INTRODUCTION 1.01 East Cameroon and West Cameroon gained independence in 1960 and 1961 respectively, and united to become a Federal state in October 1961. Part of the task of unifying the country involved the improvement of the transport links between the important population centers of the country, and to stimulate and support the evolving integration of the national economy. A further task was to establish administrative responsibilities and strengthen the institutions responsible for transport. The objective of the Government of Cameroon through its five year development plans and of the Bank Group through its lending program has been to accomplish these tasks. Considerable progress in upgrading the transport system has been made over the past two decades since the country was formed; however, much slower progress has been made in developing its transport institutions. 1.02 Bank Group assistance in carrying out the above tasks has been made available to most parts of the transport sector. 1./ In 1964, the Bank provided a Technical Assistance grant of US$200,000 for feasibility studies of two key roads followed in 1968 by an Engineering Credit of US$600,000 for detailed engineering of these roads. These pre-investment studies led to the preparation of the First Highway Project in 1970 followed by the Second and Third Highway Projects in 1973 and 1978, respectively. A Fourth Highway Project was approved in 1979 and a Fifth is currently under preparation. The Bank Group has also provided funding for four railway projects and two port projects as well as one feeder road project. In all, since 1964, the Bank Group has provided a total of US$226.5 million in loans, credits and grants to Cameroon for the transport sector. 1.03 The improvement of the 2,000 km rail/road Transcameroon route extending from the port of Douala north to the Chad border has been a high priority objective in the development of the country's transport system since the early 1960s. The route not only connects the country's main port and its capital Yaounde to the heavily populated and highly productive northern provinces but provides access to the southwestern part of Chad and serves as a secondary route to CAR. The existing railway from Douala to Yaounde and on to Belabo was extended to Ngaoundere during the early 1970s with the assistance ]:_I See Cameroon Transport Sector Memorandum dated June 6, 1980 - Report No. 3030-CM - for an overall review of the sector. - 2 - of FAC, FED, USAID and EIB. The improvement of the existing road from Ngaoun­ dere to Garoua was a major component in the First Highway Project and the continuation of this road from Garoua to Mora was included in the Second Highway Project and completed in mid 1979 under the Third Highway Project, The remaining section of road from Mora to Kousseri near the Chad border was completed in 1972 with the assistance of KfW. 1.04 Another high priority improvement was the completion of the road linking Douala to Victoria via Tiko and the improvement of the road between Douala and the highly productive and populous hinterland of western Cameroon. The Tiko-Victoria section was completed under the First Highway Project, while reconstruction of most parts of the road from Douala to Bafoussam and Foumban was included in the Second Highway Project.

While some consider it as a Bantu or a semi-Bantu website at http://www.nalrc.indiana.edu/ language, others prefer to in-clude Bamileke in the Niger-Congo group. Bamileke is not an unique language. It seems that Bamileke Medumba stems from ancient Egyptian and is a root language for many other Bamileke variants. The Bamiléké languages, which are tonal, belong to the Grasslands Bantu Group of the Broad Bantu languages. Nearly every Bamileke kindom names its own dialect as a separate language. Bamiléké languages are not al-ways mutually intelligible between bordering kingdoms. The Bamileke are renowned for their skilled craftsmenship. Bamileke are particularly celebrated carvers in wood, ivory, and horn. Chief’s compounds are notable for their intricately carved door frames and columns. Much of the art produced by the Bamileke tribes are associated with NATIONAL AFRICAN royal ceremonies. Beadwork and masks are common in this LANGUAGE RESOURCE tribe. Even the king may put on a mask for an appearance at a CENTER (NALRC) Kuosi celebration which is a public dance held every other year as a display of the kingdom’s wealth.

    1. General Overview

    Report Multi-Sector Rapid Assessment in the West and Littoral Regions Format Cameroon, 25-29 September 2018 1. GENERAL OVERVIEW a) Background What? The humanitarian crisis affecting the North-West and the South-West Regions has a growing impact in the bordering regions of West and Littoral. Since April 2018, there has been a proliferation of non-state armed groups (NSAG) and intensification of confrontations between NSAG and the state armed forces. As of 1st October, an estimated 350,000 people are displaced 246,000 in the South-West and 104,000 in the North-West; with a potential increment due to escalation in hostilities. Why? An increasing number of families are leaving these regions to take refuge in Littoral and the West Regions following disruption of livelihoods and agricultural activities. Children are particularly affected due to destruction or closure of schools and the “No School” policy ordered by NSAG since 2016. The situation has considerably evolved in the past three months because of: i) the anticipated security flashpoints (the start of the school year, the “October 1st anniversary” and the elections); ii) the increasing restriction of movement (curfew extended in the North-West, “No Movement Policy” issued by non-state actors; and iii) increase in both official and informal checkpoints. Consequently, there has been a major increase in the number of people leaving the two regions to seek safety and/or to access economic and educational opportunities. Preliminary findings indicate that IDPs are facing similar difficulties and humanitarian needs than the one reported in the North-West and the South-West regions following the multisectoral needs assessment done in March 2018.

Moyd, Indiana University Professor Martin Murray © George Ndakwena Njung 2016 Dedication My mom, Fientih Kuoh, who never went to school; My wife, Esther; My kids, Kelsy, Michelle and George Jr. ii Acknowledgments When in the fall of 2011 I started the doctoral program in history at Michigan, I had a personal commitment and determination to finish in five years. I wanted to accomplish in reality a dream that began since 1995 when I first set foot in a university classroom for my undergraduate studies. I have met and interacted with many people along this journey, and without the support and collaboration of these individuals, my dream would be in abeyance. Of course, I can write ten pages here and still not be able to acknowledge all those individuals who are an integral part of my success story. But, the disservice of trying to acknowledge everybody and end up omitting some names is greater than the one of electing to acknowledge only a few by name. Those whose names are omitted must forgive my short memory and parsimony with words and names. To begin with, Professors Emmanuel Konde, Nicodemus Awasom, Drs Canute Ngwa, Mbu Ettangondop (deceased), wrote me outstanding references for my Ph.D.

Abstract Geohelminth infections, such as Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and Hookworms are major public health concerns. These helminths distributed throughout the world with high prevalence in poor and socio-economically deprived communities in the tropics and subtropics cause morbidity and sometimes death. Our study aimed at evaluating the prevalence and intensity of infection of geohelminths and the risk factor in Bandjoun, West Region of Cameroon. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were carried out on three hundred and fifteen (315) stool samples collected from residents using the simple centrifugal flotation and McMaster count Ascaris lumbricoides technique respectively. Out of the 315 samples examined, twenty-one (6.7%) were infected with the eggs of at least one helminth Trichuris trichiura A. lumbricoides and parasite with prevalence and intensities of infection of 6.7% and 6971.4286 ±14662.4228 for and 0.3% and 50 T.

    China in Cameroon's Forests

    China in Cameroon’s forests A review of issues and progress for livelihoods and sustainability James Mayers, Samuel Nguiffo and Samuel Assembe-Mvondo This research report has been prepared as part of the China-Africa Forest Governance Project – a multi-country project that seeks to improve forest governance, by promoting sustainable and pro-poor Chinese trade and investment in Africa’s forest. Through research, dialogue and joint action with partners in China, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique and Uganda, the project contributes to improved policy and investment practice in China and Africa, in ways that foster good stewardship of forest resources and benefit local communities. The project is run by IIED with support from the UK government and partnerships with WWF and in-country practitioner teams with a strong track record of governance and enterprise engagement. Country reports, as well as other thematic and sectoral research products, on the state of Chinese investments in African land use are free to download at pubs.iied.org. For more information visit www.iied.org/china-africa-forest-governance-project. The China-Africa Forest Governance Platform, launched in 2013, is now a well-recognised multi-stakeholder forum which strengthens mutual understanding, partnerships and joint actions on forest governance between China and Africa. Platform participants have also had influence in key international policy arenas. While the China- Africa Forest Governance Project has been the main supporter of the platform to date, other organisations continue to increase their involvement. The platform has thus far brought together forest governance players, including heads of government forest departments from nine African countries; representatives from the Chinese Academy of Forestry; the Global Environmental Institute; the International Institute for Environment and Development; the World Wide Fund for Nature; and other international organisations.
