After a careful study of the Cameroon family code draft document by the government, ten Civil Society Organizations (CSO) including NCIG represented by Mrs. Gospel Nti, decided to come together to put a base for lobby and advocacy for its adoption in the next parliamentary sitting. This led to the two day workshop organized on the 2nd and 3rd of November 2011, in Yaounde at Hotel "Le Tango". Participants involved where representatives from the ten CSO's from all the ten region of the country, a parliamentarian and the Resident Director of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation who solely sponsored the event.

             The family code document reiterated on the fact that polygamy should not be encouraged within our society because it comes with a lot of disadvantages; the kids don't have as much one on one time with their dad, the wives may have to assume some of the financial supportive roles, and also there is a lot of social resentment from those who oppose it, this may leave the family in an unstable condition. The code also stressed that in case of polygamy the husband has to treat his wives with respect and provide them with accommodation within a distance, he has to concern to all his kids providing them with everything necessary for their upbringing.

              At the end of the workshop, CSO's were encouraged to sensitize their communities on the Cameroon Family Code and also to advocate for the adoption of the family code in the next presidential sitting.
