The action of the IOF in favor of civil society Peguy Stephane Tchoung Owono

The fight against corruption is more than ever one of the priorities of the Cameroonian government. Indeed, after being reported twice consecutively as the most corrupt country in the world by the Berlin-based NGO Transparency International, in 1998 and 1999, the Cameroonian authorities have taken several initiatives to try to reduce the extent of this phenomenon, the economic, social and political consequences of which are no longer to be sought. These initiatives have resulted in the creation of some specialized institutions, the adoption of anti-corruption standards and membership in international institutions ... Despite all these commendable measures, the position of the country has not changed and Cameroon is still in the black list of the most corrupt countries in the world. Among the various actors engaged in this Herculean fight against corruption in Cameroon, one can note the remarkable presence of Cameroonian civil society organizations which although difficult are trying to make their modest contribution to eradicate the greatest evil of the Cameroonian public administration.
