Our strategy of stakeholder engagement and development partnerships has enhanced our networks and partnerships with international, government, national and local partners; community-based organizations and Faith Based Organisations; and this has given us the opportunity of access to four regions of Cameroon including the North West, South West, West and Littoral.

UNESCO: In a bit to provide alternative education platforms for out of school children in the NW and SWR of Cameroon, UNESCO entered a partnership with GPA alongside other alternative education service providers in the NOSO regions, in April 2025 to provide digital learning opportunities to children in Oku subdivision, Bui division. This opportunity targeted 5000 learners across levels 1,2 and 3. Learning process became amplified as children had video lessons in both literacy and numeracy and in the science sector. Learning was done through tablets, speakers, projectors and radios. This was aside their learning materials provided by UNESCO.
