The natural environmental milieu has always been considered by man as an unlimited reserve of natural resources. This has led to his continuous exploitation of nature for food and other livelihood options, a practice which continues to have an unintended but damaging effect on the environment. The study suggests strategies for integrating community participation in Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Climate Action in Buea Sub- Division: The experience of the International Centre for Environmental Education and Community Development (ICENECDEV). Findings shows that NGOs concerned with management of environment have failed in their policies and activities with their target communities in environmental conservation making them ineffective in the introduction and follow-up of other income-generating activities. Findings also reveals that Local communities have signed Conservation Development Agreements with Park Service and are now actively collaborating in the protection and management of Parks, at the same time receiving development support in agriculture and infrastructure. Findings also shows that ICENEDEV uses various strategies and mechanisms in managing environmental resources in Buea Sub Division to combat climate change like promoting ecotourism, enhancing self-employment and the introduction of alternative income generating activities. Community members were however generally not very satisfied with these strategies as only 66 (40.0 percent) of them assessed them to be adequate. The local population considered NGOs as important partners as they are generally very receptive towards them 144 (89.4 percent). It is therefore recommended that participation should be taken as a two- way learning process of dialogue, negotiation and decision- making between NGOs and Local Communities concerning activities of environmental/ forest management.
