As the ILO clocks one hundred years, celebrations chaired by Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute  was not just an opprtunity to review events that have marked the history of cooperation between Cameroon and the United Nations oldest specialised agencyto examine how far the country has conformed to the organisation's objectives to promote social justice, decent labour and sustainable peace. As reiterated by the Head of Government, the social vision of the Head of State during his seven year  term of great opportunities will be to strengthen the social security system and to work towards improving working and living conditions for all Cameroonians a vision which is in line with ILO goals with which the country longs for an even more dense, fruitful and mutually beneficial cooperation, even becoming more intensified for the promotion of decent work and social justice. As pointed out by the representatives of the employers association, the workers' union and the ILO, countries must equip themselves to understand and respond to the changes in the world of work and to give leadership in the global challenge of ensuring decent work for all womwn and men.
In this centenary year, emphasis should be laid first on capacity building of human resources. Increase of investments in Labour market institutions and increase in the investment on decent work.
