Good morning.

It is a privilege to stand before you today as a Non-Executive Member of SayPro, on this special occasion — SayProCMR SayPro 2025 Digital Day. Today marks more than just a milestone in our calendar. It is a powerful symbol of what is possible when innovation, inclusion, and purpose come together.

Our Role as Non-Executive Members

As Non-Executive Members, our role is not to manage day-to-day operations, but to provide guidance, oversight, and strategic direction. We are the voice that keeps the mission focused and the impact accountable. We ensure that SayPro’s initiatives are built on solid governance and driven by values that put people first.

And what we’ve seen in SayProCMR this year — is nothing short of transformation.

Celebrating Our Progress in 2025

In 2025, SayProCMR has expanded its digital footprint across communities in Cameroon. We’ve seen:

• Thousands of youth trained in tech, coding, and entrepreneurship.
• Women-led digital enterprises supported through micro-mentorship and mobile platforms.
• Cultural and traditional leaders embracing digital tools to enhance their roles in governance and education.
• Rural communities gaining their first access to digital literacy and online opportunity.

This is not just digital transformation — it is people-centered progress.

Governance, Accountability, and Community Impact

As someone who represents the governance arm of SayPro, I can confidently say that every investment, every initiative, and every innovation is built with integrity. The leadership team values transparency, ethical stewardship of resources, and active involvement from the communities we serve.

We don’t just launch programs — we measure impact, listen to feedback, and adjust to ensure that no one is left behind.

Looking Ahead: A Call to Unity and Purpose

As we look toward the future, our work is far from done.

We must:

• Strengthen partnerships that empower local solutions.
• Ensure that rural and marginalised voices continue to shape our programs.
• Keep SayPro true to its roots: grounded in community, driven by innovation, and accountable to people.
