UNICEF has been working in Cameroon since 1975. For nearly 50 years, UNICEF has been one of the main contributors to the realisation of children's rights in Cameroon. We strive to leave no child behind. We focus on the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children to ensure that they have the best chance of a healthy life and a fulfilling childhood.

UNICEF is supporting the government at an upstream level in policy development through its Country Programme Cooperation Agreement 2022-2026. UNICEF operates centrally through its Yaounde Office.

At the decentralized level, UNICEF Cameroon has three sub-offices. In 2012, a UNICEF office was opened in Bertoua for the East and Adamawa regions, to respond to educational issues linked to the Baka community and Central African refugees.

UNICEF also has offices in the Far North (Maroua) and Southwest (Buea) Regions. UNICEF has an outreach post in the Northwest Region (Bamenda) and a logistics hub in the Littoral Region (Douala).
