Mile 19 Community

4th Leadership Retreat Follow-up Meeting

Tuesday to Friday, November 18-21, 2008

The Challenge

"Can trends of poverty be arrested and reversed? Yes, expeditiously and continually in Cameroon. The country is not only resource rich. Its culture is responsive and dynamic as the Mile 19 example shows. Citizen rights and freedoms depend on the quality of governance, and not just the state. Citizens own the state, and it falls to each and every citizen to help sort the state out when it is failing in its duties. But people must get the facts right, and cannot do so with corruption. Engaging one another in genuine dialogues help people to face facts, and free themselves from corruption. The Mile 19 example also shows how it is possible for communities and countries to do more than achieve Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The development process drive is not only local. Its governance is also effective in learning." (D.M. Mbwoge, Director of EITD Research, in "Transforming Citizen-Leadership Engagement, Governance Institutions and Development in Communities or Quarters - The Example of Mile 19 in Cameroon" presented at the Fifth Pan-Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning [PCF5] in London, July 2008). 

Mile 19 Community Leadership Retreat Follow-up Meetings serve to increase understanding of the very important role citizen-leadership dynamics play in freeing society from corruption in democratic governance and economic development. They also provide unique opportunity to discuss some of the most pressing issues facing communities, and the world, today. Participants experience the thriving democratic governance in Mile 19. The community is freeing itself transparently from corruption in its governance and economic development.

Who Can Participate? All who desire to improve political and economic development in their communities or country. Mile 19 Community Leadership Retreat Follow-up Meetings are designed to welcome your interventions, and help the community have needed continuing oversights in its progress.
