The Organization for Gender, Civil Engagement and Youth Development (OGCEYOD)
The Organization for Gender, Civil Engagement and Youth Development is a non-governmental organization, which was created on the 17th of July 2005 by young talented and proactive Cameroonians as Pollution Free Environment (POFEN) with its main objective being combating environmental challenges and climate change.
Its members at the time then reviewed and modified the name, vision, mission and objectives of the organization to meet the pressing challenges of children, youths and women in Cameroon and Africa.
