Strengthening Peace & Security: A Look Back at the WAM–DDR Integrated Training in Yaoundé
From 29 June to 3 July 2026, Cameroon marked an important milestone in its ongoing commitment to peace and national security. The Integrated Training on Weapons and Ammunition Management (WAM) in DDR Context and Countering Diversion, held at Suita Hotel in Yaoundé, brought together key national and international actors dedicated to building a safer future for our country.
This five‑day workshop convened officials from the National Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Committee (NDDRC), law enforcement agencies, customs services, civil society organizations, and other strategic stakeholders. Their shared mission: strengthening technical capacity in the safe management of weapons and ammunition and preventing their diversion into illicit circulation.
The initiative was organized by CAMYOSFOP, in partnership with the Government of Cameroon (MINREX), BICC, the African Union, United Nations Peacebuilding and Peace Support, RECSA, and the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). The workshop concluded with a high‑level policy conference at IRIC, where partners reviewed progress and explored pathways for deeper collaboration.

To the media partners, your support in amplifying the workshop’s message across the national territory played a crucial role in ensuring Cameroonians everywhere understood the importance of this effort.
Cameroon is navigating a delicate moment in its history. Our communities are grieving, our institutions are working tirelessly, and our people continue to hope for lasting peace. Initiatives like this workshop are not just technical exercises, they are expressions of national resilience.
Strengthening weapons and ammunition management, improving DDR processes, and preventing diversion are essential steps toward restoring trust, stability, and safety. Peacebuilding cannot be undermined, especially now. Every effort count, and every collaboration brings us closer to the Cameroon we all envision.
