(Business in Cameroon) - Nikolay Ratsiborinsky, Ambassador of Russia in Cameroon, met with the Cameroonian Minister of Energy and Water, Basile Atangana Kouna, on 21 March 2017 in Yaoundé, the capital of the country. Accompanied by the Director of the Information and Analysis Centre for the Development of Water Resources in the Federation of Russia, the Russian diplomat came to request the establishment of a joint committee between the two countries in the water and energy sector.

This is, we learned, a workgroup which will be in charge of reviewing a set of projects presented by the Cameroonian side and which could benefit from the Russian expertise. This attempt to boost the Russian-Cameroonian cooperation in the water sector comes in at a time when important water conveyance projects are carried out in the country.

Concurrently, the service contract for the distribution of drinking water throughout Cameroon awarded to the Moroccan company Onep a few year ago, will expire in 2018. In a correspondence dated 3 August 2016, Minister Atangana Kouna indicated to the MD of CDE ( the company through which the Moroccans operate), that “on the very high instructions of the hierarchy, said contract will not be renewed upon expiry”.
