Why APOCEF?
Our vision
Faced with the many challenges in the Sahel, the A.P.O.C.E.F association, through its actions and with the support of its partners, is committed to working to help strengthen the resilience of communities by promoting local knowledge (traditional systems or endogenous mechanisms) in order to help enhance cultural and natural resources, encourage the creativity of artists and craftspeople, and support the collective identity that improves the awareness of our societies. The aim is to promote inclusive and participatory sustainable development in all its aspects, based on culture, the environment and the cultural and creative industries (CCI) as a whole.
This exceptional experience in Cameroon is a genuine platform where issues relating to the preservation, safeguarding, management, monitoring and promotion of cultural and natural resources will be studied, questioned and evaluated, while supporting communities through activities that will enable the protection, transmission, development and enhancement of these resources for the economic and social development of the territories.
