About Us

WHO WE ARE

The Anglophone Cameroon Cultural and Development Association (ACCADA) formerly known as Cameroon Anglophone Association Hamburg (CAAH), is a non-profit, non-governmental association that was founded in January 1998 by students from the anglophone region of Cameroon, residing and studying in Hamburg, Germany. Although initially limited to students, the association has since evolved and expanded its membership to all Cameroonians from the English-speaking region of Cameroon and well-wishers that share its goals and aspirations.

The seat of ACCADA is in Hamburg, Germany, and the associationโ€™s goals are charitable and accomplished exclusively under chapter 3 of the German tax code (Steuerbegรผnstigte Zwecke ยงยง 51 ff. AO).
