In this episode, Mr Sam introduces our listeners to the Yaoundé Architecture Regional Information System (YARIS) platform. He shares success stories and explains how the system is designed to monitor future threats such as terrorism and undersea cable threats. Most importantly, he discussed the plans for regional handover and how this can be achieved. Additionally, he covers other information-sharing tools outside the region, such as MDAT-GoG and ICC/IMB, and how they can work better with the regional centres.
