(Business in Cameroon) - On November 14, 2019, two Belgian and Czech delegations were received at Cameroon’s Ministry of Water and Energy. At the end of the two audiences granted to these partners by Minister Gaston Eloundou Essomba, the delegations expressed interest in the development of energy projects in Cameroon.

The Czechs, for instance, intend to seize the opportunities that exist in the renewable energy sector and contribute their expertise in the development of hydroelectric projects.

Belgians, who are already present in the drinking water sector, through the financing and implementation of water supply projects, intend to play a role in the development of projects in the electricity sector, in particular through the construction of mini-power plants in remote areas in Cameroon.
