Who is ACMS?
The Association Camerounaise pour le Marketing Social (ACMS) is a nongovernmental organization incorporated under Cameroonian law, whose principal mission is to achieve sustainable and measurable improvements in the social situation of the Cameroonian population, and to promote the health and prosperity of families.

For over twenty-five years, ACMS has been providing the Cameroonian population with comprehensive, evidence-based public health interventions, including programs in reproductive health, malaria control, HIV and hepatitis, among others.
