The increase in the rate of urbanization is exponential. The growth of the urban population has increased from 9.8% in 1950 to 57% today. The authorities plan to contain this growth to 60% in 2020. The prospects announce a rate of urbanization of 75% as in the developed countries.

Statistics show that there is an upward trend in waste collection by HYSACAM in Yaoundé. However, there is an acceleration from 2008 that may be due to an increase in the collection of the company or the emergency management of waste not collected (only 30 to 40% of waste produced per day are evacuated in Yaoundé the rest being abandoned in nature).

The table presents the evolution of accident statistics for the inter-urban road network from 2000 to 2010. The number of accidents is changing. On the other hand, the evolution of those killed and wounded remains stable in gravity. This situation challenges the public authorities in terms of road safety.

Reflection

Conception

The adventure is dedicated to data, it's a passion. Passion because we are convinced that the mastery of urban data can bring to the chaotic management of cities, the overall vision and transversality that are currently lacking. The data will bring innovation, transparency and economy.

Our values

Collaborative work makes the best use of all available skills and best practices. By networking and cooperating, urban actors can co-produce the city and improve the living conditions of the population.

Research

The data is there, exploded in monolithic urban information systems and therefore difficult to access. Our ambition is to capitalize knowledge on the urban environment through a collaborative data management platform to help different urban stakeholders to meet the growing challenges in data (control, exploitation, analysis, interpretation, opening, sharing, reuse, heterogeneity, quality, volume, etc.) and to develop an in-depth knowledge of the sector, allowing a common and transversal vision of urban development.

questioning

Issues related to the « urban crisis » in developing countries, particularly Cameroon, are not new. They challenge all actors involved in urban management and planning, whether public or private.

  • How to prevent current and potential urban actors from doing the same thing, to seek to collect information that exists elsewhere?
  • How to value urban data?
  • Conception
  • How to make better use of urban information heritage in the digital age?
  • How to accelerate, move the lines of strategic plans and redefine the obligations of different urban actors to combat the current disorder?
  • How to better plan urban development and disseminate new development standards to better organize cities?
  • How to conduct urban projects of quality, at the best costs by meeting the needs of the inhabitants?
  • How can cities benefit from the urbanization process to strengthen development and contribute more to the national economy?

Témoignages

C.L.W – Yaoundé 27/04/2021

The book "Urban development and planning in Cameroon: from urbanization in the proper sense to the urbanization of information systems" by Prof. Adolphe Ayissi Eteme is a monumental production from the point of view of volume and innovative, in terms of the theme: aggregation and management of data for the advent of smart cities. We are delighted that your expertise offers software solutions for the correct handling of the challenges of rampant urbanization and the demographic explosion which is both the cause and the consequence. I wish this work a good career, since urban development and the digital economy are, conveniently, at the heart of the national agenda.

YAOUNDE - 30/11/2020 

YUSIIP is an innovative solution that makes it possible to use the openness of data as a lever for sharing information to enhance a territory.
