Kribi 2076

Open the private participation space
Listen, understand, decide
A long-term vision.
Actions starting now.
The 2076 horizon opens the discussion. It will be translated into a five-year plan for 2027–2031 and then a priority action programme for 2027, with owners, timelines, resources and indicators. The process will inform municipal decisions; it is not yet an adopted plan.
Online and paper questionnaire
A common question set, accessible on mobile and interviewer-assisted for people with limited digital access.
Dialogue in each district
Neighbourhood and village meetings; exploratory walks and maps of challenges, resources and places to protect.
Focus groups
Small groups of 6–10 people, facilitated by a moderator, with some separate spaces to encourage candid contributions.
Businesses, institutions and diaspora
Targeted interviews and remote workshops: economic activity, skills, partnerships and potential contributions.
Foresight and prioritisation workshops
Compare alternative futures, then rank actions by usefulness, equity, feasibility and cost.
Public feedback and monitoring
Publish aggregate results, validate the synthesis and explain which proposals are accepted, deferred or not retained. Each priority will receive a reasoned council response and a follow-up update.
An open and inclusive consultation
Every voice.
Several ways to participate.
Residents of every district and village; women and young people; older people and people with disabilities; fishers, traders and informal workers; traditional authorities; associations; businesses and port stakeholders; public services, schools and researchers; diaspora. Adapted meetings and accessible materials are needed so the consultation does not only reach already visible groups.
The questionnaire will collect voluntary contributions: its results will not be presented as representative of the entire population. A separate survey sample may be designed with the city and a statistician, stratified by neighbourhood and audience. Diaspora responses will be analysed separately.
Kribi 2076 · private participation space
Your perspective on Kribi.
Choices for its future.
A mobile-friendly questionnaire, a map of Kribi, discussions with replies and an overview of aggregated results. Questions connect the 2076 vision, first actions as mayor, the 2027–2031 plan and priorities for 2027.
The space is currently restricted to the authorised owner. The questionnaire, discussions and results are not publicly accessible. Participant access will open only after explicit authorisation.
