MAIN AREAS OF OPERATIONS
DESCRIPTION OF EACH THEMATIC AREA
Research and policy advocacy
As a means of solving community problems, LRF is using scientific research as an evidence-based tool to create new knowledge while bringing out trends and patterns on key areas that can improve community health and wellbeing. Also, mindful of the fact that policies can easily be advocated for based on sound scientific evidence, we are leveraging this strength to improve health policies in Cameroon.
Healthy living and Mental health
We are engaged in all activities that enhance healthy living and mental health including prevention of drug abuse. Mindful of the fact that mental health issues encompass a silent pandemic, we are creating awareness in communities, schools, churches, youth gatherings, meeting groups etc through community dialogue structures and community engagement promoting healthy living amongst all age groups.
Sexual and reproductive health and rights
The right to equality and non-discrimination in accessing sexual and reproductive health information and health services is a fundamental human right. We are reaching out to marginalized groups like women, adolescents, IDPs and orphanages to provide comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services for advocacy to improve their health outcomes.
Capacity building and community development
With our motto “Redefining and Promoting Research”, We are mentoring and building the capacity of young people in research methodology, data analysis, and article publication for young people who are taking up a career in research. Also, we train young persons in grant and project writing by harnessing the expertise of our ongoing projects. We are achieving this through seminars, conferences, workshops and skill identification symposiums that brings together young persons in our office space or through video conferencing.
Strategic partnerships
In the quest for the sustainability of our activities and projects, we are establishing strategic, sustainable, productive and constructive partnerships with both state and private institutions for community development and nation building. We are also building partnerships with community groups and NGOs. Sustainability is sure as we prioritize innovation, and social impact building on a foundation of mutual benefit and long-term sustainability.
