The National Home of Speaking in Cameroon

Who We Are

The Cameroon National Speakers Association (CANASA) is the national professional home for the speaking industry in Cameroon. CANASA exists to develop world-class Cameroonian speakers, leaders, and entrepreneurs — and the institutions that sustain them.

Our Mission

To build a national ecosystem for leadership development, public speaking, professional training, youth empowerment, and entrepreneurship — through education, mentorship, and international collaboration.

Founder & Technical Advisor

Oliver Nshom — professional speaker of 17+ years and founder of Tolkz Global, Oliver has spoken on stages across Africa, the United States, Europe and Asia, and coaches emerging leaders across Africa and beyond. He founded CANASA to give Cameroonian speakers what he had to build the hard way: a professional home, a standard to grow toward, and a stage.

Partnerships

CANASA welcomes international partnerships that transfer knowledge, strengthen governance and organizational systems, and create opportunities for young Cameroonians — including professional exchange programs, training collaborations, and reciprocal leadership visits.
