The Rural Development Centre (RUDEC), which started in the South West Province in 2001, is the idea of one man, Chiamba Joshua Anyeah. RUDEC became a reality in the North West Province, in Belo, in 2005 and was registered in February 2006 as a Common Initiative Group (CIG) - not for profit organisation. The idea for RUDEC came about as a means to create employment opportunities for Joshua and other Cameroonian youths. Joshua realised that by focussing on the needs of rural people, a centre such as RUDEC could empower and benefit local communities. Members are involved in grassroots participatory programs and are advocates of rural development in Belo and, in the future, the Boyo Division.

This Program is open to American, Australian, Canadian and Worldwide Participants.
