I am Mrs Erica Manyor Agbor. I am an archivist consultant and I am also the CEO of Heaven Archives Consulting. Through out my career as an archivist, I have realised that so many organisations in Cameroon constantly face challenges to manage and preserve their archives due to poor records management programs. The inaccessibility of information has gradually become the order of the day.This has had a negative impact in the growth of these organisations and the development of Cameroon as a whole.
I have also observed the following:
- Most people do not know or understand what "records" are all about.
- The concept of records management is wrongly understood.
- The importance of records management in an organisation is underestimated.
- The consequences of bad records management programs are also underlooked.
Below are some vital information on records management.
