Some of my work
Project |01
Project |Promoting the Commonwealth in Cameroon
​
I worked with the Commonwealth, The Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the National Olympic Committee to organise a series of events aimed to aannounce the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and to receive the Queen's Baton Relay which also announces the games into Cameroon; was part of a team that facilitated the visit of UK MPs to Cameroon to attend the 60th Commonwealth Parliamentry Conference. I also partnered with the goverment of Cameroon' Commonwealth department in organising annual Commonwealth Day observnces, and in 2015 I got winners of the Queen's Young Leaers Awards to be officially recognised the Commonwealth minister of Cameroon at celebrations marking Commonwealth Day.
Project |02
Project |Combating Female Genital Mutilations and Early and Forced Marriages in Cameroon.
​
I worked with the Cameroonian Ministry of Women's Empowerment and the Family and some local NGOs such as Association Rayons de Soleil and Horizon Femmes to promote the rights of women and to combat all types of violence against women. Presently, the new Penal Code of Cameroon carries laws that penalise some of these practices.
Project |03
Project | Training women as agents of positive change in Cameroon as part of the UK's global Girls Education Campaign.
​
I came up with a scholarship scheme to train build the capacity of young Cameroonian women by training them at masters degree levels so they can be as ambassadors of the British High Commission, helping it to vehicle messages on women's rights to the Cameroonian government. Presently the scheme has helped train some 51 young ladies and raised their professional profiles.
