To improve potable water supply: CAMWATER, Commonwealth Enterprise & Investment Council seal deal.

The agreement was sealed April 11 in Yaounde. This was during a ceremony to officially launch the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council Regional Hub for Cameroon and Gabon.

The Director General of CAMWATER, Blaise Moussa, penned the agreement on behalf of his institution while the Chairman of CWEIC, Lord Jonathan Peter Marland, signed for the his organisation. 

The Five-Year Priority Investment Programme, according to both officials, will better strengthen the cooperation between both institutions. 

The partnership, according to Moussa, falls within the framework of cooperation and the search for funding in the sector of production, distribution and marketing of potable water. 

The project, he noted, is in compliance with the National Development Strategy, SND30, in putting all its levers in motion for the respect of the High Instructions of the Head of State, contained in his speech to the Nation of December 31, 2022. 

The multiplication of actions, he added, seeks to win back credible donors with the high agreement from technical and financial trustees for the completion of several projects. This, with the aim of improving portable water supply across the national territory.

The role of CWEIC, according to the agreement, will be to mobilise power and the network of trustees of the Commonwealth members to stimulate trade and investment thereby improving the standard of living of the population of Cameroon.

It is worth noting that CWEIC was established in July 2014 with the support of the Commonwealth Secretariat and member Governments. 

It is a not-for-profit membership organisation with a remit from Commonwealth Heads of Government to promote trade, investment and the role of the private sector across the 53 member countries.
