The Democracy and Good Governance project supports
our
Democracy, good governance, and public
accountability programs. It seeks to address the
country’s democratic deficiencies and the core
concerns associated with the crisis of governance in
Cameroon. The major aspects of this project include
rule of law, separation of powers, accountability in
government, democratic participation, and
anticorruption.
This project is built against the backdrop of the absence
of accountability and probity in government
operations, the pervasiveness of corruption, and the
absence of transparent, free, and fair elections in
Cameroon. CCDHR recognizes that democratic
governance requires appropriate observation of
certain fundamental norms which are currently absent
in Cameroon.
The elections component of this project seeks to make
persistent demands for the creation of a sound
Independent Electoral Commission trustworthy to
handle electoral matters in Cameroon. The current
situation is awful as people have over the years,
become increasing frustrated with the system, have
completely lost fate in the country, and have
resigned to faith by abstaining from participating
in electoral processes. Elections constitute the
basis of democracy, and democracy sustains open
societies, without which there can be no genuine
social stability or development.
CCDHR continuously advocates for democratic and good
governance principles and other pertinent reforms on
the belief that these are essential for the
fulfillment of individual and collective
aspirations, the articulation of national interests,
and the nurturing of a strong and effective civil
society. Besides advocacy, we will continue to
denounce and expose undemocratic practices through
our press releases in the hope that
such negative exposure will be a disincentive to
abuses.
