The International Center for Promotion of Enterprises (ICPE) has established cooperation with EKCÖLAB, a nonprofit, youth-led and research-oriented organisation based in Buea, Cameroon. EKCÖLAB works in the fields of water, environment, climate resilience, community empowerment, and related research and implementation activities.
The cooperation reflects the shared interest of ICPE and EKCÖLAB in advancing practical, locally relevant solutions in areas such as water sustainability, WASH, environmental monitoring, climate resilience, community capacity development, and technology transfer. It provides a framework for knowledge exchange, stakeholder engagement, pilot project development, and capacity-building activities in developing countries and other partner environments.
Through this cooperation, the Parties will seek to identify opportunities for joint initiatives, including the development of pilot activities, exchange of technical knowledge and good practices, and preparation of cooperation proposals where mutually relevant. ICPE will contribute through its international network, institutional linkages, and programme activities, while EKCÖLAB will provide local, thematic, and operational inputs, including support for stakeholder outreach, field-level coordination, and community-based implementation.
