As part of its commitment to strengthening indigenous women’s participation in governance, DAREM organization, with funding from ALVF Cameroon, recently conducted a mentorship and coaching program for 60 indigenous women across Tole, Muea, and Buea Town communities. This initiative aimed to enhance their leadership, advocacy, and governance skills, equipping them to take on active roles in decision-making and community development.
The program provided a safe space for dialogue, experience-sharing, and skill-building. Participants received guidance on navigating governance structures, engaging in advocacy, and promoting sustainable resource management. Many of the women had never received formal governance training before and expressed enthusiasm about applying their newfound knowledge to their communities.
One participant, a farmer from Tole, shared: “For years, we have been excluded from decisions about our land and water. Now, I realize we have the power to influence policies if we unite and raise our voices.” Another woman, previously hesitant about leadership, remarked: “I used to believe governance was for men. Now, I am ready to challenge unfair policies and demand representation.”
Through mentorship from experienced indigenous women leaders and environmental activists, participants gained practical insights and strategies to overcome barriers in governance. Some women committed to forming local advocacy groups to sustain their efforts beyond the training.
DAREM organization remains dedicated to supporting indigenous women in governance by providing continuous training, mentorship, and advocacy opportunities to ensure their voices are heard in decision-making processes.

Indigenous women in Cameroon’s West and Southwest regions play a vital role in natural resource management, yet their contributions often go unrecognized in governance structures. To address this gap, DAREM NGO, with funding from ALVF Cameroon, conducted a baseline survey to assess the challenges and opportunities for enhancing women’s participation in environmental decision-making. The findings revealed systemic barriers, including limited access to land rights and exclusion from policy discussions, but also highlighted the strong traditional knowledge and leadership potential of indigenous women. This project seeks to empower them through capacity-building, advocacy, and inclusive governance frameworks, fostering both sustainable resource management and long-term peace in their communities.
