"You don’t make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas” Shirley Hufsteddler

CCDHR staffs work on a daily basis to identify the most considerate challenges facing the Cameroonian society and its people. To elevate these issues of national challenge to the forefront of public policy debate in Cameroon, CCDHR will regularly issue Policy Papers to influence public policies and actions in ways that address the common good of all Cameroonians. CCDHR hopes that the issues propagated in its Policy Papers will reflect the most considerate challenges facing the Cameroonian society.   CCDHR does not pretend to have or provide solutions to all the problems that plagues Cameroon. Rather, our Policy Papers are geared at raising the necessary questions and bringing significant issues to the public arena for discussion, while committing to the strategies necessary to influence appropriate actions or needed changes. Our Policy Papers reflect issues pertinent to our five main programs in human rights, democracy, peace building, development and humanitarian assistance.   Click on the links below to read our Policy Papers on the various issues affecting Cameroon.   April 15, 2010 The Need to Recognize Dual Citizenship in Cameroon: Cameroon's Current Nationality Law is Unnecessarily Restrictive   March 16, 2009 Cameroon Needs an Independent Electoral Commission: ELECAM is NOT the Answer   December 10, 2008 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Cameroonians Yet to Have their Human Rights Recognized and Respected   May 15, 2008 The Political Economy of Sustainable Development in Cameroon
