Ales' Contribution to Case Managment of Buruli Ulcer ALES' CONTRIBUTION TO CASE MANAGMENT OF BURULI ULCER IN AFRICA Dr Alphonse Um Boock CONTENTS •INTRODUCTION • BURULI ULCER IN THE TARGET COUNTRIES • ALES' SUPPORT •IMPACT •CONCLUSION INTRODUCTION • ALES, which was set up in 1959, is a founding member of ILEP. • It is an NGO with a deep commitment to controlling the most neglected diseases and those who are left aside. • Leprosy , tuberculosis and more recently Buruli ulcer to cite but a few, are mainly responsible for the suffering we seek to relieve. INTRODUCTION • A half century of unstinting effort to control leprosy in several countries in the world, including Cameroon and the Central African Republic in Africa. • For almost six years now, ALES has been concerning itself with the suffering of Buruli ulcer patients in Cameroon , the Central African Republic and soon, Gabon. THE BURULI ULCER SITUATION IN THE TARGET COUNTRIES 1. CAMEROON 2. GABON 3.

OUTLOOK 2006 For Cameroon: • Consolidate achievements • Improve case management in the new treatment centres. • Strengthen disease surveillance • Early case detection • Training for community intermediaries • Programme follow-up (home visits…). OUTLOOK 2006 For the Central African Republic: • Training for health workers • Disease surveillance OUTLOOK 2006 For the republic of Gabon • Technical and financial support to develop the national programme, focusing on: 9 Training for health workers 9 Development of a primary health-care system in Moyen-Ogooue 9 Improving the case confirmation capacity of the reference laboratory. 9 Treatment of patients 9 Disease surveillances CONCLUSION Provision of case management for Buruli ulcer is still a major concern for the national authorities. • In Cameroon, where expected annual incidence is 4922 NC and where 3 281 040 people are at risk, less than 10 % actually receive case management. • Firmly establishing the control effort in the district undoubtedly marks a turning point in case management of the disease. • In the CAR, the disease is under intense surveillance. • In the Republic of Gabon ALES intends to support the development of control activities..

    International Union for the Conservation of Nature Country: Cameroon PROJECT DOCUMENT Project Title: Supporting Landscape Restoration and Sustainable Use of local plant species and tree products (Bambusa ssp, Irvingia spp, etc) for Biodiversity Conservation, Sustainable Livelihoods and Emissions Reduction in Cameroon BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT The Republic of Cameroon has a diverse ecological landscape, earning her the title “Africa in Miniature”. The southern portions of Cameroon’s forests are part of the Congo Basin forest ecosystem, the second largest remaining contiguous block of rainforest on Earth, after the Amazon. In addition to extensive Mangrove belts, Cameroon also holds significant portions of the Lower Guinea Forest Ecosystems and zones of endemism extending into densely settled portions of the Western Highlands and Montagne forests. The North of the country comprising the Dry Sudano-Sahelian Savannah Zones is rich in wildlife, and home to dense human and livestock populations. Much of the population residing in these areas lives in extreme poverty. This diversity in biomes makes Cameroon one of the most important and unique hotspots for biodiversity in Africa. However, human population growth, migrations, livelihoods strategies, rudimentary technologies and unsustainable land use for agriculture and small-scale forestry, energy and livestock, are contributing to biodiversity loss and landscape degradation in Cameroon. Despite strong institutional frameworks, forest and environmental policies/legislation, and a human resource capital, Cameroon’s network of biomes that include all types of forests, tree-systems, savannahs, agricultural mosaics, drylands, etc., are progresively confronted by various forms of degradation. Degradation, which is progressive loss of ecosystem functions (food sources, water quality and availability, biodversity, soil fertility, etc), now threatens the livelihoods of millions of Cameroonians, especially vulnerable groups like women, children and indigenous populations.

  • Land Use and Land Cover Changes in the Centre Region of Cameroon
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 18 February 2020 Land Use and Land Cover changes in the Centre Region of Cameroon Tchindjang Mesmin; Saha Frédéric, Voundi Eric, Mbevo Fendoung Philippes, Ngo Makak Rose, Issan Ismaël and Tchoumbou Frédéric Sédric * Correspondence: Tchindjang Mesmin, Lecturer, University of Yaoundé 1 and scientific Coordinator of Global Mapping and Environmental Monitoring [email protected] Saha Frédéric, PhD student of the University of Yaoundé 1 and project manager of Global Mapping and Environmental Monitoring [email protected] Voundi Eric, PhD student of the University of Yaoundé 1 and technical manager of Global Mapping and Environmental Monitoring [email protected] Mbevo Fendoung Philippes PhD student of the University of Yaoundé 1 and internship at University of Liège Belgium; [email protected] Ngo Makak Rose, MSC, GIS and remote sensing specialist at Global Mapping and Environmental Monitoring; [email protected] Issan Ismaël, MSC and GIS specialist, [email protected] Tchoumbou Kemeni Frédéric Sédric MSC, database specialist, [email protected] Abstract: Cameroon territory is experiencing significant land use and land cover (LULC) changes since its independence in 1960. But the main relevant impacts are recorded since 1990 due to intensification of agricultural activities and urbanization. LULC effects and dynamics vary from one region to another according to the type of vegetation cover and activities. Using remote sensing, GIS and subsidiary data, this paper attempted to model the land use and land cover (LULC) change in the Centre Region of Cameroon that host Yaoundé metropolis. The rapid expansion of the city of Yaoundé drives to the land conversion with farmland intensification and forest depletion accelerating the rate at which land use and land cover (LULC) transformations take place.

  • TABANIDÆ DU CAMEROUN FRANÇAIS Par Jean RAGEAU, Paul GRENIER Et Jean-Paul ADAM
    TABANIDÆ DU CAMEROUN FRANÇAIS Par Jean RAGEAU, Paul GRENIER et Jean-Paul ADAM L’importance que présente l’étude des Tabanidæ en relation avec la transmission mécanique des trypanosomes pathogènes a été sou­ lignée par la Conférence Inter africaine sur la Tsé-tsé et la Trypano­ somiase, tenue à Brazzaville (A.E.F.), en février 1948. A la suite d’une suggestion du Professeur P.-A. Buxton, le British Muséum (Natural History) a chargé H. Oldroyd de réaliser une monographie des Tabanidæ de la Région éthiopienne, dont le premier volume (Hæmatopota et Hippocentrum) a paru en 1952 et le deuxième (Ta­ banus s. l. et Thaumastocera) en 1954. Il en est résulté un renouveau d’intérêt pour ces Diptères dont l’étude, relativement poussée dans la décade qui précéda la première guerre mondiale, avait été négligée depuis au profit d’autres grou­ pes : Glossines, Moustiques, etc.. Dès 1948, nous avons entrepris l’observation et la récolte systé­ matique des Tabanidæ du Cameroun français et nous avons adressé nos collections à H. Oldroyd qui nous les a très obligeamment déter­ minées. Cependant, Harant et Brygoo (1949), puis Brygoo (1950) publiaient une liste d’une vingtaine d’espèces provenant presque toutes d’Ayos, dans la région du Haut-Nyong. Bien auparavant, Gravot [in Martin, Lebœuf et Roubaud (1909)] avait cité dix espèces dans le Sud-Cameroun, et Ziemann (1911) avait mentionné l’existence de vingt et une espèces d’après les déter­ minations de Grünberg. Entre la première guerre mondiale et 1949, aucun travail ne semble avoir été publié sur les Tabanidæ du Ca­ meroun, bien que quelques espèces aient été incidemment citées par Rousseau (1920), Jojot (1921) et Guibert (1937), à l’occasion d’étu­ des sur la maladie du sommeil et les filarioses.
