The Movement for Democracy, Development, and Transparency was created/founded/formed on August 30, 2001, under the Chairmanship of Hon. AKONTEH Andrew, in conformity with Law Nº 90/053 of 19th December 1990 on Freedom of Associations and launched under PREFECTORAL ORDER Nº E29/01/143/vol8/569, Sub-Divisional Office Bamenda, on 09/11/2002.
It is a not-for-profit, Non-Governmental, and apolitical association.
The constant images of the collapse of the rule of law, wars, hunger, poverty, and human rights abuse serve as MDDT’s motivation to safeguard the Rule of Law, advocate for peace, and promote and protect human rights in Cameroon and Africa.
MDDT’s projects revolve around creating an enabling environment for the promotion and protection of human rights, increased access to justice, and adequate political space for effective youth participation in democratic processes and inclusive governance.
The human rights-based approach to development remains a standard that the Movement for Democracy, Development, and Transparency (MDDT) ascribes to in its commitment to realizing its mission. The interdependence and indivisibility of civil and political rights and economic, social, and cultural rights have been vital considerations in the design and implementation of MDDT’s mission.
