Cameroon 1999/2002 : code of conduct for NGOs and churches

Abstract

Corruption is a universal phenomenon that knows no boundary, no race and no religion. Corruption, which developed in Cameroon over the past two decades, has become the cancer of the Cameroonian society, and is eating into the fabric of every society stratum. Conscious of the hope the population has placed in them, and of their roles and responsibilities in society, NGOs and the churches of Cameroon intend to fight against corruption and to promote transparency. NGOs, churches, and church projects sincerely hope that other sectors of society (state and private sector) would join in their efforts and take concrete measures with regard to this fight.
