EPDA provides high priority and need-based interventions in low-income communities (LIC) and communities in need (CIN) throughout the national territory of Cameroon in a bit to contribute to the well-being of the local population, who are poor, in need and/or depend mostly on natural resources for their livelihoods. Our work focuses on environmental protection, poverty alleviation, and the reduction of suffering/hunger. We ensure our projects are tailored to the specific needs of the beneficiaries while respecting the cultural norms of the local communities as well as national and international frameworks and policies that support such interventions. We, therefore, engage community groups especially youth and women in our work and ensure that our actions influence the decision and policy-making processes as well as local ownership. Currently, we work in the North West and southwest regions with plans to extend to the Littoral, South, East and the Far North regions of Cameroon
EPDA is opened to partnership and believes on teamwork especially in related domains of our interventions. Together, we can better address the challenges of our environment and the needs and suffering of people especially those hit by crisis. Therefore share your expertise and/or resources with EPDA as a partner, intern, or volunteer so that we can make the world better. While EPDA strives to secure a sustainable future for all, it builds on an environment where services nurture peace, networking and sustainable development.
“Serving vulnerable people and their communities in times of crisis”
During humanitarian emergencies, the risk of human rights violations, violence and displacement to the affected individuals is extreme. Above all, water and sanitation systems are often vulnerable to attack. With no potable water or adequate sanitation and hygiene facilities, individuals especially those already suffering from malnutrition and weakened immune systems — become even more susceptible to water-borne diseases.
