A Strategic and Security Expertise Center offering concrete solutions to complex threats in the 21st century
For over a decade, the CAESS – Center for Strategic and International Security Analysis and Expertise has established itself as a leading intellectual and operational actor in the field of risk analysis, crisis management, and strategic foresight across Central Africa and beyond.
Founded with a clear vision — to place strategic thinking at the service of national and regional stability — CAESS operates at the crossroads of research, advisory services, training, publishing, and technical support, combining rigorous analysis with operational insight.
Our Mission: Producing Security Through Knowledge
In a global context marked by asymmetrical conflicts, fragile institutions, economic and digital vulnerabilities, climate pressure, and recurrent health crises, CAESS is committed to providing credible, data-driven, and locally adapted responses.
We don’t just describe problems. We deliver actionable, context-specific solutions designed for African realities and modern constraints.

Every intervention, publication, or training we offer is grounded in this integrated vision — with one core objective: to reduce vulnerability, prevent destabilization, and strengthen institutional and societal resilience.
A Track Record Built on Action, Dialogue, and Recognition
Founded in 2011, CAESS officially launched operations in 2014 and has since grown through a variety of impactful initiatives:
In 2015, CAESS organized two major strategic seminars in Yaoundé, bringing together policy-makers, experts, and field actors.
In 2016, CAESS was invited by H.E. Michael Sosa to a diplomatic reception related to defense cooperation. That same year, our President appeared on Africa 24 during the International Economic Conference “Invest in Cameroon.”
In 2017, the International War College of Yaoundé ordered several copies of our publication on Popular Defense in Cameroon, while CAESS presented a paper on local vigilance committees at the 12th Picard Conference in Tunisia.
In 2018, the CAESS Eco Project was presented during the 13th Picard Conference in Malatya, Turkey, exploring the link between strategic governance and economic resilience.
These milestones reflect our institutional credibility, thought leadership, and capacity for high-level contribution in both national and international arenas.
