The survey targeted the four vulnerable regions (Far North, North, Adamawa and East) to assess the nutritional status of children aged below five years old as well as infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. The preliminary report estimated 21,259 cases of severe acute malnutrition (SAM), and indicate that, on average, the prevalence of global acute malnutrition is close to 5% in the four regions. According to WHO 2006 standards, the situation can be classified as “serious” (≤1%) for SAM in the Far North, Adamawa and North regions. Detailed results and analysis will be presented in the final report. UNICEF continues to support the implementation of Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) activities. In the Far North region, from the 92 schools that were closed-down due to insecurity, 24 schools were reopened this academic year: 23 schools in Mayo Sava and one school in Mayo Tsanaga (Far North Regional Education Office, October 2018). UNICEF contributed to the reopening of these schools by playing an advocacy role towards the authorities. The remaining 68 schools are still closed due to the persisting insecurity: 34 in Mayo Sava, 18 in Mayo Tsanaga and 16 in Logone and Chari. According to the DTM (IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix Round 15, September 2018), in the Far North region, the number of IDPs increased by 7% and reached 244,347 people in September, as opposed to 227,581 people reported in June 2018. On the other hand, the number of returnees and unregistered refugees increased respectively by 9% (100,925 people) and 6% (41,763 people). From June to August, there was an increase of attacks reported in Mayo Sava and Logone and Chari divisions, compared with the period from March to May. This led people to be displaced in these divisions. In terms of the returnees back in Logone and Chari and Mayo Sava divisions, difficulties in accessing agricultural land or finding financial means to sustain their lives motivated people to return to these divisions. Furthermore, relative lull in attacks for the period from February to July encouraged displaced people to return to Mayo Tsanaga division. The cholera epidemic is still observed in the North and Far North regions. As of 23 November, a total of 942 cases and 57 deaths have been reported in Cameroon, out of which 595 cases with 40 deaths, and 268 cases and 16 deaths are reported respectively in the North and Far North regions, according to the Ministry of Public Health (Situation Report 23 November 2018). UNICEF periodically organises field missions in the affected areas in the North and Far North regions to provide support with the regional heath delegations in the cholera coordination and responses. In parallel, UNICEF continues sensitisation activities and distribution of WASH kits. Also in the Far North region, measles epidemic was declared in Kousseri health district in Logone and Chari division. As of November, 61 cases, including one death were reported (Ministry of Public Health, Situation Report 29 November 2018). In collaboration with the Far North Regional Health Delegation, UNICEF is preparing its intervention of providing vaccines and accessories items as well as supporting community social mobilisation. In the North West and South West regions, UNICEF has initiated programmes in health, WASH, child protection and communication for development to provide assistance, primarily through distribution of WASH kits and mosquito nets as well as child protection and sensitisation activities. Despite strong access constraints, UNICEF has reached more than 32,000 beneficiaries in all.

At the national level, UNICEF and the Government are co-leading the Nutrition, WASH and Education sectors, as well as the sub-sectoral group for Child Protection. At the field level, OCHA leads inter-sector coordination, which addresses particularly challenges and gaps both for refugees, IDPs and host communities in the Far North, while UNHCR oversees coordination in the regions of the East and Adamawa. In response to the crisis in the North West and South West, clusters have been activated and UNICEF is the lead for the WASH, Nutrition, Education clusters and the Child Protection sub-cluster. Humanitarian Strategy UNICEF’s integrated programme is based on four pillars: building a protective environment and supporting community peacebuilding; preventing and responding to the violence and exploitation of children; increasing access to basic services; and strengthening emergency preparedness and response systems. All four pillars bridge the humanitarian-development nexus and foster community resilience to outside pressures, such as conflict or population displacement, while supporting the State to anticipate and respond to shocks. UNICEF aims at strengthening collaboration between community-based structures and government services to provide care and protection to children, particularly the most marginalised. By supporting community dialogue mechanisms, inter- generational dialogue and non-violent relationships among peers, UNICEF works to foster social cohesion, giving children a voice and rebuilding community linkages. Recognizing that lack of access to basic services exposes children to vulnerabilities, UNICEF supports the Government to strengthen the quality of service delivery at the community level by training community workers and establishing needed infrastructure, improving access to water and sanitation in schools and health centres, developing community health mechanisms and improving the quality of education. Furthermore, UNICEF is working with non-governmental organisations and other partners to implement mechanisms for monitoring and responding to emergencies in a timely and effective manner. Summary Analysis of Programme Response UNICEF humanitarian assistance primarily focuses on IDPs, out-of-camp Nigerian refugees and host communities affected by the violence caused by armed groups as well as the refugees who fled the armed conflict in Central African Republic (CAR), and host communities.

  • Check Against Boko Haram Terrorist Recalcitrance Around the Lake

Abstract: With the emergence and the scary inhumane actions perpetrated by the terrorist Islamic sect, Boko Haram (BH) around the Lake Chad Basin region, it was certain that checking and annihilating this group would be a matter of a short breath following the military might, war experience of and the security sustaining interest of the inhabitant states. But the massive individual and collective state deployments to bring the phenomenon to book seemed ineffective, hence prolonging the supposedly short fight against these terror belligerents. Many scholars attribute the protracted resistance of the sect to the “asymmetrical” nature of the war, but this assumption has been waved away by many observers and critics of the issue. New approaches to the understanding of why BH and its activities have stayed obstinate to the sophisticated international and local diplomatic and military moves have becomes unavoidable. This paper, written on the basis of published and unpublished sources - actors, observers and eyewitness’s accounts for that matter – is a grass-root dimensional endeavor to the question.

  • B133 Cameroon's Far North Reconstruction Amid Ongoing Conflict
    Cameroon’s Far North: Reconstruction amid Ongoing Conflict &ULVLV*URXS$IULFD%ULHILQJ1 1DLUREL%UXVVHOV2FWREHU7UDQVODWHGIURP)UHQFK I. Overview Cameroon has been officially at war with Boko Haram since May 2014. Despite a gradual lowering in the conflict’s intensity, which peaked in 2014-2015, the contin- uing violence, combined with the sharp rise in the number of suicide attacks between May and August 2017, are reminders that the jihadist movement is by no means a spent force. Since May 2014, 2,000 civilians and soldiers have been killed, in addition to the more than 1,000 people kidnapped in the Far North region. Between 1,500 and 2,100 members of Boko Haram have reportedly been killed following clashes with the Cameroonian defence forces and vigilante groups. The fight against Boko Haram has exacerbated the already-delicate economic situation for the four million inhabitants of this regionௗ–ௗthe poorest part of the country even before the outbreak of the conflict. Nevertheless, the local population’s adaptability and resilience give the Cameroonian government and the country’s international partners the opportunity to implement development policies that take account of the diversity and fluidity of the traditional economies of this border region between Nigeria and Chad. The Far North of Cameroon is a veritable crossroads of trading routes and cultures. Besides commerce, the local economy is based on agriculture, livestock farming, fishing, tourism, transportation of goods, handcrafts and hunting. The informal sector is strong, and contraband rife. Wealthy merchants and traditional chiefsௗ–ௗoften members of the ruling party and high-ranking civil servantsௗ–ௗare significant economic actors.

  • Christian Churches and the Boko Haram Insurgency in Cameroon: Dilemmas and Responses
    religions Article Christian Churches and the Boko Haram Insurgency in Cameroon: Dilemmas and Responses Lang Michael Kpughe Department of History, Higher Teacher Training College, University of Bamenda, Bambili-Bamenda 39, Cameroon; [email protected] Received: 15 June 2017; Accepted: 1 August 2017; Published: 7 August 2017 Abstract: The spillover of the terrorist activities of Boko Haram, a Nigerian jihadi group, into Cameroon’s north has resulted in security challenges and humanitarian activity opportunities for Christian churches. The insurgents have attacked and destroyed churches, abducted Christians, worsened Muslim-Christian relations, and caused a humanitarian crisis. These ensuing phenomena have adversely affected Christian churches in this region, triggering an aura of responses: coping strategies, humanitarian work among refugees, and inter-faith dialogue. These responses are predicated on Christianity’s potential as a resource for peace, compassion, and love. In this study we emphasize the role of Christian churches in dealing with the Boko Haram insurgency. It opens with a presentation of the religious configuration of Cameroon, followed by a contextualization of Boko Haram insurgency in Cameroon’s north. The paper further examines the brutality meted out on Christians and church property. The final section is an examination of the spiritual, humanitarian, and relief services provided by churches. The paper argues that although Christian churches have suffered at the hands of Boko Haram insurgents, they have engaged in various beneficial responses underpinned by the Christian values of peace and love. Keywords: Cameroon; terrorism; religion; Islam; Boko Haram; Christian Churches; peace 1. Introduction There is a consensus in the available literature that all religions have within the practices ensuing from their foundational beliefs both violent and peaceful tendencies (Bercovitch and Kadayifci-Orellana 2009; Chapman 2007; Fox 1999).
