Our country is at crossroads. Our fast-growing population, the immense pool of our resources and the strategic issues of our century, require us to redefine our growth strategies. Given these challenges, we must also renew our political class.

Cameroon has been shaped by many influences on its military, political and economic plans. Today, we must build our country to come true to its own ambitions, and we must design Cameroon upon our own expectations and aspirations. This will of accomplishment engages the civic responsibility of 25 million indomitable Cameroonians. Each one of us must be able to project our values ​​and ideals into utilitarian and sustainable development models.

At the dawn of our third Republic, we realized the need of setting up a participatory platform for political involvement. This platform aims at gathering the energies, skills and creativity of the new generations. As such, we can commit to give ourselves the appropriate tools and opportunities to deeply transform our society for a better tomorrow.

#BuildTogether will be the place of collaboration around the strategic issues that influence our national life.

Our platform, above all, aims to bring to the plurality of opinions of our compatriots, the desire, strength and courage to dream of our common destiny ; Together!

We aspire to contribute to build a truthful and constructive debate within an uninhibited generation of Cameroonians, about the fundamental values ​​and ideological principles that must now be the foundation of our LIVING BETTER TOGETHER.

#BuildTogether will be mainly the evidence that our future relies on us. This future will be a merger of our decisions taken in Ngaoundere, Buea, Yaounde, Bafoussam, Ebolowa, Garoua, Douala, Bamenda, Bertoua and Maroua.

#BuildTogether is also a public platform for participatory citizenship. We aspire to a prosperous future for all, driven by the determination to rebuild an indomitable Cameroon!

#BuildTogether: Which Cameroon do we choose to bequeath to future generations?

Happy National Unity Day!
