CEPOW is a registered non-profit organization (reg. no. 004/e.29/1111/vol.8/ALPAS) with Head-Office in Bamenda, Cameroon. CEPOW is an off-spring of Obama Friends Cameroon a CIG founded in October 2008. In 2017 Obama Friends Cameroon (OFC) saw a need to engulf a wider perspective and broaden the organization’s scope.
With new ideas and expertise in the management team, a broader agenda was set for the organization. The name was modified from Obama Friends Cameroon (OFC) to Crusaders for Environmental Protection and Ozone Watch (CEPOW) to meet the new agenda geared towards environmental protection.
CEPOW is a membership organization. Currently, we have a membership of 15 (national and international). CEPOW is run by a board of experts and early career scientists who are motivated to lead change in their local communities and the world at large.
We are a non-governmental, non-political, and non-profit making organization. Our goal is to build on the theory of change, through healthier/sustainable solutions to uprising environmental issues. We focus on adaptation and mitigation strategies to climate change. We seek to contribute to a sustainable planet through climate change intervention, environmental conservation, capacity building, development intervention, women and development, and collaborative research.
