This project aims at fostering a safe online presence in Cameroon by empowering the citizens with necessary resources to permit them face the challenges of modern day cyber crime in our cyber space. Emphasis is put on joint action and community collaboration in order to respond to any criminal action identified. We will be using ICT (Web 2.0) platforms, including and not limited to website, blogs, VOIP, social networks, micro blogging applications, Video/audio conferences applications, Youtube, Flickr,audio-visual materials, SMS applications,TV etc. to sensitize, mobilize and arm the citizens for this purpose. Our actions will be centered towards three elements: Learn, Understand and Share. For the past months, seminars and conferences have been organized to create an awareness on the issue of cyber crime as a whole. Presently, we are working on the field to map out a network of cyber cafés in some major towns in Cameroon (Douala, Buea, kumba, Bamenda) in order to have a clear view of the various hot spots criminals use frequently. A network has been put in place to coordinate this activity. Simultanoeusly,we are designing a website to host online activities.

Vision, objectives and goals: 

The vision of this project is to foster a safe online presence in Cameroon. Emanating from the fact that the negative impact of cyber crime has provoked a state of insecurity in our cyber space; youths are exploited daily by online criminals… the vision of this project is to change this state of insecurity to a more secure one. Conventionally, criminals must be tracked down for a city to be secured; our vision is special in the sense that we prefer to arm the citizens to anticipate the criminals and face the challenges involved instead of running after them.

Objective: Create awareness on online safety in particular and the online world in general Reduce the number of cyber crime victims in Cameroon.

Goals: Meet face to face with at least 20.000 youths nationwide, to brief them on the mechanisms used by cyber criminals and how to stay safe online. Mobilize 10.000 or more citizens online through social networks and build their capacity to face the challenges of modern day cyber crime.
