NPMTI Cameroon · National cycle 2026–2027 · Douala · Yaoundé · Buea
Most institutions can describe their projects. Few can answer that question on evidence, to their own governing council, in a form the council can act on. NPMTI exists to produce that answer — and then to help you improve it.
Implementation governance
Decisions are recorded; follow-through is uneven.

Specimen only — not an institution's result
The four bands of the Project Leadership Index are absolute, never comparative.
Strategies, policies and priorities exist. Implementation falters where coordination, governance, monitoring and accountability are weak — and the cost of that is measured in delayed programmes, under-executed budgets and commitments that quietly do not land.
Every product on this page sits somewhere in one architecture. The architecture describes how the system works; each product is delivered through one or more of its layers.
The decision engine: agreed criteria, applied weights and a decision trace.
The institutional delivery intelligence system built on that engine.
The Country-level Project Leadership Index: capability measured against published criteria, and signals verified against evidence.
The masterclasses, pathways, roadmaps and assurance engagements that act on what is measured.
Capability confirmed on reassessment, and put to work on the institution's own portfolio.
Bands describe where an institution is. Recognition describes what it has demonstrated, independently validated, over time.
Participation is acknowledged, never recognized. The Founding Cohort sits outside this ladder.
The Project Leadership Index examines institutional delivery across ten dimensions. Your institution scores itself against each one; we structure the process and interpret the result with your leadership.
We publish the architecture and keep the calibration. Here is one of the ten dimensions as your delegates will meet it.
Implementation governance
Emerging
Decisions are taken, but they do not hold. The forum meets and the same item returns.
Structured
A governance calendar exists and is followed. Decisions are recorded; follow-through is uneven.
Integrated
Decisions are taken on comparable information, assigned to an owner, and tracked to closure.
Transformational
The institution reviews the quality of its own decisions and changes how it decides.
The remaining nine dimensions, the items behind each and the scoring logic are handed to your institution and kept permanently.
Three days, from the team's CPLI self-assessment to a team action plan. First cohort: Douala, 17–19 March 2027 (see the 2027 calendar).
The Executive Delivery & Transformation Masterclass runs over three days, after a one-day Delivery Forum in the same city. One cohort each quarter, alternating between Douala and Yaoundé; when a cohort is full, a second one opens in the other city. Venues are announced with registration.

Masterclass fees are per delegate, Pathway fees per executive, and baseline and programme fees per institution. Published fees are list fees and are not discounted or negotiated; scope, phasing and payment schedule may be agreed in writing. Founding-cycle fees apply to engagements authorized in writing by 15 December 2026 at 23:59 WAT. NPMTI does not offer credential preparation on its own, administers no examination, determines no eligibility and guarantees no examination result. PMI examination fees are paid directly to PMI and are not included. PMP, PgMP, PfMP and PMI-PMOCP are marks of Project Management Institute, Inc.
The Founding Cohort is the set of institutions that committed to the 2026 cycle before there was a track record to judge. It is an acknowledgement of participation, never a recognition, and it confers no band.
Fees for institutional assessment and assurance are set in proportion to the institution's size and complexity, and confirmed in writing at scoping. The criteria never change.
Open — the CPLI Snapshot is free and the instrument is published. No institution is excluded from the method.
Proportionate — the fee reflects the institution, never the result.
Sponsored — a bank or development partner funds baselines for institutions that cannot fund their own, and is named only as funder.
Commissioned — a ministry, regulator or development partner commissions assessment across a system; the institutions assessed pay nothing.
Size and complexity determine the fee. They never determine the assessment, the criteria, the band awarded, or the order in which institutions are served.
For institutions whose portfolio, exposure or supervision calls for more than a diagnostic. Assurance is priced against the value independently validated, not against days worked.
The whole institution's delivery system across all units and the portfolio, evidence-tested, with a twelve-month Institutional Delivery Improvement Roadmap.

The capabilities below are being built now and open during 2027. We publish them so partners can see the full system, not only what is available today. Dates are targets, not commitments.

From 2027
The State of Institutional Delivery Capability in Cameroon is presented at the Summit on 17–18 February 2027. It reports aggregated findings only; no institution is identified without its written authorization.
These are published because they are the reason an assessment is worth anything. They constrain us, deliberately.
01
Bands are absolute and earned against published criteria. No league table is produced. Your result is not compared to another institution's, and is never published without your specific written authorization.
02
An assessor who validates an institution's assessment takes no commission on, and performs no paid remediation for, that institution for at least twelve months. Work within the cohort is institutional self-assessment and confers no recognition.
03
You keep the instrument, your responses and the scoring logic, permanently. Run it again next year without us if you choose. Nothing you receive depends on our continued existence.
04
This is a founding cohort. We are not going to show you client logos we do not have or results we have not measured. Recognition cannot be purchased, and sponsorship never influences an assessment outcome.
Paraklete Consulting Inc. SARL, as the current legal host and administrative operator of NPMTI Cameroon. RCCM RC/DLA/2018/B/3809 · NIU M101812727420A. NPMTI is being established as a standalone entity; institutions will be informed in writing when that transition takes effect.
No. NPMTI is an independent initiative with no public mandate and no delegated authority. Our alignment with national development priorities describes relevance, not permission.
This is the founding cohort. We will show you the instrument, the criteria and the limits we publish on ourselves, and let you judge those directly rather than asking you to judge a client list.
The architecture is published — the ten dimensions, the four bands, the criteria and the boundaries we place on ourselves. Judge those before committing to anything. Your institution scores itself against them, and keeps the instrument and its scoring logic permanently, so it can run the exercise again next year without us.
Everything your institution receives: the leadership baseline report, the briefing pack for your governing body, the Leadership 90-Day Roadmap, and the instrument with its scoring logic. Nothing you receive depends on our continued existence.
The Masterclass runs over three days, after a one-day Forum in the same city.
No. NPMTI issues no professional certification and confers no regulatory or accreditation status. Recognition within NPMTI is earned against published criteria and is not an accreditation. The Executive Transformation Pathways include preparation for a professional credential in the framework your institution uses — currently PMI. The credential itself is awarded only by the credentialing body, on its own examination.
Because credential preparation is one of seven components. A Pathway is built around your institution: an applied transformation project on your own portfolio, executive coaching through the ninety days where improvement either happens or does not, and an independent Delivery Expert assessment. The fee for the whole pathway is below the value of its components taken separately. NPMTI does not offer credential preparation on its own.
NPMTI Africa opens further country programmes from 2027. Tell us where your institution is, and we will write when a programme opens there.
A briefing takes thirty minutes and covers your institution's delivery context, the Douala cohort, and what your delegates would leave holding. There is no obligation to proceed.
