About us
Despite the advantages of the internet to society in general and Cameroonian youth in particular, and the role of digital technology in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, it presents many security challenges especially to young people. Young people are currently targeted online by predators due to their vulnerability and inexperience online. Many Cameroonian youths do not also know how to take advantage of the internet and how to use it to empower themselves; they rather spend more time on hate speech or viewing content that may not be appropriate for their ages. Cameroon Internet Organisation therefore launched the Digital Club Project last year during Safer Internet Day (SID) 2020. It is hoped that through this project some of the problems will be addressed.
