Action Lab for Development (ACTLAB) is a non-profit organization registered by the government of Cameroon, partnered with the United Nations as their consultant.
We are an apolitical group involved in entrepreneurship, creative economies, and civil society work.
First founded in 2016, Action Lab for Development was legally authorized in 2018 by the Cameroonian government, recognized with a Special Consultative Status by the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 2020. This status is indicative of our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our key focus areas as far as solutions are concerned are: 1) Food Security 2) Advocacy and 3) Education.
These solutions aim to positively impact the lives of vulnerable youth suffering from systemic human rights violations. They are especially necessary in the current ongoing armed conflict in the North, North-West and South-West regions of Cameroon. Our data has found that access to education, particularly in the field of social entrepreneurship, is a powerful tool for the youth as it affords them an outlet to leverage their experiences into viable solutions for their communities.
