A CLOSER LOOK AT
CAMGEW
CAmeroon Gender and Environmental Watch (CAMGEW) is a civil society organisation created to look for a solution to environmental and women’s problems in Cameroon.
The work with CAMGEW has allowed its team to be more united and to work with efficiency with a clearer strategy and approach.
The 2015 sessions enabled CAMGEW to develop a more representative mission statement that reflects what they seek to do. With this, they put in place radio programmes on why they do what they do. They also use other platforms to communicate and allow participation like trainings. As a result, there is an increased understanding on the work and relevance on CAMGEW. This has led to more youth and women being involved in eco- business activities. There is also an increased interest by the community to protect the forest.
They also gained a better global understanding of their programmes and a better appreciation of the challenges in their community.
"I be na member for CAMGEW"
This is a way of expressing the attachment of the community members to CAMGEW's work, and that they belong to the change process CAMGEW is influencing.
