Trained the professional Staffs of Elections Cameroon on electoral observations methods in preparation
of the first election of the regional counselors of the 6th December 2020 in Cameroon;
• Directed participants to supplementary resources and reference materials.
• Led discussions and Training.
• Listened effectively.
. • Helped participants link the training to their jobs.
Accomplishments: I was the first external consultant recruited from outside ELECAM in a context where
they tend to train their staff themselves, in order to prepare the staff for this very inaugural type of
election in Cameroon. I was proud to be chosen and to have opened the doors and trust for others
consultants.
