Yaoundé, March 4, 2026 – At the end of an extraordinary session of its Council of Honorary Members held at the headquarters of the NSIF, the Blockchain Association of Cameroon (BAC) announces major changes in its leadership structure and the launch of an ambitious three-year plan to position Cameroon as the leading technology hub in Central Africa. The following took part: Armand Gaetan NGUETI, Alphonse NAFACK, Dr Henri TAFOU, Dr Antoine NKOLO, Alain Olivier Noël MEKULU MVONDO AKAME represented by Armand Gaetan NGUETI.
New Executive Leadership
The Board ratified the appointment of Mr. Alain Olivier Noël MEKULU MVONDO AKAME to the position of Executive Chairman of the Council of Honorary Members. This transition marks the transition of the association to the status of a Learned Society, capable of providing high-level expertise to public and private decision-makers. He succeeds Dr. Henri TAFOU, who becomes General Advisor of the Learned Society of the Blockchain Association of Cameroon (BAC).
The Council has also strengthened its ranks with the co-optation of two experts from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MINPOSTEL), Dr. Pauline TSAFAK and Dr. Denis NGAE, illustrating the growing synergy between the association and the regulatory authorities.
Roadmap 2026-2029: Prioritizing Human Capital and Financing
Under the impetus of the Founder and National President, Armand Gaetan NGUETI, the Board validated a roadmap articulated around six priority strategic axes:
- Financial Sovereignty: Seeking recognition of public utility and integration into public procurement.
- Human Capital: Certification of 10,000 experts per year in Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence.
- Regulation: Advocacy for a regulatory sandbox with the BEAC and COBAC.
- Food Sovereignty: Traceability of agropastoral value chains via distributed ledger technologies (DLTs).
- Sovereign AI: Certification of the integrity of national data.
- R&D: Creation of a sub-regional centre of excellence.
Openness and Inclusiveness
In an effort to increase its representativeness, the Council decided to expand its membership to ten members, with a focus on the inclusion of women leaders, high-ranking academics and representatives from the Anglophone and northern zones.
The BAC reaffirms its commitment to support Cameroon in achieving the objectives of the SND30, by making digital technology the engine of the structural transformation of the economy.
In this perspective, the BAC strongly recommends that public and private governments and managers make blockchain technology one of the catalysts for the effectiveness and efficiency of operational strategies, public policies dedicated to decentralization and import-substitution, particularly in its "Made in Cameroon" component.
