Project Management & Leadership Internship Program (PMLIP):
Since 2010, we have continued to organize free 3 months training (internship) on project planning and management, leadership and good governance and give participants an opportunity to carry out a project (research or community development project in health, poverty alleviation, agriculture, climate change etc) and sponsors it until the candidates defend their works and are awarded certificates. Find attached theCEO's commencement speech during the graduation ceremony of the 6th and 7th (summer) batches of PMLIP. Be informed that we recruited 8 new participants who began in Sept 5th this year.

IHAF is proud of your tremendous efforts and wishes you all the best as you put your knowledge and skills into practice in bringing out the best in your various organisations and institutions. A communique from IHAF to the Internship Organizing committee entreats the Cameroonian youth to transform their 'hidden, neglected and unexplored  talents into a productive and beneficial force. Thank you 6th and 7th batches for the appreciation letter in which you pledge to be 'more useful and helpful to yourselves, your communities and the nation at large by being job creators and not job seekers to face the challenges of a fast moving world.




Congratulations to the IhAF team for acceptance of their article; 'Cameroonian youths, their attraction to scamming and strategies to divert attention' in the International NGO Journal , Abia et al.

1st Congress of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs)


The 1st Congress of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), Organised by the Integrated Health for All Foundation (IHAF), Cameroon on the theme: “Promoting Networking, Good Governance, Transparency and Accountability amongst CSOs in Cameroon”.

Promoting networking, good governance/democracy, transparency and accountability for a united voice aiming at eradicating corruption amongst CSOs and influencing policy in Cameroon cannot be over emphasized.

Major weaknesses of civil society include: absence of a pilot centre (such as Civil Society Centre for National and International Cooperation’s (CSCNIC-ihafcam)) to coordinate activities of CSOs; inadequate networking, transparency and accountability; and the common-place corruption especially association/NGOs. Taking advantage of the situation, many CSOs rather exploit citizens/communities for selfish reasons; embezzle funds intended for vital purposes; while many others are “ghost” organisations.

Hence, realization of this platform by the “watch-dog-structure” (CSCNIC-ihafcam) will bring CSOs / citizens together to share information, lay down resolutions to fight against “ghost” CSOs and corruption. Also, the forum shall build capacities of CSOs to advocate on transparency, accountability and networking, and adopt inputs that could be suggested to government ministers to encourage and introduce / influence certain policy and strengthen partnership between government and civil society in Cameroon.

Join us now and improve our strategies!!!
