HARAMBE AMBASSADORS’ MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
A. PRESENTATION OF THE PROGRAMME
1. MISSION:
The Harambe Cameroon Ambassadors’ Mentorship Programme (HCAMP) is a
programme whose mission is to encourage young Cameroonians not only to develop their
leadership skills but also to improve their ability in solving problems in their environment which
would be beneficial to their communities. This programme fits within the vision that Harambe
Cameroon has to inspire young Cameroonians to get actively involved in solving the problems
of the community and our nation as a whole.
2. VISION:
The HCAMP seeks to transform our youths into "problem-solvers"; that is, young
people who can transform the problems of our society into business opportunities, to improve
their performance and exploit their talents and know-how in order to become entrepreneurs and
leaders of Cameroon of tomorrow.
3. OBJECTIVES:
Being a Harambe Ambassador is done through a personal training, self-fulfilment and a
leadership behaviour which permit everyone to create and activate the dormant leadership skills
in him/her for a bright and prosperous future in an ever-changing world.
The programme permits every affiliated youth to be able to stand out in the cloud through
his/her skills acquired during his/her Harambe Ambassador training.
At the end of this training, every participant will be able to present an assessment of his/her
training that will focus on his/her participation as an Ambassador. Focus will also be on the
challenges faced during the training and the lessons learned.

HARAMBE AMBASSADORS’ MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
B. LAUNCHPAD PROGRAMME
1. MISSION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE HARAMBE AMBASSADOR:
With the aim of finding solutions to daily problems, Harambe Ambassadors will dedicate four
hours of their time per week to work as volunteers for their community-based development by
identifying any problems and solving them. Each ambassador is free to programme the four
hours according to his/her own schedule. These four hours per week could be organized as
follows:
i.
Meeting and interviewing workers (1 hour): Every month, Harambe will have a
theme representing Cameroonian workers in specific informal job sectors. For example,
November could be the month of “call box agents”, December the month of
“hairdressers” and January the month of “taximen”. This activity would entail
identifying ten workers in the theme of the month, with whom the volunteer would
discuss their current job, the challenges they face, and the opportunities they need to
improve on their performance. By the end of the month, the ambassador should propose
a solution to help reduce the interviewees’ challenges.
Deliverables: The volunteer should provide (1) an excel file outlining the
person’s name, activity sector, phone number, email address (if they don’t have
an email, help them create one), the interviewee’s objective in life, major
challenges in their current profession, how they can improve their current status;
and (2) a photo of the ambassador(s) in action during the meeting/interviews
with the workers. These pictures will be used to regularly communicate about
our ambassadors’ engagement on our social networks.
ii.
Problem-solving challenges (1 hour): Ambassadors should set up an hour in their
week to incite 3-100 people, in their communities, school campuses, families, to identify
a
challenge
and
transform
that
challenge
into
an
opportunity.
Deliverables: The volunteer should provide two paragraphs explaining the
activity they organized, with a photo attached. These two paragraphs should
describe the audience you worked with, the problem(s) identified, the solution(s)
provided. These pictures are to be used to regularly communicate about our
ambassadors’ engagement on our social networks.
iii.
Social networking (1hour): ambassadors should share their weekly stories to Harambe
Cameroon for posting on Harambe’s Facebook page and Twitter to promote their
actions and those for the association in Cameroon and the rest of the world. Volunteers
should also share posts from Harambe website, and be active in the discussions on the
Harambe page. Moreover, ambassadors can suggest some posts for publication on
Harambe’s profiles.
Deliverables: The volunteer should (1) post at least two contents from Harambe
on his/her personal page per week; and (2) suggest posts for Harambe to publish,
these can be about his/her duties as an ambassador or another subject he/she

considers relevant to our main activities such as problem-solving, innovation,
youth engagement, service and leadership.
iv.
Discussion with other ambassadors (1 hour): Ambassadors from the same region
should endeavour to meet physically, if not organize online chats (WhatsApp,
Facebook, etc.) with their peers. The Harambe administration will create a private group
on Facebook (Ambassadors – Harambe Cameroon)where all the ambassadors would
discuss and share their difficulties and experiences (whether good or bad) in order to
help other members who are out of their region or absent on the online chat group.
Deliverables: By Sunday evening, ambassadors must submit a one-page weekly
activity report on the activities they organized in their region. Therefore, at each
meeting (physical or virtual), someone should be appointed as the secretary and
be in charge of writing a report about the relevant issues discussed and then post
on the Harambe private ambassadors' group.
2. AGENDA AND THEME

HARAMBE AMBASSADORS’ MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
Social Impact: the contribution of ambassadors' mission is estimated at about 100 persons per
ambassador whose daily life is directly impacted by movement with an extension of about
35,000 persons (per ambassador) who would have heard about Harambe (vision, mission),
objectives and interests to become ambassador (personal development, acquisition of notions
and leadership training). Statistics are growing as more of the young people will be mobilized
to become ambassadors.
In the long term, ambassadors will be considered to be the development stakeholders of
the Cameroon nation, the followers of change and innovation, the engine of youth
outreach. These young people have theobjective of transforming problems into
opportunities. They are business leaders to be and will subsequently develop solutions
for the emergence of Cameroon by 2035.

HARAMBE AMBASSADORS’ MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
3. ACTION PLAN
The implementation of the ambassadors' mission will be as follows:
i.
The expectation of each member
 Commitment
 Respect of the code of conduct
The Harambe-Cameroon Ambassadors are committed to respect values that inspire their daily
operations: justice, equity, transparency, objectivity, honesty, openness respect for fundamental
rights and freedom, impartiality, discipline and professionalism.
 Values of a member of Harambe-Cameroon: The core values of HarambeCameroon are listed below in order of importance, starting with the most essential
one
Positive Attitude: Think “solutions” all the time you face a problem within the organization
and outside. Cultivate a “can-do” attitude and foster a collaborative, inclusive and mutually
supportive environment.
Service: In John F. Kennedy’s words, “Don’t ask what your country can do for you; ask what
you can do for your country.” Ask what you can do for your community. Ask what you can do
for your family, for your colleagues, for Harambe-Cameroon. Harambe-Cameroon believes in
service towards others, towards ideals and causes that are not self-centred.
o Empowerment:Challenge, inspire, and engage people to give the best of
themselves. To find their passions, talents, mission, and act upon it.
o Boldness: Take initiatives. Create opportunities where there are none. Seize
the moment. Dare to act.
o Persistence: Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent
will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talents.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone
are omnipotent. The slogan “Press on!” Has solved and shall always solve
the
problems
of
the
human
race.
ii.
Traceable records
 Bi-weekly Report:
A report on activities carried out by ambassadors is sent every two weeks at the
weekend by each ambassador to his/her representative point who in turn will
submit the complete file to each member in a single document by grouping all the
files together.
 Sharing on social network
Ambassadors should share their weekly stories to Harambe-Cameroon for
posting on Harambe’s Facebook page and Twitter to promote their actions and
those for the association in the Cameroonian community and the rest of the
world. Volunteers should also share posts from Harambe website, and be active

ambassador’s deliverables.
