Impact Stories

AC-Cameroon assists the government of Cameroon on the field to offer some form of direct services to those who have been victims of corruption and to campaign actively and creatively in countering corruption. AC’s innovative model also permits it to resolve cases of bribery attempts in real-time brought to its notice. We carry out investigations of acts of corruption and where substantial evidence is gathered, empower the victims by providing a tool for them to press charges against the corrupt official in court, and provide legal assistance throughout the prosecution process.
