INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE
INTRODUCTION
Action Centre for Rural Community Development (ACERCD - CAMEROON) is a rural based non-profit, non-governmental organisation founded in 1999 with the registration no 918/G14/67/vol 2/APPB. This organisation was set up to promote Agriculture, Livestock, Trade, Micro-finance, Micro-enterprise and Natural Resource Development in the rural areas especially among women and youths. This is aimed at alleviating poverty, eradicating hunger and guaranteeing food security among the poorest of the poor family circles. It is also aimed at guaranteeing a safe world for the future generations.
ACERCD strongly believes that the rural communities are the breadbaskets or our nations in Africa. Therefore neglecting them means biting our own tails. Thus improving on sustainable development of our nations, they need to be informed, educated, counselled, fed, encouraged, given medical and technical assistance for self-employment, self-reliant and self-sustainability.
In this light, ACERCD has been formed to be the voice, the eyes, ears and the brain of the rural poor folk to stand the challenges of globalisation.

• To promote on the living conditions of the rural poor especially women and youths.
