Bamenda: Common sense solutions to promote peace in Cameroon
CONCEPT NOTE
Background
Cameroon at crossroads in its history? For decades now, while many other African countries have been engulfed in conflicts, Cameroon had been admired by many as a peace loving and stable country. But it would appear events in recent times are fast eroding that notion as the country is being confronted with a series of challenges. It is in this light that we are embarking on contemporary approach trying to encourage greater participation of the citizens in promoting peace in their community and in finding solutions to their common problems.
