Our Values

Sustainability: FORUDEF believes that its work should be long lasting in effect, and be continuous and replicable in the long-term without external supports or implements.

Capacity Building: By increasing the skills and knowledge of the target population, FORUDEF aims to increase their ability to overcome poverty through their own means, and gradually decrease reliance on the expertise of FORUDEF and other organizations.

Education: FORUDEF values training, information dissemination, and skill development as a means of inspiring development. Educational tools both build capacity and can be passed on to other generations

Empowerment: In order to be effective, responsibility for development strategies must be given to the target population, and their participation must be an essential component of all initiatives. FORUDEF values partnerships with local communities, which precipitates the exchange of information and ideas, and leads to empowered, self-sufficient communities.

Justice: FORUDEF believes in the equal opportunity and rights of every individual, irrespective of race, religion, gender or status, and believes that there is an obligation to ensure that areas of injustice are addressed and rectified. FORUDEF is committed to being a voice of justice in the Southwest and working to ensure that all Cameroonians are treated equally.
