Cameroon’s national
telecommunications operator, CAMTEL, and the National Association of Private
Institutions of Higher Education of Cameroon (ANIPES) have signed a Framework
Agreement aimed at accelerating the digital transformation and modernisation of
private higher education institutions across the country.
The agreement was signed on
Wednesday, September 2, 2026, during a ceremony held at CAMTEL’s headquarters,
bringing the operator’s connectivity infrastructure and technological expertise
closer to private higher education institutions.
Under the partnership,
private higher education institutions will have access to a range of digital
solutions designed to improve connectivity, information sharing, data security
and institutional efficiency.
The solutions include
reliable broadband connectivity to facilitate access to digital resources and
services, as well as campus interconnection to enable the secure and seamless
exchange of information between institutions.
The partnership will also
provide secure and sovereign data hosting services intended to strengthen the
protection and control of institutional data, alongside digital solutions
tailored to the operational needs of private higher education institutions.
CAMTEL Managing Director
Judith Yah Sunday epse Achidi stressed the importance of quality connectivity
for educational institutions, saying it is “necessary, even essential” to
enable university communities to improve the quality of teaching.
The agreement is intended to
support the modernisation of Cameroon’s private higher education sector by
providing institutions with technology and infrastructure capable of supporting
digital learning, administration and communication.
CAMTEL and ANIPES said the
partnership reflects a shared ambition to build a private higher education
system that is more connected, secure, efficient and focused on innovation.
