I was particularly impacted recently when CAMPEACI and CNCD carried out a joint people centered and Cultural Appropriate Landscape Restoration program in Bangem, during which I witnessed the dynamism, commitment and professionalism of an organization. CAMPEACI is a structure to reckon with.

There is no sustainable peace without a local perspective to peacebuilding. CAMPEACI positions itself within a trajectory of building strong community capacities to enhance sustainable peace. It bets on an inclusive youth-centered approach to sustain local accountability, leadership and ownership of peace and development endeavors. With a strategic approach grounded on multilevel stakeholder coordination, CAMPEACI seeks to maximize on the gains of coherence in policy formulation within its cross-cutting priorities of education, environment, gender, conflict prevention and community resilience building..

Far before the advent of the Boko Haram insurgency in the Extreme North Region and the socio-political crisis rocking the two English speaking regions of Cameroon, CAMPEACI had positioned herself as a véritable peace actor in a country that was then described as "an island of peace in a turbulent Central African Sub-region." This visionary nature of CAMPEACI makes use of a holistic approach to conflict prevention, management and resolution. By incorporating both the young and the old through several indoor and outdoor activities, CAMPEACI is inculcating the culture of peace in the Cameroonian society in particular and the world in general.
