Cameroon Link is a
registered charity not-for-profit organisation for the promotion of
humanitarian assistance, community health, development, communication and
human rights advocacy created on the 9th September 1991 with
head office in Douala, Cameroon.
It was
founded by a professional dialogue group of communication specialists,
journalists, health and social welfare workers, following the crucial lack
of good circulation of information on government policies on development,
social welfare, community health issues, nutrition and food-self
sufficiency in Cameroon. Cameroon Link coordinates the Cameroon
Breastfeeding Promotion Task Force |
