We Work for Sustainable Peace
– Madam Telelen Dorothy Atabong epse Motaze

The Office of the Public Independent Conciliator, a complete novelty in public
administration specific to the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon,
came into existence in 2021, as a direct product of the Major National Dialogue.
For the South West Region, Madam Telelen Dorothy Atabong epse Motaze, an
erstwhile seasoned educationist, was appointed by President Paul Biya, to
pioneer at the helm of the office with exacting duties.
The editorial team of Africa Excellence Magazine led by the Editor-in-Chief, Mua
Paul Kum, set out to know from the peace broker and sustainer what her duties
consist in, the successes and challenges she has registered this far and how she
has been able to surmount the hurdles and her perception of the future
Excerpts:

It is about three years since you were appointed as Public Independent Conciliator (PIC) for the South West Region to serve as an Ombudsman be- tween service users and local authorities. Please can you tell us your work experience?
