Sharing the white paper of Gicam

The Gicam thus shares its vision with the intelligentsia. Célestin Tawamba, the president of Gicam explains, "We define an economic model. It is the choice that must give rise to criticism. That's why we came to the world of criticism. Because academic critics have the capacity to test models. We hope that these economic models, these proposals, will be the subject of discussions so that we can co-construct our country while improving the dialogue between the State, the private sector and the academics. This is an integral part of the reflection. We cannot talk about reflections without talking about the academic world. That is why we started this process of sharing this white paper, sharing our vision of the economy with the University of Dschang which has a strong entrepreneurial vocation.
