Yango Group, a mobility sector player in Cameroon for over four years, is adjusting its strategy by appointing Elodie Filopon as Public Policy Manager for Francophone Africa, including Cameroon. This appointment follows the end of the consulting collaboration with Awana Ateba Michel, which began in 2023 and concluded in 2024.
The collaboration with Mr. Awana Ateba Michel, through ENANGUE HOLDING SARL, focused on administrative coordination issues. Yango Group emphasizes that this collaboration was limited in time and scope, falling within the framework of a one-time consulting service. The company made a point of expressing its gratitude for the support provided during this period.
As part of its ongoing development, Yango Group has appointed Elodie Filopon, Public Policy Manager for Francophone Africa, to lead public affairs and government relations in the region, including Cameroon. As a full-time member of the Yango Group team, she brings extensive experience and a solid understanding of the regulatory environment and public policies across Francophone Africa.
In Cameroon, institutional and regulatory matters can also be handled by Dr. Clovis Pilla, Country Manager of Yango in Cameroon. Stakeholders, partners, and media representatives are invited to contact Ms. Elodie Filopon or Dr. Clovis Pilla for any official interaction or communication involving Yango Group in Cameroon.
Yango Group, which launched its operations in Cameroon in 2021, reaffirms its commitment to maintaining transparent and constructive relationships with public institutions and its partners in the country and throughout Africa. The company operates in more than 30 countries and offers services such as ride-hailing, food and parcel delivery, and fintech solutions. In 2025, Yango expanded its operations to Bafoussam, demonstrating its commitment to improving urban mobility in the country. Yango has created over 6,000 direct and indirect jobs in Cameroon.
In January 2026, Yango Cameroon held a ceremony to honor its top-performing drivers and fleet partners, highlighting the importance of human capital in the company's success. Dr. Pilla emphasized that Yango's model in Cameroon is based on partnerships rather than direct transport operations.
Yango continues to invest in the development of its mobility ecosystem in Cameroon, focusing on improving its platform, expanding its fleet, and strengthening driver training.
