On Tuesday August 11th 2026, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development office and the Cameroon Chevening Alumni Association (CAMCHEV) signed an accountable grant agreement at the residence of the British High Commissioner in Cameroon.
Acting on behalf of the two entities, H.E Matts Wood, British High Commissioner to Cameroon and Barrister Olivia Mah Tamon, President of the Cameroon Chevening Alumni Association, the two officials signed this agreement in view of the implementation of the project titled : “Strengthening Cancer screening and awareness in Cameroon”, conceived and initiated by Dr Mbako Robinson Ateh, a 2022 Chevening Alumnus.
In the coming months, CAMCHEV will implement this project in two selected regions of Cameroon (Maroua in the Far North region and Bamenda in the North West region) personnel in the medical field, media professionals and community actors in these regions will engage in physical and media sensitization, screening and support to persons suffering from this deadly disease in the two regions with prospects of extending it to the other regions in the future. This is part of the given back concept adopted by Cheveners after their studies in the UK.
