Highlights
- In Cameroon, 3.4 million people, including 1.9 million children, require urgent humanitarian assistance due to complex and mutifaceted crises: armed conflict, intercommunal violence, disease outbreaks, and climate shocks. These crises lead to forced displacement, human rights violations, disruption of social cohesion and negatively impact access to basic services. UNICEF will enhance localization and accountability to affected populations in its humanitarian response, enhance emergency preparedness, expand its field presence, and prioritize community engagement and gender equality. UNICEF and partners will implement a targeted and multi-sectoral approach to effectively address diverse needs.
- UNICEF requires $70.5 million to reach over 1.3 million vulnerable people, including 1 million children. UNICEF will support access to education in emergencies, treatment for malnutrition, access to safe drinking water and sanitation, primary healthcare and immunization, and psychosocial support services. The highest levels of resources will be dedicated to interventions in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), child protection and education.
