Solidarity between regions
The economic and social disparities between the different regions of Cameroon are very important. Some regions such as the Littoral and Centre benefit greatly from the presence of the economic capital for the first and the political capital for the second. Others, such as the East and the Far North, lag behind in socio-economic terms, despite a real potential for forest resources for the East and human resources for the Far North. We will organise solidarity between the different regions of Cameroon. To do this, it will be necessary to:
- Organise solidarity between the Regions by equalising the resources generated and taxes collected.
- Make the access to social security equal.
- Share successful experiences between regions and encourage skills transfer
Solidarity with vulnerable people
We will pay special attention to vulnerable people: people with disabilities, elderly people, orphans without any support, abandoned children or those in trouble with the law, retired people.
- Public buildings will need ramps to facilitate access for people with disabilities. 5% of places will be reserved for people living with a disability in administrative competitions.
- These measures will be added to the support provided for people with disabilities in the field of education
1- Strengthen the social security
- Determining the professional sectors where the insertion of the most vulnerable people will be the easiest
- Put in place specific mechanisms to support the entrepreneurial initiatives of these people
- Reforming the current pension system and broadening the retiree base
- Extend the retirement age at least at 60 for all and adjust it according to the hardness of the trades
- Create a special allowance equivalent to the SMIC for the elderly who today do not receive any formal support from the State
- Organise campaigns for the elderly to screen for certain chronic diseases and set up their care.
2- School under the tree super vised by young people
The principle of the school under the tree launched in Cameroon in 1961 to reduce illiteracy and which was abandoned between 1967-1970 will be brought up to date in the training centres.
- Provide the basics of reading, calculating and using modern communication tools to anyone (young or old) who has not had the opportunity to go to school.
- Young people of all levels will be called upon during periods of leave, weekends or according to their availability.
3- Retirees to teach the profession to young people
Retirees have valuable know-how in the profession to which they have devoted their active life. They will therefore be involved in vocational centres for the training and supervision of young people.
Solidarity with future generations.
We will pursue imaginative, coherent and committed policies for sustainable development to enable businesses to meet their present needs, without compromising the needs of future generations, because today we are responsible for what will happen to them tomorrow. Achieving solidarity with future generations will require the adoption of the following measures:
- Organise the protection of the ecosystem and our immediate environment
- Each cut tree will have to be replanted
- Put anti-pollution measures in place and reprocess industrial waste
- Prohibit chemical fertilisers and pesticides
A National Service of Solidarity Volunteers (NSSV)
We will create a National Service of Solidarity Volunteers (NSSV). This service, the offerings of which will be entirely taken care of by the State, will be made up of a reserve of young people from all regions of the country who will have to devote six months of their life to activities serving the community in a region of the country, before entering their professional life. They will also have the mission to intervene in case of crisis (natural disaster, serious accident) in Cameroon or in an African country.
