Denis Miki Foundation was amongst the few Community Based Organsiations invited by Canadian High Commission through Dynamique Citoyenne to participate in ” The Support Project to Promote the Participation of CSOs in Cameroon Electoral Process“.

  • This work shop was organized to educate civil societies in the South West Region on the importance of their participation in the Cameroon electoral processes. To give them a background on the electoral system, its different forms and their requirements.
  • To understand their expectations in respect to the electoral process and come up with strategies that can be used to monitor the election, so that it will be free and fare.

CSOs have the ability to mobilize our community to vote. The only way for the CSOs to participate actively in the election is through; civil education, vote counting and vote compilation. Our existence as CSOs is to craft an agenda how we can makes elections more transparent, so we have the right people in the right position and that they can be remove if they don’t perform.

Workshop deliberation sessions were done where participants were divided into groups and resolutions were arrived at.

DMF contributed by adding a voice to the policy reformation for the electoral process in Cameroon.

With the need to partner for the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goal had Young Female HIV/AIDS Peer Educators be trained in the Peer Educators training by Presse Jeune Developpement and Center for Media and Strategic Communication in partnership with Reach Out Cameroon.

In all our activities health education talks and campaigns are not left out and this is to economically empower the people and communities for healthy lifestyles. It is vital for Denis Miki Foundation to include Health education talks, sensitizations and campaigns in her projects and activities. This is in the areas of HIV/AIDS, Sexual and Reproductive Health, Water and Sanitation. It is one of our goals to implement larger projects on health in the poor rural and urban communities we work with since most of them are faced with health challenges of HIV/AIDS, Malnutrition and many others. The HIV/AIDS trainings are facilitated by the trained Peer Educators who were trained by Presse Jeune Developpement and Center for Media and Strategic Communication in partnership with Reach Out Cameroon.

The Peer Educators will be going into the field to train their peers on HIV/AIDS prevention, how to use the female condom, prevention and available HIV/AIDS management methods.
