According to the Prime Minister, the coordinators are charged with the responsibility of elaborating the action plan, ensuring the transfer of resources to the implementing partners, reporting regularly to the Chairperson of the Steering Committee on the activities carried out in the field, as well as examining and validating budget, financial statements, activity, and management reports produced by the implementing partners of PPRD-NW/SW.
The appointment of these officials to champion the reconstruction process in the Northwest and Southwest Regions of Cameroon is coming five months after the holding of the Major National Dialogue that was meant to put an end to the economic, cultural and socio-political grievances of those in the Northwest and Southwest Regions.
It is equally coming at a time when most Cameroonians will prefer the Government to use its available resources to fight the spread of the COVID-19 into other regions, as well as to take care of confirmed and quarantined cases.
