ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

The Academic and Career Development Initiative Cameroon (ACADI) is a non-profit community-based organisation founded in 2010 by a group of visionary young people committed to creating positive change in the lives of youth across Cameroon and Sub-Saharan Africa. The organization was officially registered in 2018.

We work at the intersection of career development, youth empowerment, health promotion, research, and community engagement — collaborating with individuals, institutions, and partners to foster sustainable development.

Guided by our vision — Empowered Communities, Sustainable Futures — we are dedicated to helping every young person discover, develop, and utilise their talents.
