INTRODUCTION:
Jeunesse Musicales International is the World’s largest youth and musical
Network with 66 years of working experience. With its headquarters in Belgium,
it has current member organizations in 45 countries, contacts organizations in
another 35 countries with CULTURAL REGENERATION being its representative in
Cameroon and the Central African Region.
MISSION:
It has as mission to help young people develop through music using its
international projects like Jazz Camps, Ethno Camps, Young Audience, World
Youth Choir, Imagine Festivals and FAIR PLAY.
PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION:
Jeunesse Musicales International (JMI) collaborating with the World Bank
Institute gets its members worldwide to partner with the project so as to get
young music minds involved in the project. It begins with the creation of the
project’s website where every information concerning the project can be gotten.
The youths are involved using the means available. In Cameroon, we go to
school, churches, Radio and T.V Stations,posters,use the internet (emails) and
also by word of mouth. Young musicians and bands who catches the vision move
straight to work by composing and coming up with video tracts on anti-
corruption. The videos are then uploaded to the project’s website for online
voting. At the end of this process, the best three videos are selected by the Jury
being put in place by JMI and the World Bank Institute. They are given the
opportunity to perform a live concert in a chosen country organized by JMI and
the World Bank Institute. Furthermore they are also given an opportunity to a
studio production which put them on an advantage to meet and share ideas with
World Class established music Icons. At this point, they are exposed to
international media hence an occasion for them to be heard and seen world wide
meeting up with JMI’s mission to develop young people through music. The
target group of the project are the youths because they are considered to be
leaders of tomorrow. Therefore they should be schooled to shun corruptive
practices.
PURPOSE AND NEEDS:
The main purpose of the project is to change the mind set of the population of
the world towards embracing basic virtues like integrity, transparency,
accountability and honesty in order to guarantee societies where each individual
could perform his/her innate responsibility to God and to humanity.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:

3. There is so much tears in the eyes of individuals and families due to the
devastating effects of corruption. Individuals especially in rural areas have been
denied access to good health, potable water, goad roads and quality education
because they do not have someone to speak for them in government offices.
Corruption causes unemployment, poverty and general hardship, a function of
the fact that the wealth of our nation is being embezzled by just a few powerful
capitalists politicians, administrators, the civil society and even the clergy. A case
in point is Africa where 60 % of the population still live below the poverty line
while their leaders live in affluence and magnificent with thousands of dollars in
their bank accounts. In Cameroon for instance, according to the recent IMF
report for 2011, 40 % of its inhabitants are unemployed while a couple of
leaders languish in various prisons across the country for embezzling billions of
FRS CFA stocked in foreign banks. However, corruption is manifested in every
area of our life i.e. in schools, government offices, banks, hospitals, shops, family
just to name a few.
RATIONALE:
From time immemorial, music has always been a vehicle of mobilization towards
behavioral change and change of mentality. The pivotal role of music in the
dismantling of appetite in South Africa cannot be over emphasized. Equally,
music has been instrumental in the breaking down of socio-cultural and racial
barriers in the history of America. It can therefore not be denied that with the
vision FIAR PLAY has and being consistent and systematic as it is, stands a great
chance of breaking the vice of corruption to a very wide margin and inspire
positive change. Culreg could not resist being a tool in this success story.
RESULTS:
- There have been increased love and peaceful coexistence as individuals
tend to realize the essence of living.
- It has promoted basic values of truth and better accountability.
- A great number of Cameroonian youths were touched about 100.000 of
them.
- The corruption song is now very popular in Cameroon as youths who were
able to catch the corruption message stick to it. The corruption song was
sang in English, French and the local pidgin languages respectively so that
every Cameroonian could get the corruption message.
- We get some of the group a video link on YouTube (culreg One Heart)
