The Government of Cameroon has received a USD 100 million loan from the World Bank to implement the Cameroon Digital Transformation Acceleration Project (PATNUC). PATNUC is under the supervision of MINPOSTEL and aims to increase digital inclusion and the use of digital agricultural solutions by smallholder farmers in target agricultural value chains.
PATNUC is structured around 4 components: (i) Digital strategy, public policy and regulation for inclusion and digital transformation; (ii) digital connectivity and inclusion; (iii) facilitating the implementation of data-driven digital solutions in the agricultural sector ; and (iv) project management and citizen engagement . Thus, the government, through SND30, aims to truly initiate the structural transformation of the Cameroonian economy , which will be based on the modernization of the agricultural sector (agriculture, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture) through improving the productivity and competitiveness of family farms and promoting a dynamic of genuine industrialization. The modernization of the agricultural sector will have to rely on the constantly evolving digital ecosystem in the country, which is paving the way for the digital economy. The project, which has been in force since February 1, 2023, is thus entering its operational phase.
PATNUC activities are organized around four components: a) Component 1: Digital Strategy, Public Policy and Regulation; b) Component 2: Digital Connectivity; c) Component 3: Strengthening Disruptive Agricultural Technologies (DAT) for Agricultural Transformation; d) Component 4: Project Management and Citizen Engagement.
