Transparency International Cameroon: A Key Player in the Fight Against Corruption

Since its establishment, Transparency International Cameroon (TI-C) has emerged as a leading organization in the fight against corruption, using innovative, inclusive, and data-driven approaches. As the national chapter of the global Transparency International movement, TI-Cameroon is actively working to promote integrity, transparency, and accountability in both public and private governance across the country.

A Clear Mission and Strategic Objectives

TI-Cameroon’s mission is to help build a fairer and more equitable society where institutions are accountable, and citizens are aware of their rights. To achieve this, the organization operates through several strategic pillars:

  • Advocacy for transparent public policies

  • Support to victims and whistleblowers of corruption through Legal Advice and Citizen Action Centers (CAJAC)

  • Capacity building for civil society and public institutions in corruption prevention

  • Independent research and reporting on corruption practices in key sectors such as health, education, and natural resource management

Concrete Actions on the Ground

Transparency International Cameroon leads impactful programs and projects, often in collaboration with technical and financial partners. Some of its most notable achievements include:

  • The Legal Advice and Citizen Action Center (CAJAC), established in 2010, has handled more than 10,000 corruption cases reported by citizens.

  • Extensive awareness campaigns in schools, markets, and public offices to educate communities about their rights and encourage them to report illicit practices.

  • Contributions to legal and regulatory reforms, especially concerning asset declaration, public procurement, and whistleblower protection.

  • Development of digital governance monitoring tools to foster transparency in local government budget management.

Recognized Expertise at National and International Levels

Thanks to its methodological rigor and neutral positioning, TI-Cameroon is regularly consulted by government institutions, international organizations, and donors for technical support, governance audits, and the implementation of citizen alert mechanisms.

The organization is also an active member of several national and regional platforms, such as the National Anti-Corruption Commission (CONAC), the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), and various Pan-African networks tackling illicit financial flows.

Promoting Ethical and Inclusive Governance

Transparency International Cameroon strongly believes that fighting corruption can only be effective with the direct involvement of citizens. The organization champions a participatory and inclusive approach, empowering grassroots communities, supporting investigative journalists, and fostering dialogue between public authorities and the population.

Transparency International Cameroon remains firmly committed to working with national and international partners to build a Cameroon where transparency and social justice are the foundation of sustainable development.
