Kamer Tech Arena

Kamer Tech Arena is dedicated to reporting of Technology News and Technology Reviews across Cameroon.

We aim to push for more adoption and use of "Made in Cameroon" tech products by promoting new or existing tech products and tech startups in Cameroon. Kamer Tech Arena provides an opportunity for tech founders to showcase their startups/products, reports exclusive tech stories, and also report in-depth stories about Cameroon’s tech ecosystem. Basically, as a result of the fact that in this part of

the world, people see the nitty-gritty of technology as boring, our approach at Kamer Tech Arena is to give people the same nitty-grittiness of technology, but this time in a simple language, manner, and form.

According to the ministry, several digital finance platforms are currently active in the country without proper licensing. Authorities view this as a serious concern due to the associated risks, including fraud, money laundering, and illicit financial flows.

The ministry is urging citizens, businesses, and public institutions to be cautious when dealing with these unauthorized services.

In the statement, the Finance Minister outlined three key orders:

Platform operators must apply for a license within three months of May 5. After that, their operations will be considered illegal and may be shut down automatically.

All unlicensed payment service providers must cease operations immediately.

Operators of online lending or crowdfunding platforms without approval must stop all activity and report themselves to the appropriate authorities.

These actions aim to eliminate confusion between regulated financial institutions and unlicensed fintechs, which often blur the lines for users.

The ministry also warned that it won’t hesitate to pursue administrative or legal action against violators. Law enforcement and the judiciary have been called upon to help enforce the measures.

This tougher stance comes at a time when digital financial services are booming, but often lack the legal frameworks needed to ensure consumer safety.

The statement refers to Regulation No. 04/18/CEMAC/UMAC/COBAC, issued on December 21, 2018, which governs payment services in the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC). By reaffirming this regional legal framework, Cameroon’s government says it wants to protect users and strengthen trust in the country’s growing fintech sector.

Interview with Boris Landry Kouekam: Putting Cameroon on the global AI map.

In this exclusive interview, Boris Landry Kouekam, president of the Artificial Intelligence Cameroon association, discusses the ambitions of the Journées Camerounaises de l’Intelligence Artificielle ( ), the challenges of building a true local ecosystem, and the future prospects. The event, scheduled for April 22–25 in Cameroon, signals a growing momentum where the country aims to make its voice heard in the global digital arena.

The goal is to ensure that Cameroon is recognized on the global artificial intelligence map. It’s about convincing donors, investors, and partners that talent truly exists in Central Africa, and showing that young innovators in AI don’t need to go far to find support.

The edition aims to:

Promote the Cameroonian intelligentsia trained in AI

Bring together all actors in the field (researchers, entrepreneurs, institutions, etc.) into a single directory

Create a strategic document for the government

Reward the best projects through the AI Awards

And most importantly, demonstrate that the country is full of strong initiatives and local expertise ready to shine.

The event expects around 7,000 participants—5,000 in person and 2,000 online—including researchers, project leaders, academics, AI developers, as well as government and civil society representatives.

This platform is designed to be a true hub for innovation and collaboration. The gathering is envisioned as a moment of convergence, recognition, and projection for Cameroon’s AI ecosystem.

What about you? What do you think?

Do you believe Cameroon has what it takes to become a player in artificial intelligence?

Is it a real opportunity or a tough dream to achieve in our context?

We’re waiting for your thoughts in the comments!

Cameroon digitizes its Archives to build a smart State.

On April 2, 2025, in Yaoundé, the government officially launched its e-governance project to redesign the State through its data.

This project is not just a matter of scanning old documents. It aims to digitize, index, secure, and interconnect millions of administrative records. The goal is to integrate them into an intelligent system that can be used by all public services.

The technical coordination has been entrusted to Esther Olembe, Director of the National Archives. The plan involves integrating smart capture tools, optical character recognition (OCR), and electronic document management systems (EDMS) that comply with international standards.

This initiative falls within a logic of digital sovereignty. The government wants all sensitive data — such as official acts, political decisions, and administrative documents — to be hosted locally on secure, interoperable infrastructures.

Documents will be accessible through certified online platforms. A traceability system ensures the authenticity and integrity of each file. The State aims to retrieve, verify, and transmit any piece of information in just a few clicks.

The E-Government project involves around thirty ministries working toward a coherent digital ecosystem. This initiative includes several key aspects:

Harmonizing data formats to allow platforms from different administrations to « communicate » with one another;
Creating a Cameroonian sovereign cloud capable of reliably storing terabytes of critical documents;
Implementing firewalls, encryption algorithms, and smart alerts to counter cyber threats.

This is a deep reform that requires rethinking the entire chain — from data creation, classification, and access, to sharing and destruction.

According to Minette Libom Li Likeng, Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, this project is a strategic prerequisite for modernizing all public services — including healthcare, justice, taxation, law enforcement, and education — because a digital State relies on reliable, centralized, and controlled information.

What Do You Think?
Do you believe this digitization of archives can truly transform Cameroon’s public administration?
