A regional workshop opened in Bafoussam on June 12, 2026, focused on boosting non-tax revenue in Cameroon’s Northwest and West regions. The workshop, presided over by West Region Governor Awa Fonka Augustine, aims to increase these revenues twentyfold. The initiative seeks to diversify income streams for local administrations beyond traditional tax collection. Participants are exploring strategies for improved resource mobilization and economic development within the regions. The inter-regional approach suggests a collaborative effort to share best practices and maximize potential. Further details regarding specific strategies discussed at the workshop were not immediately available. The goal reflects a broader national effort to enhance financial autonomy at the regional level.
