AGIAMONDO Co-worker about their daily work and life in Cameroon
Cooperation with AGIAMONDO and CDJP
Responsible and challenging
The CPS country program in Cameroon promotes role models for non-violent conflict resolution and develops appropriate approaches to reduce existing tensions and create long-term peace. Partner organizations expand school curricula to include peace education and dispute resolution and support acute conflicts over land and resources at community level with dialogue and mediation. The aim is to find viable agreements and involve government agencies in order to achieve long-term peaceful solutions. In addition, peace-building awareness is promoted in order to reduce prejudices and social divisions. Cameroon's cultural diversity is strengthened as an enrichment for communal coexistence.
The Commission for Justice and Peace (CDJP) in Kribi supports widowed women and their children. After the death of the husband, they are often affected by displacement, threats of violence and loss of inheritance. Parents-in-law often confiscate the deceased's documents to prevent widows and orphans from exercising their rights. The CDJP is committed to combating abuse of power in families and society and promoting peace and justice. The organization also focuses on peace education in schools and strengthening local communities.
