One of Cameroon’s leading financial institutions, Crédit Communautaire d'Afrique, CCA Bank, has mapped out its 2026 strategic roadmap, setting clear priorities for internal governance, growth and international expansion. 

This was the focus of a three-day strategic retreat held from January 14 to 16, 2026, in Bangou, West Region of the country.



The high-level governance and planning exercise coordinated by General Management, brought together over 150 participants. 

Ranked among the top five banking institutions in Cameroon, CCA Bank operates in a fast-changing financial environment marked by increased competition and evolving customer expectations.

Within this context, 2026 has been identified as a pivotal year, driven by objectives of consolidation, improved performance and a gradual opening to international markets, while maintaining a customer-centred approach. 

The retreat provided a structured framework for assessment, anticipation and strategic positioning.

The three-day proceedings were conducted under the authority of the General Manager, Alvine Tiwoda, whose strategic vision guided the discussions. 

Departments and directorates reviewed their operational performance, examined risks and opportunities and defined priority actions for the 2026 financial year.

The sessions were structured around results-oriented exchanges designed to ensure coherence between operational objectives and the bank’s overall strategy. 

At the end of the retreat, a consolidated roadmap was validated by Head Office, supported by clearly defined performance indicators for phased implementation across the institution.

Human capital development featured prominently during the retreat, with CCA Bank reaffirming it as a central pillar of sustainable institutional growth. 

Top management highlighted initiatives already undertaken to improve working conditions, modernise operational tools and strengthen skills development across teams.

Discussions also addressed internal governance principles, managerial discipline, professional ethics and the promotion of a culture of measurable performance. 

Particular attention was given to customer experience, identified as a core element for maintaining competitiveness in Cameroon’s banking sector.

 

Leadership, managerial cohesion

Dedicated sessions on leadership development and team cohesion formed part of the programme. The sessions were facilitated by the Academic Director of the holding company, with support from PANESS Consulting.

Through team-building activities, participants explored ways to strengthen managerial practices, optimise decision-making processes and reinforce a corporate culture based on accountability, discipline and cross-functional cooperation. 

The sessions aimed at enhancing coordination between departments and improving operational efficiency.

 

Institutional identity highlighted

The retreat concluded with a gala evening organised under the theme: “Chic in African Attire”, reflecting the bank’s institutional signature, “Finance at the heart of African traditions”. 

The event was held around a bonfire and combined a formal closing ceremony with a cultural dimension.

Beyond its social aspect, the evening served as an opportunity to highlight CCA Bank’s values and cultural identity, reinforcing internal cohesion and a shared sense of belonging among staff.

During the closing activities, the General Manager, Alvine Tiwoda, accompanied by the Deputy General Manageer, Kaltoum Bawa, commended staff for their engagement throughout the retreat. 

They reiterated expectations regarding rigour, discipline and performance for the 2026 financial year. 

Management also reaffirmed its commitment to supporting all entities in implementing the validated strategic orientations through close managerial engagement and continuous performance monitoring.

 

CCA Bank steps into 2026 united

According to the financial institution, the 2026 strategic retreat enabled was an opportunity to strengthen its governance framework, reinforce managerial alignment and structure a collective dynamic focused on sustainable performance and improved customer experience. 

With a consolidated roadmap, defined priorities and engaged teams, the bank enters the 2026 financial year with a structured approach aimed at strengthening its position in the nation’s banking sector while pursuing controlled and sustainable expansion.
