A Grassroots Movement for Lasting Change
Actions for Development and Empowerment (ADE) is a non-profit, grassroots, and youth-driven organisation founded in 2019 with the aim of empowering young people to act on issues that affect their lives and play an active role in the development process.
ADE's work also addresses the absence of avenues for citizens, especially youth, to hold government accountable to its service-delivery obligations through informed demands. ADE has members in all ten regions of Cameroon.
