Bilingualism and Multiculturalism
The National Commission for the Promotion of Bilingualism and Multiculturalism was created in 2017 with Peter Mafany Musonge as head.
Their mission is to propose solutions to preserve peace, consolidate the unity of our country and strengthen our will and our daily practice of living together.
The preservation of social cohesion has been one of the pillars of President Paul Biya’s vision for Cameroon.
