On 10 October, UNHCR, UNDP and UNICEF travelled by road from Buea to Mamfe town (Mamfe subdivision, Manyu division) located 64 km from the border with Nigeria. The mission objective was to conduct a security assessment of the road and the town, and to identify actors on the ground with potential to scale up humanitarian delivery through UN agency support, including UNICEF. The mission also identified potential accommodations facilities to enable future, longer-term missions. On 17 October, UNICEF, UNDP, OCHA and UNDSS conducted programme monitoring/assessment mission from Bamenda to Konye town and Diongo Centre (Konye subdivision, Meme division). Destruction was evident in the centre of Konye with part of the population displaced to the forest. The mission observed damaged and abandoned shops, houses including the government school and health centre. Konye District Hospital and Konye health centre were abandoned and vandalized. Although a functional health centre is 5 km away, people prefer to travel to Kumba town, 40 km from Konye, due to dilapidated road infrastructure including an unsafe bridge leading to the health center. There is a functional health centre in Diongo Centre, however it reported shortage of drugs. Though unverified, cases of unaccompanied children have been reported in both locations. Some humanitarian assistance is being provided in both locations, including UNICEF-supported WASH activities for Diongo Centre and mobile health services for IDPs in the adjacent forest since April. UNICEF together with clusters will investigate on ways in providing more comprehensive and adequate assistance. Needs in health and WASH sectors were identified as priorities, while further assessment is needed for child protection. In the North-West and South-West regions over 4,100 public primary schools and 744 secondary schools remained closed or non-operational, representing 90 per cent of public primary schools and 77 percent of public secondary schools. This is attributed mainly to the unavailability of teachers, or parents’ fear sending their children to school in an insecure environment or a combination of both. In the South-West Region, UNICEF observes higher attendance rates by both students and teachers. In North-West Region, despite an increase in attendance (from 31,000 children to 52,200) in primary and secondary schools as compared to the last school year, the educational situation remains extremely bad with an estimated 517,818 (91%) primary and secondary school aged children still out of school. Towards 2020 Education Cluster planning, cluster partners have proposed to target 70% of the estimated ‘People in Need’ – namely 656,000 (328,000 girls), including 333,000 with access to formal and non-formal education in 2020. To improve cluster-wide strategic education response for conflict affected adolescent school aged children, the cluster drafted an ‘Adolescent in Emergencies Strategy’, with the support of national level Education in Emergency (EIE) working group partners including from other clusters. The strategy aims at increasing relevant education opportunities for conflict affected adolescents in the North-West and South-West regions. On 18 October, the Education Cluster aligned its strategic objects of 1) improved psychosocial wellbeing of conflict affected children, 2) increased access to quality education through formal and/or non-formal learning for crisis affected children, 3) enhanced response capacity of the affected teachers, schools/learning environment and communities, and 4) improved safe learning environment in conflict affected areas. These objectives are embedded in the draft HRP 2020 overall goals of saving lives and alleviating suffering, supporting affected populations to meet their basic needs, enhancing the resilience of vulnerable populations, and improving the protection of civilians. Under the leadership of UNICEF an education needs assessment is being planned in Yaounde to identify the needs of urban IDPs. During the 29 October, Local Education Group (LEG) meeting in Yaounde, a platform coordinated by UNICEF under the Global Education Partnership, development partners were requested to coordinate with the Education Cluster when planning development interventions in the North-West and South-West regions. This recommendation was 2 made in view of conflict sensitivity and the risk level of education interventions which, if not considered, could compromise access to beneficiaries, and the safety of partners. In the Far North Region, an extended rainy season led to some of the most significant flooding in several years. Conditions had deteriorated in late September and grew progressively worse by mid-month. The localities of east (District of Zina) and south of Lake Maga (District of Kaï Kaï) were flooded when the Logone River burst its banks. UNICEF participated in a series of localized needs assessments undertaken by government, UN agencies, international and local NGOs to communities in the affected areas. Affected areas ranged over a distance of 150km from north to south. Though no deaths were reported, there were significant losses both in terms of infrastructure and material. Initial reports cited significant damage and destruction of houses and more than 47,000 hectares of rice and sorghum fields damaged. Around 40,000 people were reported directly affected in the districts of Zina (Logone and Chari), Maga and Kai-Kai (Mayo Danay) including 19,000 displaced according to OCHA, moving to higher ground along river dikes. Initial needs identified were access to health care, safe drinking water, hygiene and shelter as the most urgent areas for response. The flood impact on the next harvest is likely to be significant. Over 10 schools were reported damaged or destroyed. In initial response, UNICEF supplied WASH and Dignity Kits, water filters and aqua-tabs benefitting approximately 2,000 people, along with plastic sheeting for 200 households and support for the construction of 50 latrines. Additional emergency supplies were moved up from the Douala emergency warehouse for rapid distribution including water containers, chlorine, ECD kits, essential drugs, LLINs. Physical access was a major constraint with most of the affected villages reachable only by boat/pirogue with journeys of 4-5 hours. UNICEF is developing a 90-day plan for the response and early recovery. Priority concerns are the high risk of water borne diseases due to standing water and contamination. Child nutritional status will be at risk in coming months due to crops losses. In addition to the flooding crisis, the Far North region continues to register cholera cases. According to WHO, rapid access to treatment is essential during a cholera outbreak. Oral rehydration should be available in communities, in addition to larger treatment centres that can provide intravenous fluids

    Aerial Surveys of Wildlife and Human Activity Across the Bouba N’djida - Sena Oura - Benoue - Faro Landscape Northern Cameroon and Southwestern Chad April - May 2015 Paul Elkan, Roger Fotso, Chris Hamley, Soqui Mendiguetti, Paul Bour, Vailia Nguertou Alexandre, Iyah Ndjidda Emmanuel, Mbamba Jean Paul, Emmanuel Vounserbo, Etienne Bemadjim, Hensel Fopa Kueteyem and Kenmoe Georges Aime Wildlife Conservation Society Ministry of Forests and Wildlife (MINFOF) L'Ecole de Faune de Garoua Funded by the Great Elephant Census Paul G. Allen Foundation and WCS SUMMARY The Bouba N’djida - Sena Oura - Benoue - Faro Landscape is located in north Cameroon and extends into southwest Chad. It consists of Bouba N’djida, Sena Oura, Benoue and Faro National Parks, in addition to 25 safari hunting zones. Along with Zakouma NP in Chad and Waza NP in the Far North of Cameroon, the landscape represents one of the most important areas for savanna elephant conservation remaining in Central Africa. Aerial wildlife surveys in the landscape were first undertaken in 1977 by Van Lavieren and Esser (1979) focusing only on Bouba N’djida NP. They documented a population of 232 elephants in the park. After a long period with no systematic aerial surveys across the area, Omondi et al (2008) produced a minimum count of 525 elephants for the entire landscape. This included 450 that were counted in Bouba N’djida NP and its adjacent safari hunting zones. The survey also documented a high richness and abundance of other large mammals in the Bouba N’djida NP area, and to the southeast of Faro NP. In the period since 2010, a number of large-scale elephant poaching incidents have taken place in Bouba N’djida NP.

  • 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.

  • Evidence from Bamenda, Cameroon
    sustainability Article Urban Expansion and the Dynamics of Farmers’ Livelihoods: Evidence from Bamenda, Cameroon Akhere Solange Gwan 1 and Jude Ndzifon Kimengsi 2,3,* 1 Department of Geography and Planning, The University of Bamenda, Bambili 00237, Cameroon; [email protected] 2 Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Technische Universität Dresden, 01737 Tharandt, Germany 3 Department of Geography, The University of Bamenda, Bambili 00237, Cameroon * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 12 June 2020; Accepted: 14 July 2020; Published: 18 July 2020 Abstract: There is growing interest in the need to understand the link between urban expansion and farmers’ livelihoods in most parts of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), including Cameroon. This paper undertakes a qualitative investigation of the effects of urban expansion on farmers’ livelihoods in Bamenda, a primate city in Cameroon. Taking into consideration two key areas—the Mankon–Bafut axis and the Nkwen Bambui axis—this study analyzes the trends and effects of urban expansion on farmers’ livelihoods with a view to identifying ways of making the process more beneficial to the farmers. Maps were used to determine the trend of urban expansion between 2000 and 2015. Twelve farmers drawn from the target sites were interviewed, while three focus group discussions were conducted. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze perceptions of the effects and coping strategies of farmers to urban expansion. Using the livelihoods approach, farmers’ livelihoods repertoires and portfolios were analyzed for the periods before and after urban expansion. Between 2000 and 2015, the surface area for farmlands in Bamenda II and Bamenda III reduced from 3540 ha to 2100 ha and 2943 ha to 1389 ha, respectively.

  • The River Logone: a Mixed-Blessing to the Inhabitants of Mayo Danay
    SYLLABUS Revue scientifique interdisciplinaire de l’École Normale Supérieure Série Lettres et sciences humaines Numéro spécial volume VII N° 1 2016 THE RIVER LOGONE: A MIXED-BLESSING TO THE INHABITANTS OF MAYO DANAY DIVISION, FAR-NORTH REGION OF CAMEROON TAKEM MBI Bienvenu Magloire National Institute of Cartography, P.O. Box 157, INC, Yaoundé [email protected] Abstract This paper sought to know if the constant supply of water to the River Logone, in a very low altitude area, from the wet tropical highlands in central Cameroon and the Adamawa plateau is a mixed- blessing to the inhabitants of Mayo Danay. Data was gathered through field enquiry and discussions with administrative authorities in October 2014. Results depict that a number of activities like farming, fishing, animal rearing and transport in the area depend on the River Logone despite that it is a source of floods and facilitates the spreading of malaria parasite. Conclusively, it is actually a mixed- blessing to the people, necessitating measures to make it less hazardous. Key-Words: Far North Cameroon, Floods, Mayo Danay, River Logone. Résumé Cet article permet de savoir si l’approvisionnement constant en eau du fleuve Logone à partir des hautes montagnes tropicales du centre du Cameroun et du plateau de l’Adamaoua vers une zone de basse altitude est une source de vie ou de désastre pour les habitants du 217 TAKEM MBI Bienvenu Magloire / SYLLABUS NUMERO SPECIAL VOL VII N° 1, 2016 : 217 - 242 THE RIVER LOGONE: A MIXED-BLESSING TO THE INHABITANTS OF MAYO DANAY DIVISION, FAR-NORTH REGION OF CAMEROON Mayo Danay.

The urban metabolism model shows clearly that human settlements are the quality outputs of the transformation of inputs by an urban area through a metabolic process. This study seeks to bring to focus the drivers of human settlement dynamics in Bamenda 3, the manifestation of the dynamics and the functional evolution. The study made used of secondary data and information from published and unpublished sources. Landsat images of 1989, 1999 and 2015 were used to analyze dynamics in human settlement. Field survey was carried out. The results show multiple drivers of human settlement dynamism associated with population growth. Human settlement dynamics from 1989, 1999 and 2015 show an evolution in surface area with that of other uses like agriculture reducing.
