Our

approach

We bridge the gap between Research and Practice and bring lasting solutions to the communities we work with. Through our ever-growing experience, RDWB has learned that three mutually complementary principles, or “cross-cutting issues”, are crucial to sustainable development and effective humanitarian assistance in Cameroon, these are community-led development, gender equality and the Value of Education. These three principles are factored into all of our work. 

Partnerships with other high-performing organizations enable us to expand our good work, to do more for more people while sharing learning and driving innovation. RDWB has made mutually complementary partnerships central to our way of working. 

More information on each of these approaches and why they are so important to the success of our work can be found below. Find out more about what we do and Our Projects, or donate today to support vulnerable citizen across the country.
