Being in Cameroon since 1962, Peace Corps is an organization that offers a people to people approach. It goes in the villages, rural communities here in Cameroon, to meet the needs of Cameroonians through three programs that are offered for the moment; education, agriculture and community health. ”we have three program areas which are, Education, agriculture and community health, to help the population of Cameroon” explained the Country Director of Peace Corps.

Minister LE's vision for this organization is to give it a new dimension. To give it more visibility, when they come to Cameroon, during their 3months of training and 24months of service ”it would be desirable that when the volunteers come, they are officially welcomed and visited where they are set, during their training” said the Minister.

In perspective, peace corps plans to continue working together with MINFOPRA, and to meet the needs of the populations of cameroon.
