Network of Environmental Stakeholders Cameroon Monthly Meeting Invite

Green Greetings NES-Cam Stakeholders,

This Sunday, August 11, 2024, at 02:00 PM, we meet at CEMASUD at Ghana Street (Opposite BAPCULL) for our first Civil Society-hosted NES-Cam Meeting.

As a gentle reminder from our June meeting, the following resolutions were made to revamp NES-Cam:

1. Membership in NES-Cam is limited to active registered organizations.

2. NES-Cam will be formalized through an MOU signed by different organizations and presented to various ministries such as MINEPDED, MINFOF, MINADER, MINEE, etc.

3. NES-Cam shall operate as an independent body, partnering with different sector ministries or councils to promote sustainable development initiatives in Cameroon.

4. NES-Cam members shall pay an annual registration fee of 20,000 francs and meet once every month, rotating between organizations' offices. Using the "Njangi" system, NES-Cam members shall support each other with a monthly contribution of 20,000 francs to help the host organization prepare and receive stakeholders. During these meetings, the host organization will present all its projects, programs, and best practices.

5. CEMASUD was agreed to host the first meeting in July, during which the aforementioned proposals will be fine-tuned and adopted. The meeting will also serve as a crucial point to start working on the leadership structure of NES-Cam and commence the establishment of a Plan of Action.

6. A simple logo will be proposed by Y'G Inc. for the creation of NES-Cam letterhead, stamp, and other branding materials.

7. Participants were tasked with mobilizing all environmental organizations in the region to be part of NES-Cam.

I propose that we start deliberating on some of these issues online while we wait for the meeting time to be confirmed by CEMASUD.

Thank you for your understanding.

Green regards,
