(Business in Cameroon) - Yaoundé, the Cameroonian capital, will host from 24 to 26 May 2017 the very first edition of the Pan African Project Management Conference, organised by Prescriptor, a Pan African investment and project management consultancy firm, in partnership with the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, we learned via an official press release.

Centred around the theme “speeding up Africa’s economic transformation through project management”, the mission of this conference, according to Babissakana, CEO of Prescriptor, “is to gradually close Africa’s technological gap in project management, but at an accelerated pace, in line with the successful implementation of the Agenda 2063 of the African Union developed to achieve a Pan Africanist and African renaissance vision”.  

In practical terms, we learned, during this gathering, “the best project management technologies, recognised at the international level, will be the topic of several exchanges, for interested parties on the African continent to acquire and master them”.  

Initially scheduled for November 2016, this Pan African conference was finally postponed to May 2017, ‘due to various circumstances, and to ensure optimum performance”, justified the organisers.
