STRATEGIC RETREAT 2026 : CCA-Bank Strengthens Governance and Showcases International Ambitions

(LVDE) — From January 14 to 16, 2026, CCA-BANK held its 2026 Strategic Retreat at the Tagidor Hotel in Bangou, in the Western Region of Cameroon. Coordinated by the Executive Management, this governance meeting brought together more than 150 participants, underscoring the importance of high-level dialogue, managerial cohesion, and alignment of institutional priorities.

A leading banking player, ranked among the top five banks in Cameroon, CCA-BANK operates in a rapidly evolving financial environment. Within this context, 2026 marks a pivotal year, driven by ambitions of consolidation, enhanced performance, and gradual international expansion, while keeping the client at the center of all concerns. The strategic retreat thus served as a framework for evaluation, anticipation, and forward planning.

Strategic governance guided by a clear vision

The sessions were led under the authority of the CEO, Ms. Alvine TIWODA, whose strategic vision directed all discussions. Over three days, the bank’s divisions and departments reviewed their performance, analyzed risks and opportunities, and defined their strategic priorities for 2026.

Structured and results-oriented exchanges ensured optimal alignment between operational objectives and the bank’s overall strategy. By the end of the retreat, a consolidated roadmap, supported by clear performance indicators, was approved by the Head Office for phased implementation.

Human capital, the engine of institutional performance

During the retreat, CCA-BANK reaffirmed that the development of human capital is central to its sustainable growth strategy. Top management highlighted key initiatives in working conditions, operational tools, and skills development. Discussions also covered internal governance principles, managerial discipline, professional ethics, a culture of measurable performance, and the enhancement of customer experience — all essential foundations for strengthening the bank’s presence in a highly competitive financial sector.

Strengthening leadership and managerial cohesion

The retreat also featured sessions aimed at enhancing leadership and team cohesion through team-building activities. These sessions were led by the Academic Director of the holding, with support from the PANESS consulting firm. They enabled managers to refine best practices, optimize decision-making processes, and foster a corporate culture built on accountability, discipline, and cross-functional cooperation.

A cultivated expression of institutional identity

The closing gala, themed “Chic in African Attire,” reflected the bank’s institutional signature : “Finance at the Heart of African Traditions.” Beyond its festive aspect, the event highlighted the cultural identity and values of CCA-BANK, reinforcing internal cohesion and employee engagement.

Management mobilization and Head Office commitment

At the retreat, CEO Alvine TIWODA, accompanied by Deputy CEO Kaltoum Bawa, commended the teams’ commitment and emphasized the rigor, discipline, and performance expected for 2026. They reaffirmed the Executive Management’s pledge to support all entities in implementing strategic directives through close managerial oversight and continuous performance monitoring.
