Gender inequality has been preached for years by the civil society, national and international communities and still has to yield the necessary fruits in local communities, for meaningful development to take place especially in developing countries like Cameroon.
The Covid-19 pandemic brought a lot of untold hardship to the population, coupled with the socio-economic and political crises in the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon, making the situation hardly bearable in many communities.
There can be no meaningful development without peace. That is why on the 22nd of May 2022, a seminar was organized in Bafut particularly in Niko Community to create awareness on the importance of women fully participating in decision making in the community.
On the 22nd of December 2021 the organization organized a celebration event to boost the moral and spirits of children in Bamenda, one of the main cities within Anglophone armed conflict zone in Cameroon. Children included some of our identified less privileged kids, orphans and internally displaced children (IDC).
During the months of April and December, the organization organized two different seminars/workshops in Bafut Sub Division with objective to sensitize the women on peaceful coexistence and build capacity various areas within our domains of intervention.
This annual program is aimed at facilitating back to school activities for the less privileged, in the struggle to regain lost ground due to education gaps resulting from armed conflicts in the NW and SW Regions of Cameroon.
Physically challenged or disabled children have often been looked at in the society as outcasts and have been stigmatized. This has caused them trauma and psychological torture. In many cases, this has lead to death, either because of improper care or improper nutrition.

In order to help restore peace in the North and South West Regions of Cameroon COEDEM organises as well as participates in events, campaigns and workshops on peace building and conflict resolution.
Program outcome: Over 500 women impacted so far.
The ongoing armed conflict, socio-economic and political crises in local communities in the NW and SW regions of Cameroon, coupled with the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in many families and displaced persons going for days or weeks without a good balanced diet.
The back bone of any economy is education. The leaders of tomorrow are children today. Their education is crucial. However, due to the current armed conflict in the Cameroon Anglophone regions, some children and youth have not been able to attend school for the past FIVE YEARS AND COUNTING!
