00:309e session depuis ce matin à Yaoundé, placé sous le haut patronage du Président de la
00:34République.
00:35Les participants examinent les opportunités d'investissement et la question du financement
00:40de l'industrie pétrolière et gazière, éco dans les 12 heures.
00:44Fin des tarifs préférentiels sur les compteurs prépayés dès le 1er novembre 2024, pas
00:53d'augmentation en vue selon Arcel, juste quelques réajustements, situation confuse
00:57chez les clients, jusque-là, ce n'est pas le cas.
01:03D'autres, entre compteurs prépayés et postpayés, le 12 heures, interroge le choix des consommateurs.
01:10Et puis à découvrir en page magazine du 12 heures, les pas de danse de guerriers doyaux
01:15dans le département du Faro région du Nord, exécutés par des hommes d'un certain âge
01:20et spécialement après une bataille en signe de victoire.
01:24Rendez-vous pour la découverte, la découverte en fin de journal.
01:27Voilà pour les titres.
01:28La première partie, allez-vous pour la suivre.
01:30And certainly, Saint-Yves, and Nafo will be here as guest, but let's begin with members
01:35of the executive board of the African Petroleum Organization who are meeting in the 19th session
01:40in Yaoundé, this ahead of the 42nd or 46th ministerial session to discuss issues pertaining
01:47to energy transition, but equally energy funding needs.
01:51The board is at the same time reviewing the path covered in 2024.
01:56External relations minister Mbela Mbela is representing the executive director general
02:01of the National Hydrocarbons Corporation, Adolphe Moudiki, who is incumbent president
02:06of APO 2024.
02:09Economic Desk editor Clarice Aré Takang is at the heart of the event at the Hilton.
02:14Hello, Clarice.
02:22Well, good day to you in the studio and welcome to the 19th executive council meeting of the
02:27African Petroleum Producers Organization, APO or A-P-P-O, taking place here at the Yaoundé
02:33Hilton Hotel.
02:38Council of Ministers meeting of the organization, which will bring together representatives
02:42from the 18 member countries of the organization, and Cameroon is one of the founding members
02:47and equally hosting this event here in Cameroon.
02:50And they're going to be discussing pressing issues about the oil and gas industries of
02:55Africa, but specifically of their nations, because all of them are oil producing nations.
03:00And their main concern will be revolving around how to adapt their production or exploitation
03:05activities to climate change mitigation requirements and strategies globally.
03:10Why?
03:11Because there are more and more talks about significantly reducing the exploitation of
03:16fossil fuels, and we know APO member countries, most of them are heavily involved in the production
03:21of fossil fuels like crude oil.
03:23And it's very important because right now, international financial organizations are
03:28being reluctant or reticent to fund the exploitation of these fossil fuels, which climate enthusiasts
03:34and environmentalists decry the effect on the climate as being very damaging, being
03:40very destructive for livelihoods, but equally for the economy.
03:43And at this meeting, which is taking place at the Yaunui Hilton Hotel, Cameroon's Minister
03:48of External Relations, Belan Bela, is representing the Executive Director General of the National
03:53Hydrocarbons Co-Option, Adolphe Moudiki, who is plenipotentiary of the Republic of Cameroon
03:58and incumbent president of the African Petroleum Producers Organization, APO 2024.
04:04The opening address was done by His Excellency Omar Farouk Ibrahim, who is the Secretary
04:09General of APPO.
04:11And right now, they are behind closed doors, during which, as the program indicates, they
04:18are talking about a number of issues.
04:20They are reviewing progress reports, and those progress reports have to do with issues such
04:25as auditing, such as budgets, which, as we know, is going to play an important role in
04:31how they are going to continue the activities of the organization, not only in their respective
04:37nations, but in Africa and the world over.
04:41Prince William Mukwele, back to you in the studio.
04:44Thanks, Clarice.
04:45And let's stay in energy.
04:46Where the choice between postpaid and prepaid electricity matters, getting to be a preoccupation
04:53for consumers, each of the two options offers distinct advantages and disadvantages that
04:59influence user preferences.
05:01Our reporter Roland Yolanda Ekoto explores both systems for a better understanding of
05:08energy management.
05:09Hear her.
05:12It may be considered as old-fashioned, but many electricity subscribers say paying their
05:18bills after use gives them more convenience compared to the modern prepaid option.
05:25I do prefer the postpaid electricity matters because I receive the bill at the end of the
05:30month, and it's easier for me.
05:32My neighbor and I just gather the money and pay.
05:36In contrast, users of the modern system of electricity matters find satisfaction in the
05:43ability to control their own consumption.
06:01I don't receive a news agent at my place since I'm dealing with this prepaid electricity
06:07method.
06:08No huge bill anymore.
06:10I control it perfectly.
06:13The choice between postpaid and prepaid matters largely depends on individual needs and preferences.
06:20While some prioritize the simplicity of postpaid systems, others value the control offered
06:27by prepaid options.
06:31Health experts, lawmakers, and stakeholders of the African Medicines Regulatory have been
06:37urged to boost the fight against substandard and falsified medicines in Africa.
06:42The call has been made at the opening of the 4th AMRH Conclave in Maputo, Mozambique.
06:52Our reporter Annabella Tabinto is live to Maputo.
06:56Hello, Annabella.
06:57Good afternoon.
06:59Hello to you in the studio and thanks for joining us here at the 4th African Medicines
07:04Regulatory Harmonization Week taking place in Maputo, Mozambique, where health experts
07:10in the continent and across the world are currently convening.
07:14We have here the Minister of Health from Mozambique, the head of the African Medicines Regulatory
07:21Harmonization.
07:22Among other health stakeholders in the continent's focus here is on medical product regulation,
07:31the efforts made in fighting substandard and falsified medical products in the continent
07:38before this opening ceremony.
07:41Health experts and lawmakers met in different technical committees to discuss the ways in
07:49which they can improve the work and the implementation of the decisions made by the African Medicines
07:59Regulatory Harmonization and they've been also discussing how Africa can have access
08:09to vaccines in the case of a health crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic.
08:17And now we are talking about in talks.
08:19And the Harmonization Week is held every two years and this is the 15th edition, like you
08:25said.
08:26Reporting from Mozambique, I am Annabella Tabi.
08:31Thank you, Annabella Tabi.
08:34Ladies and gentlemen, the following of the newspaper.
08:36Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, is at the center of strategic discussions for the African
08:42oil sector.
08:43We are at the reception of the statutory meetings of the Organization of African Oil Producers
08:48in Pau.
08:49This meeting brings together the experts ministers and representatives of the member countries,
08:54all gathered in the framework of the 19th Ordinary Meeting of the Executive Council, which is
08:59held at the moment, as you can see in the picture, at the Hilton Hotel.
09:03Pau has 18 members today and according to the information of this organization, these countries
09:10have produced an average of 9.92 million barrels per day in 2017, i.e. more than 99% of the
09:18total production of Africa.
09:20It is therefore a question for the participants to address current issues, such as the adoption
09:27of new global energy trends and the diversification of their economies, still largely dependent
09:35on oil recipes.
09:38We will provide you with more details on this topic in our next edition of information.
09:43It is time for us to talk about border governance at the center of a workshop of reflection
09:48at Yaoundé, at the initiative of the Ministry of Domains, Cadastre and Border Affairs.
09:53With the support of the FAO and the German cooperation, the actors together share their
10:00experiences in the context of developing a national border policy.
10:04Minister Henri Ayébé here coordinates the work.
10:07Details with Christelle Beyina-Komoloni.
10:13A more responsible, inclusive and sustainable border governance in Cameroon.
10:18The reform of the legal framework is under way.
10:21The master of works, President Paul Biya, has instructed it since 2011.
10:26On this vast site, the Ministry of Domains demolishes the constraints and traces of action
10:33solutions to conflicts related to transhumanity, transborder.
10:37We are working on a participatory approach to draft a border reform, thus allowing
10:46to manage resources in a perspective of sustainable development.
10:52Local experts on the border and civil society are working together with development partners.
10:59Preservation of land and food security for primates, the common vision of the border
11:05policy in Cameroon integrates the securitization of rights, but more of individuals.
11:11The FAO accompanies the country that wishes to improve border governance through
11:16inclusive border reforms at the technical level, but also at the level of capacity
11:21reinforcement and partnership.
11:23The recommendations formulated at the end of these works will have to lead to the
11:28good implementation of the new legislation.
11:31Also on the discussion table, the week of the funder in sight.
11:37Digitalization of lawyers' offices in Cameroon.
11:41The outline of the subject was mentioned during a conference in Yaoundé, organized
11:46by the NGO Law without Humanitarian Borders of Cameroon.
11:50What needs to be known about it with Nicole Doudou.
11:59No more waste of time in the management of files within lawyers' offices in Cameroon.
12:04The digital platform, CJK, is offered to men in black clothes during a conference in
12:10Yaoundé, after the steps of Douala and Bafousam.
12:14A real technological revolution that guarantees fluidity and speed in the communication
12:20between lawyers and their clients, data security and load reduction.
12:26The world is more digital now than paper.
12:30So we wanted to bring this experience to the conference because we have been
12:34experiencing it for more than four months already.
12:36And we have seen what performance we have had in our office and the facilitation of
12:41the management of the office and the easy contact with the clients as well as the
12:46audience count.
12:47A mobile office for each lawyer.
12:49Facilitate work.
12:51Manage the office instantly with the clients.
12:56That's the value.
12:57Through a practical case, the demonstration of the use of the platform by the experts
13:03allowed the lawyers in the Cameroonian Barreaux, present in the room, to share their
13:09concerns about this professional digital offer.
13:12The other international applications with cybercrime, it bothered us.
13:17As it is a local application, the experts reassure us that we will not have this problem
13:23of cybercrime because the law firms are restricted to professional secrecy.
13:28A massive adhesion of law firms to the CJK platform remains expected at the end of
13:35these works in Yaoundé.
13:38Generating innovative ideas to foster regional integration in Central Africa constitutes
13:44a point of convergence at the two-day colloquium at the University of Yaoundé II,
13:49opened yesterday by the Minister of State.
13:51Minister of Higher Education, Professor Jacques Famendongo.
13:55Ongoing discussions are being fed by the role free movement of people and goods plays in
14:00the economy of the region.
14:02Details in the following report by Romieu Nkenye.
14:07Eleven countries of the economic community of Central African states bend on making integration
14:12a reality and not a myth.
14:14But the process has been tampered with security and economic crises, coupled with multiplicity
14:19of sub-regional institutions.
14:21Yet, an integration for the people and with the people, in line with legal frameworks,
14:26can boost industrialization, strengthening social and cultural links.
14:31We need to realize cross-border projects in order to have a more coordinated flow in the economy.
14:41At the opening of the two-day colloquium at Yaoundé II University, experts emphasize
14:45on constructive and innovative ideas.
14:48In a keynote address, the chairperson, Cameroon's Minister of State, Minister of Higher Education,
14:53Professor Jacques Famendongo, reiterates the indelible role played by heads of states of
14:59AECAS member countries in fostering regional integration and why one-time SEMA Commission
15:04President Jean Kwete believes smooth integration in AECAS solely depends on collective effort.
15:10The seminar, holding on the theme, consolidating achievement, removing constraints,
15:15seizing opportunities, ends this Wednesday.
15:19Our guest is here, I told you before.
15:21But before he comes on, young environmentalists from across Africa enriching their skills
15:27in drafting proposals for adaptation finance to address some of the challenges posed by climate change.
15:34This at the second edition of the Youth Forum on Adaptation Finance in Africa,
15:39which has brought together climate change advocates, civil society organizations,
15:43and international financial stakeholders, including the European Union.
15:47The session was chaired by Professor Bathlemy Ndongo, Inspector General in the Ministry of the Environment.
15:54Here is Larry's nane epote with the details.
15:59Reports indicate that global climate adaptation finance for the years 2019 to 2020 amounted to $632 billion.
16:09However, only $42 billion was allocated specifically to climate adaptation,
16:15with an additional $15 billion designated for dual purposes.
16:20Experts argue that these figures fall short of meeting global adaptation needs.
16:25Assessing these funds remains a significant challenge for developing countries like Cameroon.
16:30This Forum on Adaptation Finance in Africa aims to train youths on how to develop well-structured projects
16:37that are suitable for international financing.
16:40To access international funds, there are a number of standards that you have to go through.
16:46Meaning you have to demonstrate that you can manage money, but you can manage international resources.
16:50Cameroon continues to face the impacts of climate change,
16:54with recent flooding affecting the northern regions, the western order areas, in need of climate adaptation funding.
17:01This presents an opportunity for youths to develop projects that can secure their available financing for adaptation efforts.
17:08You have already some funds available in the Green Fund.
17:13It is very important for us to support this national capacity building.
17:18By equipping the next generation with knowledge and tools to secure adaptation funding,
17:23this forum not only addresses current needs,
17:26but also lays the groundwork for a more resilient future in the face of global climate challenges.
17:33Senye Nafo, coordinator of the African Adaptation Initiative,
17:38spokesperson for the African Group of Negotiators.
17:42He sits on the Green Climate Fund Board, re-elected to serve as co-chair for 2025.
17:48Welcome to the CRTV.
17:50Thank you for having me.
17:51We just watched you on that report on the forum that is ongoing in Nyaounde.
17:55I'm going to ask this question.
17:57Africa is the lesser producer of carbon dioxide that influences climate change.
18:02Africa is the brunt bearer of the consequences of climate change,
18:07yet Africa is seemingly at the forefront of mobilizing funds.
18:11That sounds like a paradox.
18:13Well, I call it a triple tragedy.
18:16Here is a crisis that we've not created.
18:18As you've said, we represent less than 5% of greenhouse gas emission.
18:22Unfortunately, because Africa is geographically positioned where it is positioned,
18:27it warms one times and a half faster than the rest of the world.
18:31And even if we wanted to solve this problem on our own,
18:34we couldn't because the large majority of emissions are out of our continent.
18:39But adapting to the impact of climate change...
