PROFILE OF CAMEROON

Our team is made up of a diverse group of young vibrant Cameroonians from different higher institutions in the country ranging from state to private-owned institutions, youths who understand the challenges our community is facing and are creative in devising solutions to the challenges through collaborative work and networking with good project execution know how. Our team has a blend of individuals having the potentials to drive the SDGs to every university and community and are promoting youth leadership.

The team functions by adhering on the associations core values to meet the organizations objectives, the team’s model is impacting knowledge and creating more awareness of the SDGs and AU Agenda 2063, through mass sensitizations, talks, conferences, debates events.

  • Identify problems in the community,
  • Drive- by carrying out activities that bring sustainable development in and out of the university milieu.
  • network; keep close collaboration to monitor the effectiveness of activities carried out and to avoid duplication.

Our core values like that of the general organization as a whole are trust, conflict management, commitment, accountability and focusing on results.

  • Transparency- Committed in improving standards in our areas on intervention
  • Accountability: we are accountable to our collaborators, partners, our communities and ourselves
  • Sustainability: What we do is meant to last and the people we reach out to are meant to spread the knowledge

The team is committed in pushing forward the goals of the Agenda 2063 and the UCP SARnet Africa objectives as a whole.

Cameroon has a pool of committed youth organizations working towards archiving the SDGs and the Agenda 2063 they do this through community mobilization and sensitization, projects promoting youth health and rights, advocacy etc…. though these goals are interlinked or almost similar, the awareness creation on the general population is on the SDGs while little is known about the Agenda 2063.

As a result of these goals, more youths are involved and are active in promoting these goals especially in conflict areas, it has created income and empowering generating activities for these youths and it has been a path way to more opportunities. Youths now have a voice in their communities and can lead actions of change.

However, youth organizations face enormous challenges like limited funding- Funding bodies turn to fund more established organizations this has led these youths to compete for funding from limited donors as a result, this leads to limited collaboration amongst them. For those who manage to get these funding, activities are small scale, this plays a huge deal on sustainability of these actions.

Most of these organizations turn to have weak management system as its highly personalized, lack of a well-structured director’s system this further led to limited transparency and accountability, which these groups need capacity building to reinforce themselves in the push of these goals.
