Participation of the Andek Council Delegation in the National Master Class on the Management of the Local Tax Monitoring Unit (USFL)
Location & Date: NASLA Campus, Buea | October 28th – 29th, 2026
Organizers: NASLA, MINDDEVEL, and FEICOM
As part of ongoing efforts to boost financial autonomy and optimize local revenue collection across Regional and Local Authorities (RLAs) in Cameroon, a high-level Master Class was organized at the National School of Local Administration (NASLA) in Buea.
The Andek Council was officially represented by a high-powered delegation comprising:
-
Lord Mayor Ubangoh HELLY Manyelle Akoba (Head of Delegation)
-
Mr. Ambeiseh Christian (Head of the Local Tax Monitoring Unit – USFL)
2. Objectives of the Training
The overarching goal of the master class was to equip participants with modern methods, techniques, and tools needed to monitor the mobilization of State-collected and local tax revenues effectively. Key learning modules included:
-
Understanding the legal framework governing local taxation (including Law No. 2022/020 on Local Taxation and Decree No. 2023/314 on USFLs).
-
Planning, organizing, and digitalizing taxpayer census and data collection operations using tools like the Harmony Platform and SIGIC.
-
Designing local tax monitoring dashboards and managing operational tax risks (e.g., under-declaration, fraud, and avoidance).
-
Formulating structured monthly, quarterly, and annual performance reports.
3. Key Takeaways & Strategic Gains for Andek Council
The training successfully repositioned the USFL as the “financial brain” of the council. Through active participation, the Andek Council delegation developed a customized professional project and implementation roadmap for strengthening the council’s local tax monitoring unit.
Immediate Next Steps & Commitments by the Council:
-
Formalization: Official institutionalization of the USFL Andek via a Municipal Decision appointing its core members across the Treasury, Taxation, and Technical Services.
-
Logistics & Digitalization: Equipping the dedicated USFL office with a computer system configured for SIGIC and Harmony Platform access.
-
Tax Census: Launching a comprehensive census of economic operators within the Andek municipality from November 15th to December 15th, 2026.
-
Capacity Building (Restitution): Organizing a local restitution and briefing session for all 12 revenue collectors on November 7th, 2026, at the Andek Council Hall.
-
Reporting: Instituting regular monthly USFL dashboards and quarterly progress reporting to MINDDEVEL and FEICOM.
4. Conclusion
Armed with advanced technical expertise from the Buea Master Class, the Andek Council is strategically positioned to enhance transparency, plug revenue leakages, and significantly scale up its internal revenue generation for the 2027 financial year.
