On Thursday July 13, a meeting was held between various ministerial departments and the Platform of the Promotion of Local Flour (PROFALCAM), at Immeuble Rose.
The aim of the meeting was to discuss the various ways in which the Cameroonian government intends to support PROFALCAM. This was the objective of the meeting held on July 13, 2023 on the premises of the Ministry of the Economy, Planning and Regional Development (MINEPAT). The meeting, chaired by the Director General of Planning and Regional Development, Zoutene Doufene, was attended by representatives from several ministerial departments, including MINFI (Ministry of Finance), MINDCAF (Ministry of Domains, Cadastre and Land Affairs), MINRESI (Ministry of Scientific Research and Innovation), MINMIDT (Ministry of Mines, Industry and Technological Development), and MinCommerce (Ministry of Trade). On the PROFALCAM side, the delegation was not quite as large, but not the least. Indeed, it included its President, Permanent Secretary, executives and partners.
For over two hours, the two parties discussed the sustainability, competitiveness, viability and maturation of the PROFALCAM project. But also its economic impact, it’s strategic positioning, its action plan, its achievements and so on. Of course, this exchange phase was preceded by a presentation of PROFALCAM and the progress of its action plan. The presentation by PROFALCAM’s SP, Medjiengoue Jean, was unanimously received by all present. Indeed, all were impressed by the platform’s many achievements in just one year and with no real budget. The MINMIDT representative was keen to personally congratulate PROFALCAM, which he saw as a good example of what similar projects could not achieve beyond the launch stage.
PROFALCAM was also able to present its financing, equipment and infrastructure requirements to the government. However, a few suggestions were made by the audience. PROFALCAM was invited to take these suggestions into account for its future activities. According to the chairman of the meeting, it was made clear that the government will not be able to meet all these demands, but it will nonetheless support PROFALCAM to see this objective achieved
Tout d’abord mes félicitations pour cette assise entre Profalcam et les Ministères Partenaires. Celle-ci marque témoignage de l’importance que le gouvernement attache au projet.
Seulement je voudrais savoir si le rapport détaillé de ces échanges ne peut pas être disposé dans les zones de la Plateforme.
