FODIAS – Forum for the Diaspora

The Forum for the Diaspora held in Yaounde in 2017 was organised by the government in partnership with the Agence Française de Developpement. It aimed to develop an inclusive strategy between the Cameroonian government and members of the Diaspora. The Forum resulted in a range of recommendations including the establishment of a Secretariat of State for the Diaspora, along with the development of a database of diaspora members including their socio-economic profile and professional competencies.
