\nCONCEPT NOTE
\nBackground \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\nLocated at the heart of Central Africa, Cameroon is a country whose ethnic, social and cultural richness and diversity are no longer to be demonstrated. The country which is triangular in shape is bordered by Nigeria to the northwest, Chad to the northeast, the Central African Republic to the east, the Republic of the Congo to the southeast, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the southwest. British and French colonial rule are the two main imperialist systems that Cameroon has experienced before gaining its independence in 1960, leaving the country with two linguistics heritages that are English and French. However, these ethnic, cultural and linguistic heritages that once contributed to making Cameroon a country of peace and stability, are today at the root of the many conflicts that the country is currently facing. An upsurge of violence witnessed by various regions seem to put Cameroon at crossroads in its history. The consequences of these conflicts are so devastating that it appears urgent to propose solid strategies to peace building and to justice. It is in this light that we are embarking on contemporary approach to encourage greater participation of the citizens in giving their views, in order to achieve peace in their community and attain justice in our nation.
