good Governance in Cameroon.\nParticipation fees?\nNo participation fees fee is required. However\, all participants are required to register online free of charge on our website by clicking the registration button below.\nThematic focus areas of the Public Dialogue\nDuring the event\, there will be presentations on major facts about the history of Cameroon and the various possible strategies to attain good governance and democracy in the country.  The event will consist of a 90 minutes’ open discussion.\nThe discussions will be organized around the following key thematic focus areas in Good Governance and democracy in Cameroon.\nOverview of the Governance in Cameroon\nThe link between governance practices and conflicts in Cameroon.\nAccountability as the fundamental requirement of Good Governance\nA path to good governance in Cameroon and the restoration of lasting peace and security.\n.fusion-button.button-62 {border-radius:0px;}REGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Addressing the Social and Economic Shock of COVID-19 on African Economies:  A Conversation with Dr. Albert Zeufack
DESCRIPTION:Addressing the Social and Economic Shock of COVID-19 on African Economies:A Conversation with Dr. Albert Zeufack\nJune 17\, 2020 at 3 – 4PM Washington D.C Time\n8-9PM Cameroon Time\nBackground\nThe Covid-19 pandemic is the worse health crisis that has plagued the world since the outbreak of the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919\, and the most challenging crisis the world has faced since the Second World War. The pandemic has caused severe economic repercussions in many countries\, in addition to the health consequences with regards to mortality and morbidity. It has brought the global economy to a standstill as all forms of economic activity have been significantly interrupted to curtail the spread of the virus.  Unfortunately\, the African continent has not escaped the health and economic devastation of the pandemic.\nIn Africa\, the economic\, social\, and health problems brought by this pandemic further strain economies which have been struggling to recover from the impacts of a drastic fall in oil and commodity prices since 2014.  According to the World Bank’s biannual Africa’s Pulse report\, economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa\, for example\, is expected to decline from 2.4% in 2019 to between -2.1 and -5.1% in 2020. The region\, the report predicts\, will experience its first economic recession in the last 25 years. If adequate macroeconomic measures are not taken and quickly\, the recession will undoubtedly lead to an economic depression. However\, the depth of the recession will depend on the success of measures taken to mitigate its effects.  Thus\, critical analysis of the macroeconomic state of African economies amid the COVID-19 pandemic and brainstorming on the most effective policy options are urgently needed to not only cushion the economic pain but also lay the framework for a robust and inclusive recovery.\nThe overall goal of this event\nTo better understand how Africa is coping with COVID-19 and the short\, medium- and long-term socio-economic ramifications on the continent\n Main themes to be discussed during the event\nEconomic impact of COVID-19 on the global economy with emphasis on African economies\nWhat various countries\, multilateral partners and development finance institutions have done to respond so far\nUnderstanding the gaps in response\, what more needs to be done\nHow is the pandemic and the current responses being experienced by various sectors (agriculture\, manufacturing\, services\, etc)?\nWhat must be done by African leaders and friends of Africa to maximize the opportunities the pandemic offers to ensure the continent comes out stronger in the Post-COVID World?\n Expectations\nAt the end of this event\, participants will understand the following:\nEven though COVID-19 is a health crisis\, it has serious economic consequences all over the world.\nThe macroeconomic effects of COVID-19 on the global economy at large and African economies in particular.\nThe state of the African economies before the COVID-19 Pandemic.\nAccurate statistics concerning the economic impact of COVID-19 on the African and world economy.\nThe impact of COVID-19 on various economic activities such as investments\, production\, distribution\, and international trade.\nThe different macroeconomic options that could tackle the consequences of the pandemic on African economies.\n Date and Venue\nJune 17\, 2020 from 3-4PM Washington D.C Time\nEvent will be held on ZOOM and streamed live\n      6.

SUMMARY:COVID-19 and the Future of Work – A Global Perspective
DESCRIPTION:June 16\, 2020 at 10AM Washington D.C(2PM Ghana\, 3PM Cameroon\, 4PM South Africa\, 7:30PM India) \n BACKGROUND\nApproximately half of the world’s population is under varying levels of restricted movement in an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19\, a public health emergency that has claimed thousands of lives and sparked fears of the worst global recession since the Great Depression. This sudden decrease in movement has had a profound impact on the way we work\, our mental\, and physical well-being. As a result\, many social scientists and psychologists around the world are keenly observing the implications of this enforced global experiment on work behaviors\, hours\, and locations\, to name a few. While these restrictions have forced employees in many organizations to work from their homes\, thereby managing their tasks and time with little supervision\, it has also caused a steep rise in unemployment rates in sectors such as hospitality and entertainment that require workers to physically deliver the services.\nHome-based work has not been without challenges. Some workers report similar or improved performance at home\, compared to working in an office\, while others report reduced performance from struggling to balance work and other commitments such as dependent care. Companies\, on the other hand\, are recording financial gains from reduced travel\, utility\, sometimes rent expenses in the short run\, but the long-term trade-off in potential productivity\, culture\, and profitability decline are unknown. Though we cannot predict the future\, one thing is sure\, the pandemic and the emergency measures that were taken by most organizations will completely change the perception and nature of work in the future. These changes may include redesigning job performance expectations\, travel requirements\, and working hours to reconcile newly developed work habits with post-pandemic norms. According to Adam Grant\, a professor of Management and Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School\, leaders could take the opportunity to give their employees more control and\, hopefully\, discover that they can trust them to manage their schedules. Leaders may want to become more hands-on in learning about their employees’ values\, interests\, strengths\, and motivations.\nAfter the pandemic\, many organizations will continue to experiment with different ways of working\, including shorter workdays or may embrace long-term work from home for most or all employees. The pandemic has hastened the evolution of work to a more virtual workforce than the world was prepared for. As the world scrambles to adapt to the current work situation\, what should governments\, policymakers\, organizations\, and workers expect in the post pandemic world?\nPurpose of the event \nIdentify the changes and challenges to how workers participate in the workforce\nIdentify the effects of the changes in work on organizations\, governments\, policymakers\, and workers.\nForecast the post-pandemic work environment and propose recommendations on how various employers and employees can quickly adapt and reconcile past working habits with new developments and experiences from the pandemic. \nWho will attend? \nThis event will bring together participants from various fields of expertise\, including head of organizations\, government and policymakers\, workers in different areas\, managers\, entrepreneurs\, labor officials\, researchers\, students\, and the general public. \n Date\nJune 16\, 2020 at 10AM Washington D.C (2PM Ghana\, 3PM Cameroon\, 4PM South Africa\, 7:30PM India)\nAreas of concern\nThere will be presentations on key facts about the current pandemic\, and the changes that are occurring with structured work. The major areas of concern will be economic and technological development\, labour law\, public policies\, psychology\, and social welfare and any other areas not mentioned but the panelists think could greatly contribute to the discussion.\nExpected results\nAt the end of this event\, \nChanges brought about in work as a result of the current pandemic will be outlined.\nAll the effects of the pandemic on organisations\, government\, policy makers and workers will be identified.\nThere will be a forecast on the post pandemic work environment and concrete recommendations will be given for organisations\, government and policy makers\, workers and other participants as concerns the future of work. \nSPEAKERS \nDr. Jonathan Westover\nAssociate Professor and Chair – UVU\, Non-Resident Fellow – Nkafu Policy Institute \nFranklin Cudjoe\nFounder and Chief Executive Officer – IMANI Africa \nViola A.

SUMMARY:Flattening the COVID-19 Curve: Perspectives of Clinicians and Researchers
DESCRIPTION:NKAFU CORONA TASKFORCE WEBINAR \nFLATENNING THE COVID-19 CURVE IN CAMEROON: PERSPECTIVES OF RESEARCHERS AND CLINICIANS \nBackground \nIn the World and Cameron in particular\, the impact of COVID-19 has been tremendous due to the high concentration of people\, economic activities and resource consumption. Coronavirus threatens economic\, social and medical well-being of millions and there is an urgent need to act now to protect Cameroonians against this virus.\nThe COVID-19 pandemic is primarily a health shock. Since the 6th of March 2020\, Cameroon has been experiencing an upsurge in the number of new cases. Recognizing that this is a health emergency as the main objective\, countries including Cameroon have been responding to the global health emergency with a range of critical interventions to address the current pandemic. However\, the curve still keeps rising.\nThis webinar will be focused on discussing what type of activities should the government place priority on\, what and how should researchers and clinicians contribute towards  the flattening of the COVID curve\, and what rapid interventions are needed to help flatten the curve.\nPanelists  \nMazou N Temgoua MD\, MPH\, PhDc \nMedical Researcher\, Clinical Epidemiologist and Biostatistician \nMrs Jennet Atem  \nNurse Clinician at Emergency Department\, Lakeshore General Hospital\, Montreal\, Canada \nMark Keboa \nMigration Health Consultant Montreal\, Canada \nKevine Laure Nkaghere Mbuembue\, MD\, MPH \nDistrict Medical Officer of Diedo Littoral\nModerator \nDr. Gobina Ronald \nRapporteur \nOdette Kibu \n  \n.fusion-button.button-9 .fusion-button-text\, .fusion-button.button-9 i {color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-9 {border-width:0px;border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-9 .fusion-button-icon-divider{border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-9:hover .fusion-button-text\, .fusion-button.button-9:hover i\,.fusion-button.button-9:focus .fusion-button-text\, .fusion-button.button-9:focus i\,.fusion-button.button-9:active .fusion-button-text\, .fusion-button.button-9:active{color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-9:hover\, .fusion-button.button-9:focus\, .fusion-button.button-9:active{border-width:0px;border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-9:hover .fusion-button-icon-divider\, .fusion-button.button-9:hover .fusion-button-icon-divider\, .fusion-button.button-9:active .fusion-button-icon-divider{border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-9{width:100%;}\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Séminaire en ligne: Aplatir la courbe du COVID-19 au Cameroun
DESCRIPTION:Dans le monde et au Cameron en particulier\, l’impact du COVID-19 a été énorme en raison de la forte concentration des personnes\, des activités économiques et de la consommation de ressources. Le coronavirus menace le bien-être économique\, social et médical de millions de personnes et il est urgent d’agir maintenant pour protéger les Camerounais contre ce virus. La pandémie liée au COVID-19 est avant tout un choc sanitaire. Depuis le 6 mars 2020\, le Cameroun connaît une recrudescence du nombre de nouveaux cas.

SUMMARY:webinar 2: The social and Economic Implication of COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has led to countries implementing prevention measures such as Large-scale quarantines\, travel restrictions\, and social-distancing. These measures automatically drives a sharp fall in consumer and business spending. The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) estimates the economic impact of Covid-19 at a minimum of $1 trillion in 2020. Britain unveiled a £330 billion (about $382 billion) stimulus package\, and the US has committed $1 trillion\, in addition to $50 billion in financial aid to states\, cities and territories. What is the case of Cameroon?There is uncertainty over the effectiveness of most social distancing measures as a means of controlling COVID-19. The cultural norms in Africa embraces social gatherings as a means of living together.\nThe big question is how the COVID-19 will affect the social relationships and the economic growth of Cameroon given that she has plans of emerging by 2035.\nThe purpose of this webinar is to discuss on the strategies which the government can implement in order to keep its social and economic environment growing amidst the preventive measures put in place against COVID-19\nEconomic impact.  measures until the end of Q2\, producing a recession. Although the outbreak comes under control in most parts of the world by late in Q2\, the self-reinforcing dynamics of a recession kick in and prolong the slump until the end of Q3. Consumers stay home\, businesses lose revenue and lay off workers\, and unemployment levels rise sharply. Business investment contracts\, and corporate bankruptcies soar\, putting significant pressure on the banking and financial system.\n  \n.fusion-button.button-15 .fusion-button-text\, .fusion-button.button-15 i {color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-15 {border-width:0px;border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-15 .fusion-button-icon-divider{border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-15:hover .fusion-button-text\, .fusion-button.button-15:hover i\,.fusion-button.button-15:focus .fusion-button-text\, .fusion-button.button-15:focus i\,.fusion-button.button-15:active .fusion-button-text\, .fusion-button.button-15:active{color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-15:hover\, .fusion-button.button-15:focus\, .fusion-button.button-15:active{border-width:0px;border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-15:hover .fusion-button-icon-divider\, .fusion-button.button-15:hover .fusion-button-icon-divider\, .fusion-button.button-15:active .fusion-button-icon-divider{border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-15{width:100%;}\nREGISTER NOW
