    Introduction:

    CAREF was created to address the issue of the increasing poverty of women in Cameroon, and their insufficient participation in the decision-making process.  In December 2003 the ACBF Executive Board approved a grant of US$1,526,150 to CAREF.

    Project Description:

    The main goal of the Projet de Renforcement des Capacités des Réseaux des Femmes pour Lutter contre la Pauvreté en République du Cameroun (CAREF) project was to professionalize the voice of women’s organizations in Cameroon so as to enable them to interface with the public sector in the process of formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of poverty reduction policies, strategies, programs and projects.

The recognition of ACBF as the African Union’s Specialized Agency for Capacity Development launches the beginning of a new era for capacity building by ACBF, which will require an appropriate level of political commitment and financial support from all stakeholders.

The remarkable achievements ACBF has registered over the past 26 years is not by accident in our opinion. They have come through hard work, dedication, commitment, purposeful leadership, support from the member countries as well as productive partnership building.

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.

Ghana’s partnership with ACBF is a tremendous blessing for us and therefore the opportunity for Ghana to host the 26th ACBF Board of Governors Meeting is something that we treasure.
