Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to come up with a critical analysis of the impact of presidential decree no 2020/11 of the 02<sup>nd</sup> March 2020 dedicated to the establishment of NASLA (National School on Local Administration) on the training of local public administration staff in Cameroon. This is done through a specific focus on the improvements of local public administration staff training as carried out by this decree whose main target aims at addressing the new challenges pouring over Cameroon’s politics as far as the form of the state is concerned. As Cameroon strong central state pattern seems for ever to give up under irreversible and sounding growing calls for federalism or decentralization patterns, Cameroon’s authorities during the two last decades have been forced to look for a specific school devoted to the forthcoming necessary bulkier local administration staff this revolution is calling for. Therefore, based on a diachronic paradigm which insists on the historical and feverish political background prior to the advent of NASLA, this article depicts the various and concrete improvements, in terms of university requirement, local councils needs and so on, carried out by decree no 2020/11 of the 02<sup>nd</sup> March 2020 dedicated to the establishment of NASLA (National School of Local Administration) before addressing the issue of the interactions between NASLA future curricula and the Cameroon multicultural diversity as well as the necessity of a peculiar local public administration theory.
Highlights
It has been noticed by many observers and public administration theorists that local public administration through the concept of local governments plays an important role in the expansion of “direct democracy” [1]
Such a broad statement could be assessed through the analysis of the various levels of local governments both in mother countries where this concept was firstly implemented (Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom, France, ...) as well as in the new laboratories of “decentralization”, “regionalization” or “intercommunal bodies”, new concepts arising within the history of local “direct democracy” or its equivalent “self government” [1, 2, 3] In such a wake, whereas it takes place through “monistic local systems”” [1] (UK) or “dualistic local systems” ” [1], 1, paving the way for a bright local administration requires before all talented, abundant, diversified and well trained human resources to take place, while being at the same time a precondition for shining local public policies
To promote efficient local development in Cameroon, a decree was signed on the 20th of March 2020 so as to come up with a technical pedagogical and academic design for a National School for Public Administration of Cameroon (NASLA), the new outlet aiming at filling the gap
Summary
It has been noticed by many observers and public administration theorists that local public administration through the concept of local governments plays an important role in the expansion of “direct democracy” [1]. To promote efficient local development in Cameroon, a decree was signed on the 20th of March 2020 so as to come up with a technical pedagogical and academic design for a National School for Public Administration of Cameroon (NASLA), the new outlet aiming at filling the gap. To come up with this analysis of decree n° 2020/111 of 02nd March 2020 on the establishment, organization and functioning of the National School of Local Administration (NASLA), we had to rely on a juridical analysis of the concerned decree as well as on previous research papers carried out by previous social scientists emanating from Law or public administration theory written on topics similar to ours. To understand the context surrounding the creation of this NASLA in Cameroon, one may be firstly remembered the background of local public administration in Cameroon
