About  [Edit]

Mission/Vision:



PICAM’s vision is of a Cameroon in which everyone enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in international conventions and national laws; a Cameroon in which democratic principles are respected and upheld; a Cameroon in which peace and justice prevails and everyone enjoys equal opportunities; a Cameroon in which individuals and communities are empowered to their full potentials; a Cameroon in which there are support structures for the poor, distressed, disabled, and underprivileged.



PICAM is dedicated to improving and transforming the Cameroonian society through innovative research, practice, and programs based on a collection of factors necessary to foster an overall improvement in human dignity. At the core of our work is the need to build a strong civil society on the belief that this is critical for the transformation needed in Cameroon. PICAM adopts a comprehensive approach through a combination of committed programs in human rights, democracy, peace building, development, and humanitarian assistance.



PICAM’s activities include research, advocacy, petition, and defense of the principles of human rights and democracy. We investigate, document, denounce, and publicize violations of human rights, undemocratic practices, and measures that threaten the peace. We engage with community based grassroots organizations in development projects and capacity building initiatives. PICAM also carry out projects designed to assist the most vulnerable in the society such as the poor, sick, disabled, and underprivileged.



bullet Opportunities for Youth:



PICAM offers internship and volunteer opportunities for youths. Youths are able to gain valuable knowledge about our programs while improving lives and contributing to the building of a stronger civil society in Cameroon.
