CAEPA has completed the implementation of its Proposed 5-year CAEPA Strategic Plan 2018-2022. Moving forward, CAEPA will continue to make gains in improving the environmental stewardship and livelihoods of pastoralists and farming communities within North-west and South-West Cameroon. It will build on farmer’s assets and integrate social innovation, improved technologies and collaboration in community-led strategies. However, while CAEPA’s work is rooted in sustainable agro-forestry and Livelihoods, it does not end there. CAEPA has recently taken a deeper look into the challenges within the communities it supports through a gender-sensitive lens. CAEPA is rapidly developing its capacity in gender-transformative development and is aware that it cannot successfully address the root causes of poverty and under-development without also addressing the inequality and exclusion of women and girls. We will be publishing articles on projects implemented as our contribution to Cameroon’s growth and employment strategy of becoming an emergent economy by 2035. Our work has also contributed to the achievements of the SDG.

CAEPA is looking for five online volunteers to support us with writing articles for our website blog. Each volunteer will be given an end of project report to write a comprehensive article of about 500words of the project. The Director will provide all project reports implemented between 2018-2022 to facilitate the process. Communication will be through emails, WhatsApp, skype. The articles written will be published on our website to enhance our visibility through the sharing of best practices. At the end, CAEPA in collaboration with Online Volunteering (OV) solution of the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme will issue a certificate as a sign of appreciation.
