OCHA Field activities, Cameroon

About this project

Cameroon is affected by three simultaneous protection crises that are exacerbating the humanitarian situation of affected people. Increased violence in the Lake Chad Basin and in the North-West and South-West regions continues to cause internal displacement. Moreover, hundreds of refugees from the Central African Republic (CAR) have found shelter in the eastern regions of Cameroon and rely on life-saving and life-sustaining humanitarian assistance. Since 2015, humanitarian organizations have been jointly working with the Government to scale up the response in Cameroon. Office for the Coordination on Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) supports more than 170 humanitarian organizations that are providing emergency assistance to crisis-affected people. The main focus of the humanitarian response operation will continue to be providing life-saving assistance and protection to affected populations, promoting long-term voluntary and safe durable solutions when relevant and feasible, and strengthening early recovery and community resilience.
