With the liberalization of the telecommunications sector in Cameroon in 1998, the institutional framework for the sector developed. Since then,

the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications ensures the regulation of the sector, the operators, the operation of the communications services

the Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ART) and the National Information Technology Agency and

of Communication (ANTIC), regulation. In addition to these actors, we have the National School of Posts, Telecommunications

and Information and Communication Technologies (SUP PTIC) for training in the sector and the National Digital Center

of Agricultural Knowledge (CNNCA).

In view of the evolution of telecommunications networks and services and especially in an increasingly dominated context

through the development of the digital economy, reforms have been thought in the electronic communications sector

to adapt the legal and institutional frameworks to the new requirements imposed by these developments.

in 2016 the digital economy strategic development plan entitled “Digital Cameroon by 2020”.

Axis n ° 7 of the said strategy which focuses on the development of human capital and leadership in digital technology indicates

the need for actors in the sector to strengthen their capacities. This capacity building aimed at giving

these tools allowing them not only to adapt to the new sectoral context, but also to acquire

skills necessary to better fulfill their roles.

In addition, in the accomplishment of the missions of these different structures, shortcomings remain, due to the insufficiency

staff training, hence the need to strengthen their capacities.
