UNICEF CAMEROON had developed CPD which had been entering into force at the beginning of 2022. The CPD process is an opportunity for UNICEF to review its Programme and refine its priorities. This year, UNICEF Cameroon plans to organize a retreat to further enhance staff development in team building, providing them with the tools and skills to adapt to changes and respond effectively to the challenges of creating an effective and efficient team. The retreat will also be an opportunity for the office to take a step back to reflect on the challenges faced by staff to build an effective and efficient team as well as discuss the best ways to ensure staff’s participation and cooperation in change-processes based on the results of PULSE SURVEY/GSS 2022.
