On today's campaign on Municipal Elections, let's get to know the Laws behind the local government.

Decentralization in Cameroon is grounded in a legal framework that defines the powers, responsibilities, and functioning of local and regional authorities.

Key laws include:

Law No. 2004/017 - Orientation of Decentralisation
Law No. 2004/018 — Rules Applicable to Councils
Law No. 2004/019 — Rules Applicable to Regions
Law No. 2019/024 — General Code of Regional and Local Authorities.

The 2019 General Code of Regional and Local Authorities consolidated and updated the legal framework governing regional and local authorities, providing clearer guidance on their roles, responsibilities, and powers.

But why does this matter to you?

These laws help define what your council and region are responsible for, how local governance operates, and how communities can engage with their local authorities.

Understanding the legal framework is an important step toward understanding your rights, your responsibilities, and your role in local governance.

Know the law. Understand your local government. Participate in your community.

Today, RADA joins the global community to commemorate World Heart Day 2026. 🫀

Our hearts work for us every day, yet we may not always give our heart health the attention it deserves.

This year’s theme, “Don’t Miss a Beat,” reminds us that heart problems can affect anyone. Knowing the warning signs, going for regular health checks and making healthier choices can help prevent serious complications and save lives.

High blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, to***co use and stress can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Taking care of your heart does not have to be complicated. Eating healthier, staying physically active, avoiding to***co, managing stress, and checking your blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol are simple steps that can make a difference.

Through our health awareness and community engagement efforts, RADA continues to encourage individuals, families and communities to make informed choices about their health.

This World Heart Day, let’s pay more attention to our hearts and encourage our families, friends and communities to do the same.

Take care of your heart today, because every beat matters. ❤️🫀

Dear Fam😊,

As we wrap up the month of September, we want you to watch this video🤗.

What happens when classroom knowledge meets real-world experience?

In July, the Reconciliation and Development Association -RADA received its first badge of interns from the The University of Bamenda, for 2026. Their time in the organization was an opportunity to put theory into practice and gain hands-on experience in a professional environment.

In this video, they share in their own words what they learned, the challenges they encountered, and the key lessons they are taking with them from their time at RADA.

Watch the full video on YouTube via: https://youtu.be/_9n5rb3JauY

Today we are looking at the hidden Secrets of Lemongrass Beyond the Teacup. More Than Just 🍵.

Four Hidden Secrets of Lemongrass
We all know lemongrass makes a refreshing hot or cold drink, but this humble green stalk holds powerful secrets that extend far beyond your kitchen mug.

1. Natural Bug and Mosquito Defense
Lemongrass is rich in citronellal the core ingredient in natural insect repellents. Crushing fresh stalks and rubbing the natural juice onto your skin or boiling stalks in water to make a home spray helps keep mosquitoes away naturally.

2. The Ultimate Natural Air Freshener and Stress Reliever. The aromatic essential oils in lemongrass do more than smell clean they directly influence the nervous system. Simmering lemongrass leaves in water on your stove fills your house with a calming scent that reduces anxiety and improves focus.

3. A Hidden Skincare Hero.Thanks to its natural antimicrobial and astringent properties, lemongrass water works wonders as a natural face toner. It helps balance oil production, minimize pores, and soothe acne-prone skin.

4 . A Culinary Secret Weapon for Savory Dishes
Beyond herbal teas, bruised lemongrass stalks act as a flavor amplifier in soups, broths, stews, and marinades—imparting a citrusy depth without the sourness of lemon juice.

According to Article 1(2) of the 1996 Constitution📜, "Cameroon shall be a decentralized unitary state."

This single sentence reshaped how Cameroon is governed. It means local authorities councils and regions now hold real powers over community development, brought closer to the people they serve.

Do you know what your council is responsible for?

Tell us what you think in the comment section 🤔.

Stay tuned as we cover that this soon!

Hands speak louder than words ✌

Today, we celebrate the voices you can see and feel, we honor the beauty, diversity and power of sign language around the world.

In this year’s commemoration of the International Day of Sign Language under the theme “Declaring Deaf Peoples Human Rights”, we reaffirm our commitment to deaf people’s human rights. RADA stands in solidarity with the deaf community worldwide and particularly in Cameroon affirming that human rights are for everyone, in every language regardless of ability or inability.

In this light, we reiterate that, sign language is a human right, not a privilege. It is not only a tool for communication, it is an expression of identity, culture, dignity and connection. Recognizing and protecting it means recognizing and protecting the rights of Deaf people everywhere.

Together let's make the world an inclusive place where every voice matters whether spoken or in sign. Let us ensure that inclusion is not optional but a right as a matter of fact. We therefore call on everyone to learn, share and respect the richness of sign language. We equally call on everyone to break the barriers so that everyone can be heard.

Let jointly create a world where communication has no limit. Whether you know a few signs of sign language or are fluent, your effort makes a difference.

On this day, we challenge everyone to learn the basics of sign language to ensure inclusive communication and information.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE 2026🕊️ Investing in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day.

This International Day of Peace, we are reminded that peace is not only built around negotiating tables. It is built every day in our homes, workplace, communities, schools, places of worship and through the relationships we maintain with one another.

In communities affected by conflict like the Far North, Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon, investing in peace means investing in people. It means listening to one another, choosing dialogue over violence, rebuilding trust, supporting peaceful conflict resolution, challenging misinformation and creating spaces where communities can dialogue, heal, and reconnect.

This year, we invite community leaders/member, young people, women, civil society actors, religious leaders, traditional authorities and every peacebuilder to answer these question:

- What does peace mean to you?
- What are you doing to build peace in your community?
- What can we invest in today to create a more peaceful tomorrow?

Today, let us spare out time to celebrate the everyday peacebuilders whose small actions create possibilities for reconciliation, coexistence and hope. You can do so by tagging them under this post and appreciating them for the work they do.

Peace is an investment. Peace is everyone's responsibility. Peace begins with what we do today.

Happy International Day of Peace 2026!
