An assembly is a group of members of an organization who meet periodically to make decisions about a specific area or scope of the organization.
Assemblies hold meetings, some are private and some are open. If they are open, it is possible to participate in them (for example: attending if the capacity allows it, adding points to the agenda, or commenting on the proposals and decisions taken by this organ).
Examples: A general assembly (which meets once a year to define the organisation's main lines of action as well as its executive bodies by vote), an equality advisory council (which meets every two months to make proposals on how to improve gender relations in the organisation), an evaluation commission (which meets every month to monitor a process) or a guarantee body (which collects incidents, abuses or proposals to improve decision-making procedures) are all examples of assemblies.
Tchilieu
Municipality of Bana
About this assembly
Tchilieu stands out for its agricultural excellence, being one of the main centres for coffee and food crop production in the municipality. The village is led by an influential and organised elite, which plays a key role in financing basic infrastructure (electrification, rural roads) and supporting local initiatives. Culturally speaking, Tchilieu is a stronghold of Bamiléké rituals, where ceremonies honouring notable figures and traditional dances are celebrated with a rigour that strengthens social cohesion. Its strength lies in the unbreakable bond between its sons in the diaspora and the traditional chiefdom, making the village a model of successful participatory development.
