Some 65% of children in the North-West Region are (OIM, June 2020) unvaccinated and 47% in the South-West. 123,489 Returnees in the Far North (IOM, June 2020) UNICEF’s Response and Funding Status SAM admissions 72% * UNICEF Appeal 2020 Funding Status (in US$) * Nutrition Funding status 2% * Measles vaccination 14% Requirement: $45.5m Available $7.2m (16%) Health Funding status 6% Safe water access 33% WASH Funding status 21% Carry- forward MHPSS access 56% US$ 3.4 M Received Child Funding status 26% US$ 3.8M Protection Funding gap Education access 38% US$ 38.2M Funding status 7% Education 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% *achieved through non-HAC funding sources 1 Funding Overview and Partnerships In 2020 UNICEF is appealing for US$ 45,445,000 in support of lifesaving and protection-based response for children and women in Cameroon. As of 30 September, UNICEF has received US$ 3,800,000 against this humanitarian requirement from the following donors: Japanese government, Swedish SIDA, UN CERF and ECHO. UNICEF expresses its continuing appreciation to these donors for their support. However, the 84% shortfall continues to seriously limit program response. If not resolved, the scenario of staffing cutbacks becomes more likely.1 In May, considering the consequences of under-funding for children in emergency need in Cameroon, UNICEF issued a ‘Donor Alert’ to Yaounde embassies and donor representatives highlighting critical life-saving and protection-based activities to be implemented over the next five months (May-Sept), for which $10,608,000 is urgently required for displaced, refugee and returnee and host community children. Vital activities have been curtailed for lack of funding including measles vaccination, access to lifesaving essential drugs, support for safe water and sanitation and mental health and psychosocial services. The impact of underfunding is further noted in the sector progress reports below. Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs The onset in early March of the COVID-19 pandemic in Cameroon introduced new threats to children and vulnerable communities with humanitarian response immediately complicated by restrictions on group events and movement. An additional 2.3 million people were estimated to be in need of humanitarian assistance due to the impact of COVID- 19, bringing the total number of people in need from 3.9 million prior to the COVID-19 outbreak to 6.2 million. This was reflected in the updated Cameroon HRP, issued in early June. The requirement includes over three million children in need of urgent humanitarian assistance as a consequence of violence and conflict, disease outbreaks including measles, cholera and the COVID-19 pandemic. Continuing armed confrontations in September displaced over 1,906 people across the North-West and the South- West regions. Concurrently, 2,729 IDPs returned to the North-West and the South-West regions due to the perceived poor living conditions in the location of displacement and perceptions of security improvements in their areas of origin. Lockdowns and sporadic clashes between both parties of the conflict restricted the access especially to and in Bamenda, leaving project locations cut off from supplies or support. Implementing partners are facing greater threats from NSAGs due to looming suspicion of spying for the Government. Since early September, flooding across Far North region has reportedly displaced up to 160,000 people (CRC, September 2020). Heavy rains fell, especially in Logone et Chari and Mayo-Danay divisions damaging and destroying houses, cultivated areas, roads and bridges and further reducing access to services Assessed needs were prioritized as shelter, medical care, protection and food security. Civilians remain the first victims of Boko Haram attacks (violence, kidnapping and looting) mostly cross-border in origin. The epicenter of violence is shifting from Logone-and-Chari to Mayo-Sava department. Presently there are over 150,000 children displaced by the violence and children are particularly vulnerable. On 9 September, 6 children were injured by UXO’s they found and mistook for toys in the bush in the Mayo-Tsanaga. On 24 September a group of international NGOs issued a statement deploring the absence of donor support to a forgotten, multi-layered humanitarian crisis. Summary Analysis of Response Nutrition2 Boko Haram Violence (Lake Chad Basin Crisis) In the Far-North region, UNICEF worked collaboratively with the Regional Delegation of the Ministry of Public Health and NGO partners ALIMA, HKI, IEDA, ACF, IMC to ensure the availability and access for the treatment of severe acute malnutrition in 366 health centres with the provision of nutrition supplies (RUTF, therapeutic milk, essential drugs) and WASH kits. Over 2,722 children aged 6 to 59 months including 46 Nigerian refugee children from Minawao camp were admitted to these UNICEF-supported health centres for treatment. Following the community training of mothers on how to detect malnutrition in their children with MUAC tapes and oedema measurements, out of the 43,647 children from 6 to 59 months screened, 306 were screened using this method. Of the total screened, 424 SAM 1 In parallel, against a COVID-19 response requirement of US$24,007,500 as presented in the UNICEF global COVID-19 HAC, US$16,271,528 has been received. 2 Due to the reporting system of the ministry, the admission data of the concerned month is reported in the following month (i.e. April data are reported in May). 2 (severe acute malnutrition) cases were detected with 2,031 cases of MAM (moderate acute malnutrition). All were referred for treatment. UNICEF partners and Health District services pursued the joint community-based prevention of malnutrition (IYCF) and COVID-19 reaching 12,404 (10,328 women and 2,076 men) caregivers. In 9 health districts (Maroua 1,2,3, Mokolo, Guidigis, Kaele, Karhay, Mindif and Moutourwa) 69,404 children aged 6-23 months were enrolled in the Home-based food fortification programme and each receiving a micronutrient powder sachet every other day. In response to flood-induced displacements, UNICEF and nutrition sector partners work collaboratively to ensure referral to the nearest accessible nutrition services. North-West/South-West Crisis UNICEF partners (Reach Out, CBCHS, Mentor, Caritas) screened 37,632 (19,066 girls and 18,566 boys) children, among whom 96 (0.2%) were identified with SAM and referred to the 15 UNICEF supported health facilities for treatment. UNICEF partners sensitised 26,248 (17,312 women and 8,936 men) caregivers on key messages on infant and young child feeding practices and COVID-19. In Mutengene (Fako division), from 2nd – 4th of September 2020, 40 health workers received a joint training on SAM Management and COVID-19 specific modules on nutrition. UNICEF also supported the community training of 2,378 caregivers on detection and referral of children suffering from SAM to treatment services. Health Boko Haram Violence (Lake Chad Basin Crisis) UNICEF conducted the training of 90 health workers in 7 health districts and 156 community health workers in 3 health districts on IPC and COVID-19 prevention (Moulvoudaye and Maroua 3 health districts). From 18 to 20 September 2020, UNICEF supported the 1st round of the Local Immunization Days mOPV with over 96% of the targeted children aged 0-59 months vaccinated (2,137,119). North-West/South-West Crisis UNICEF partners Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services (CBCHS), CARITAS Bamenda, CARITAS Kumba and CARITAS Mamfe supported the delivery of basic health services to internally displaced persons and host communities in hard to reach areas in 11 health districts in North-West and South-West regions. A total of 8,095 children 6-59 months were vaccinated with routine vaccination against the most prevalent child killing diseases, including 2,080 children who received MR (measles/rubella) vaccination. Also, 3,123 children received Vitamin A supplementation and 2,331 children received a deworming tablet. 3,411 children (1,519 males and 1,892 females) were provided with anti-malaria drugs. 1,741 children (692 boys and 1,049 girls) were treated for ARIs and 452 children ( 201 boys and 251 girls) were treated for diarrhoea and 6,128 households received treated mosquito nets. Mapping of measles immunization coverage for children under five years old financed by UNICEF (AVS, PIRI for the NWSW) WASH North-West/South-West Crisis 3 UNICEF partner EPDA facilitated access to basic sanitation for 8,300 people through the construction of 42 latrines (2 cabins each). Education Boko Haram Violence (Lake Chad Basin Crisis) UNICEF mobilised teaching and learning equipment (school tents, learning materials, and hygiene materials) to allow more than 5,000 flood affected children to safely resume school starting October 5. Parallelly, UNICEF pursued its advocacy in mobilizing towards the mobilization of education sector actors for COVID-19 safe-school protocols.

  • 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.

  • Needs Assessment Report Far North Region, Cameroon February 2016 Executive Summary
    NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT FAR NORTH REGION, CAMEROON FEBRUARY 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to the unfolding humanitarian crisis in the Far North region of Cameroon, the IRC decided to undertake a multi-sector assessment in accessible départements of the region to better understand the humanitarian needs of the displaced, returning and host population. An assessment mission, led by the IRC’s Emergency Response Team was deployed to Cameroon on January 20th, 2015. The assessment used a household, vendor survey and key informant interviews to collect information on the needs, experiences and protection risks facing the displaced, returnee and host populations in five arrondissements within the Far North Region: Maoura III, Pétté, Mokolo, Tokombéré and Mora. Over the course of seven days of data collection, the assessment team spoke with 664 households, 145 vendors and 62 key informants across 57 locations. Of the households surveyed, 80% of the respondents self-identified as internally displaced, 11% as returnees and 9% as members of the host communities. The majority of displaced and returnee households have been in their present location for more than six months and have the intention to stay for the foreseeable future. Findings suggest that the conflict-affected population within the assessed areas are facing severe resource limitations, reduced access to basic services and potentially high levels of stress and trauma. • A majority of households reported not having adequate resources to feed their families. Equally, households expressed difficulty in meeting water needs and accessing healthcare and education. The largest barrier to accessing services is cost or lack of financial resources.

We then assume that, conditionally on a zero-mean spatial Gaussian process S(x), the Yi are mutually independent Binomial variables with probability of testing positive p(xi) such that ( ) = + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) 1 ( ) � � 0 1 2 3 4 5 − + ( ) + ( ) 6 where the explanatory in the above equation are, in order, fraction of clay, distance (in meters) to stable light (DSTL), distance to water bodies (DSTW), elevation (E), precipitation(Prec) (in mm) and fraction of silt at location xi. We model the Gaussian process S(x) using an isotropic and stationary exponential covariance function given by { ( ), ( )} = { || ||/ } 2 ′ − − ′ Where || ||is the Euclidean distance between x and x’, is the variance of S(x) and 2 is a scale − pa′rameter that regulates how fast the spatial correlation decays to zero for increasing distance. To check the validity of the adopted exponential correlation function for the spatial random effects S(x), we carry out the following Monte Carlo algorithm. 1. Simulate a binomial geostatistical data-set at observed locations xi by plugging-in the maximum likelihood estimates from the fitted model. 2. Estimate the unstructured random effects Zi from a non-spatial binomial mixed model obtained by setting S(x) =0 for all locations x. 3. Use the estimates for Zi from the previous step to compute the empirical variogram. 4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for 10,000 times.
