When the 1st #Digital #BirthCertificate was printed at the #Bertoua🇨🇲 City Council, it was much more than the production of a document; it marked a new step toward making #LegalIdentity accessible to all.

For Hakim’s parents, the impact was immediate: while obtaining birth certificates for his older siblings took months, Hakim received his almost instantly.

Officiated by H.E. #Governor Grégoire Mvongo, the launch marks a major step in modernizing civil registration services in the #EastRegion🇨🇲. @UNDP RR Mathieu @Ciowela and #BUNEC DG Alexandre Marie YOMO joined the #CityMayor, Jean Marie Dimbélé Sodea, in handing over the first digital birth certificates.

This milestone was made possible through the implementation efforts of UNDP and BUNEC, with the generous support of #Denmark🇩🇰 and the Republic of #Korea 🇰🇷

#MINAT, @UNDP, and the @EU_Commission have launched a 4-day capacity-building training on Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (#PDNA) and Recovery and Peacebuilding Assessment (#RPBA), bringing together more than 50 national authorities, partners, and experts to strengthen #Cameroon’s capacity for resilient recovery planning.

The training is equipping stakeholders with integrated tools to assess damage and losses, prioritize sectoral needs, and design risk-informed, costed recovery frameworks for #Cameroon’s complex multi-crisis context.

The training was chaired by #SG-#MINAT, Yves Christian Edoa Effa, and co-chaired by #UNDP DRR @Mharthansen, and the representative of the Ambassador of @UEauCameroun, Luc Herrouin.

[PNUD Cameroun @PNUDCameroun]

As the training progresses, participants are applying #PDNA and #RPBA approaches through practical exercises and shared expertise to produce concrete outputs, from sectoral damage and loss assessments to prioritized, costed recovery frameworks.

These practical results are strengthening national capacity for coordinated, evidence-based decision-making and advancing efforts to assess damage and losses, prioritize needs, and mobilize #financing for #SustainableRecovery in Cameroon’s complex multi-crisis context.
