“Puissance 237,” launched by Dr. Guy Gweth, head of the African Center for Competitive Intelligence (ACCI), aims to equip Cameroon with a continental power strategy from 2025 to 2050. The publication of the dedicated White Paper on 30 January 2025, is generating significant interest and promises to redefine Cameroon’s trajectory on the African stage. In this context of renaissance, profiles such as that of Dr. Aminatou appear as valuable assets for the realization of this national objective.
Based on a clear observation of the limitations of economic projects between African and European municipalities, Dr. Aminatou founded and chairs the Alliance of Committed Municipalities and Territories. This association embodies an innovative approach to diplomacy and decentralized economic cooperation, placing job creation at the heart of its action. In perfect alignment with SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), it forges partnerships between local authorities, the private sector, universities, and civil society, working concretely towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals on the ground. Her pragmatic approach, based on mutual respect, integrates international agreements, financial stakes, and environmental imperatives.
A recognized specialist in toxicological risk assessment, Dr. Aminatou possesses specialized expertise acquired in Cameroon and France. For over a decade, she has been assisting companies with regulatory and toxicological compliance for food and cosmetic products in Europe. Her role is crucial in strategic decisions regarding chemical risk management, ensuring the conformity of consumer goods and environmental protection, in accordance with current regulations. Her status as an accredited European Toxicologist Expert and her involvement in training public and private sector actors demonstrate her high level of expertise.
Beyond her technical expertise, Dr. Aminatou is a committed entrepreneur whose actions in France and Africa demonstrate a global vision integrating economic, technical, and environmental challenges. She strengthens the strategic capacities of local authorities and the private sector, facilitating the development and monitoring-evaluation of projects. Her ambition to improve the African private sector, which she considers an essential engine of growth for the continent, resonates particularly with the objectives of Puissance 237.
Her experience as a municipal elected official in France, where she works on subjects such as ecological transition, environmental health, and support for associations, gives her a keen understanding of territorial issues and the need for concerted action.
From the perspective of Puissance 237, Dr. Aminatou’s profile represents an undeniable asset. Her mastery of the challenges of decentralized cooperation, her expertise in regulatory compliance and risk management, as well as her commitment to the development of the African private sector, make her a key player in the realization of Cameroon’s continental ambition. Her ability to build bridges between territories, public and private actors, and environmental issues fits perfectly with the vision of a strong and influential Cameroon on the African stage. The commitment of personalities such as Dr. Aminatou is an encouraging sign for the future of the country and for the realization of Puissance 237.
