Bilingualism and Multiculturalism:Commission on the offensive

The National Commission for the Promotion of Bilingualism and Multiculturalism (NCPBM) is stepping up efforts to promote bilingualism in #Cameroon.

The state organ is at #SAGO2026 to enforce section 4 of Law no 2019/19 of 24 December 2019 on the promotion of the official languages in Cameroon.

The law states that, « The state shall encourage the promotion of official languages in private entities, employers’ and Labour organizations, civil society organizations and voluntary agencies ».

In keeping with this law, staff of the commission at SAGO are engaging with visitors on their role in promoting social cohesion, fighting hate speech and xenophobia, and the use of the official languages.

From June 6 to 13, the NCPBM will continue public sensitization at the interactive exhibition stand, combat hate speech and xenophobia and distribute brochures on the NCPBM’s missions.
