Cameroon’s minister of water and energy (Minee), Gaston Eloundou Essomba, announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the International Solar Alliance (ISA). The partners want to establish a Research Center for solar technologies and applications in Cameroon.
The agreement was signed on October 31 in New Delhi, India, on the sidelines of the ISA’s 6th General Assembly, of which the country is a member. Through this agreement, Minee confirms that Cameroon becomes one of the first countries to benefit from the ISA’s STAR-C program (Solar Technology Application Resource Center).
Launched in March 2018, this program aims to develop technical capacities and human skills in ISA member states to encourage significant energy transition activities, create jobs, and contribute to the country’s economic growth. In Cameroon, the STAR-C Center is expected to enhance capacities by providing technical training for civil servants, academics, technicians, engineers, and industrial associations.
