PWYP Coalition Spotlight: Cameroon
Publish What You Pay (PWYP) Cameroon
Publish What You Pay (PWYP) Cameroon is entering its sixth year with renewed vigor in its campaign for the responsible management of Cameroon’s subsoil resources. The coalition was launched in 2005 during a regional PWYP workshop in Yaoundé. After an enthusiastic start, PWYP Cameroon worked hard to meet the challenges that working as a coalition can bring. Eliminating interpersonal conflicts, encouraging information sharing and establishing a plan of action based on consensus were all part of this learning process. With the help of different capacity building programs and with support from the PWYP Africa Coordinator, the coalition was able to integrate the various structures, expertise and priorities of different members, without undermining their mandate or identity as individual organisations.
