FEICOM
The Best Partner for local develoPment

 

Created on 5 December 1974, Feicom is a public administrative establishment under the supervision of the ministry in charge of local authorities. its missions are as follows:
 Mutual assistance among the councils through solidarity
 Contributions and cash advances ;
 Financing council or intercouncil investment projects ;
 Covering training charges for local councilors, council and civil status staff ;
 Pooling and redistributing resources intended for local authorities.
All these missions fall in line with the vision of the President of the republic, his Excellency President Paul BiYa, spelt out in the Growth and employment Strategy Paper (GeSP), reference framework of government policy aimed at making Cameroon an emergent, democratic and united country in its diversity in 2035.
One of the main lines of the GeSP is the enhancement of the decentralization process, which places the 374 councils and city councils in Cameroon at the centre of development and the achievement of the millennium development Goals (mdGs) at the local level. Feicom focuses its action on this line and has become the pioneer in financing and technical support to councils. It has been carrying out this mission since 1977; that is 35 years.
in recognition of its support to municipalities in Cameroon for the achievement of the millennium development Goals, Feicom is winner of “habitat Scroll of honor” for the year 2012, the most prestigious award given by the United nations human Settlements Programme, Un-haBiTaT. The distinction was handed to the General manager of feicom, on 6 September 2012, on the occasion of the World Urban forum in Naples, Italy. Furthermore, feicom is certified iSo 9001/2008 since december
2009, in the areas of studies, advisory assistance to local councilors, the mobilization of resources, designing, financing and follow-up of local development projects.

  • Cameroon: An Essential Function Too!,

    2015/08/14 In fact, it is the sole document on which we rely to determine who is a Cameroonian and who is not. The notion of being each others' keeper could have enabled us to rely solely on the fact that a good neighbour could come forward to attest to the nationality of any Cameroonian, based on ethnic group, place of birth or any other data that can attest to same. But the legislator has gone even further in the exercise by putting in place other measures all meant to ensure the durability and certainty of the Cameroonian nationality, particularly in a context where it is easy - for a lot of reasons - to select whatever nationality is convenient for anyone in a world which is becoming additional and additional world and, even globalised. To the extent that even nationality or belonging to one country exclusively is seen today as being too limitative in ambitions to contributing to world evolution.
