Cameroon: Human Rights Commission Seeks More Funding

The National Commission on Human Rights and Freedoms (NCHRF) gathered national and international technical and financial partners in the protection and promotion of human rights in Cameroon yesterday March 27 to brief them on the stakes of the protection and promotion of human rights in Cameroon. The briefing that centred at canvassing for more funds was chaired by NCHRF Chairman, Divine Chemuta Banda.

Though the State has taken several measures to make the NCHRF abide with the Paris Principles which are international standards for all National Human Right Institutions (NHRI), the commission is still staggering to accomplish its mission. Limited staff and finances, Divine Chemuta Banda explained, remain some of the commission's major challenges. The setback, he said, is evident in the late publication of annual reports. Reports, they wish to publish regularly.
