Humanitarian & Emergency support activities
Our humanitarian and emergency support activities are in response to the crisis in the English-speaking regions of Cameroon and are aimed at reducing the suffering of the affected people. These activities consist of assisting affected and/or displaced families, particularly women, in food and non-food items and when peace is restored, support them to rehabilitate their abandoned farms to address food security concerns, rebuild their homes and restore their farm businesses.
Change in legal status of CENDEP
The Community Engagement for Development and Environmental Protection (CENDEP) traces its roots back to 1999, when it was established as the Centre for Nursery Development and Eru Propagation (CENDEP). At that time, it operated as a Common Initiative Group (CIG), formally registered on 19 July 2000 under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
In line with Law No. 90/053 of 19 December 1990, all CIGs registered under sectoral ministries were required to transition into Associations and declare themselves with the Ministry of Territorial Administration. To comply with this regulation, CENDEP officially transformed into an Association on 18 October 2019, under declaration No. 111/E.29/1111/VOL.8/ALPAS.
It is important to emphasize that CENDEP CIG and CENDEP Association are one continuous organization. The change in legal status and name was made solely to meet government standards. All of CENDEP’s track record since 1999—its projects, partnerships, and achievements—remains valid under the Association.
Up until 2025, CENDEP Association has continued to use the established bank accounts and website of the original CIG. Moving forward, the organization will update its website and communications to formally reflect its status as an Association, while ensuring partners are duly notified.
