Organization Mission

Since 3rd November, 2011, ASCOA has been dedicated to improving the awareness of the local community on HIV/AIDS and its related stigma, promoting peace building in the society, fostering environmental protection and the fight against climate change, supporting children, and empowering women and girls in order to improve their socio-economic participation and boost their wellbeing. We envision a world free of HIV/AIDS, where people are neither stigmatized nor discriminated upon due to their HIV status; a world where women are empowered and children are protected; a world where peace reigns and people live in an environment free of pollution and global warming.

Context

ASCOA is a non-profit organization leading marine debris and plastic pollution initiatives in Cameroon’s coastal communities. As part of its five-year strategic plan, ASCOA is launching the ASCOA Trash Monitor App—a digital platform to support data collection, mapping, and reporting of marine debris along the Limbe–Idenau coastline and beyond. The app will empower volunteers, researchers, and the public to track, report, and analyze waste patterns, informing clean-up strategies and policy advocacy.
