The United Councils and Cities of Cameroon (UCCC) recently hosted a transformative Digitization Workshop in the vibrant city of Bamenda, bringing together stakeholders from across the region to strengthen digital capacities within local councils. The two day workshop which took place at the Bamenda 1 hall brought together Local government officials, IT professionals, civil society representatives, and youth leaders. The objectives of the workshop was to:

-Build digital literacy among council staff

-Introduce e-governance tools for streamlined municipal services

-Promote the adoption of data-driven decision-making

-Share success stories from councils already implementing digital solutions

 Participants engaged in hands-on sessions covering digital platforms, cybersecurity basics, and cloud-based service delivery.
