CNSC's achievements commended at the 3rd Tripartite Forum CAR-CHAD-CAMEROON.

The Cameroon National Shippers' Council (CNSC), whose General Manager, Auguste Mbappe Penda doubles as the Deputy Treasurer of the Cameroon Port Community (Port Synthèse), stood out amongst the participants at the Forum. Younouss Soungui, CNSC's Deputy General Manager, coordinated CNSC’s presentations which mainly focused on the acceleration of the construction of accommodation centres for road transport. An urgent move aimed at improving the security and safety of people and goods along Cameroon’s corridors.

During the opening ceremony of this event on 6 December 2021 in Bangui, a short documentary on Cameroon's actions along its corridors presented CNSC's impressive programme for the construction of foreign trade facilitation infrastructures in Cameroon. Participants were given a sneak peek at the already completed Dibamba trucker accommodation centre on the eastern exit of the city of Douala. The facility, operational since July 2019, is well secured and comprises a motel, a restaurant, a parking lot that can hold 200 trucks, a filling station and many other amenities.

The first phase of the Ngoulentang Trucker Accommodation Centre project, situated along the two main corridors linking Cameroon, CAR and Chad, has already been completed.  The rest rooms, a parking lot for 200 trucks and a number of other facilities are already in place. On the border with the Republic of Chad, is found the Kousseri Trucker Accommodation Centre, whose completion rate is estimated at 70%. It should also be noted that, since 2015, a secure area measuring more than 4 hectares has been allocated for the Kribi Trucker Accommodation Centre with a parking lot for over 50 trucks. In the Far North Region, precisely at Garoua-Boulaï, CNSC has acquired a 10-hectare plot of land for the construction of another accommodation centre in this border town between Cameroon and the Central African Republic (CAR).

As at the opening of this Forum, the closing ceremony was presided over by CAR's Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation in the presence of his Cameroonian counterpart, Mr. Jean Ernest Massena Ngalle Bibehe, Minister of Transport and the representative of the Chadian Minister in charge of Transport. Cameroon's Minister of Transport used the occasion to offer jerseys of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon to his CAR counterpart and to the head of the Chadian delegation, while inviting them to the next African Cup of Nations to be hosted by Cameroon in a few weeks.
