In a bold and timely move, Amaan Africa in collaboration with Local Youth Corner Cameroon (LOYOC), will be hosting DESIGN4SDG16 Workshop to unite young changemakers, community leaders, NGO representatives, and human rights advocates under one common goal: advocating for Children in armed conflict, advancing Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions in Cameroon.
Since 2016, Cameroonians in the South West and North West have suffered through violent clashes between governmental security forces and separatist armed groups in what is known as the “Anglophone crisis.” The crisis is the result of harmful colonial legacies and political struggle between the Francophone majority and the Anglophone minority. Thus violating the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
By 2018, an estimated 4,000 Anglophone schools were closed, eventually depriving over 700,000 children of regular classes for almost four years.
Millions of people have been Internally Displaced, its time to Advocate for a more peaceful Cameroon.
Why It Matters.
Cameroon, like many African nations, continues to grapple with complex and deeply rooted challenges—from the Anglophone crisis to the impact of armed conflict on children. These issues threaten national cohesion, institutional trust, and the wellbeing of the most vulnerable. In response, Amaan Africa is activating youth-led solutions that directly support Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG16)—promoting peaceful and inclusive societies, ensuring justice for all, and building transparent, accountable institutions.
Who Should Participate?
This workshop is for every committed voice striving for a better Cameroon. Whether you’re a:
✅ Community leader
✅ NGO representative
✅ Human rights activist
✅ Youth advocate
This is your space to be heard, to build, and to act – YOUR VOICE MATTERS
What to Expect
Through immersive design thinking sessions, collaborative dialogue, and action-oriented planning, participants will tackle urgent issues including:
Child abuse and exploitation
Children affected by armed conflict
Institutional transparency and accountability
Youth empowerment through advocacy and education
How to use Canva as a tool for Advocacy
The Vision
This is more than a workshop—it’s a movement for sustainable peace. It is a call to commit to at least one impactful goal on the Road to 2030. It’s a bold declaration that “Peace is Possible,” and that through collective energy and strategic action, we can reshape institutions and protect every Cameroonian—especially the young and vulnerable.
Why Now?
From the North West to the South West, young people are rising—demanding justice, protection, and opportunities. The DESIGN4SDG16 Workshop offers the skills, strategies, and solidarity to turn that urgency into sustainable change.
