    CAMEROON Perspectives on food security October 2020 to May 2021 Food security improved in the Far North, but worsened in the Northwest and Southwest KEY MESSAGES • Despite the recent surge in attacks by Boko Haram, and Current food security situation, October 2020 excessive rainfall leading to flooding in some locations in the Far North, ongoing new harvests have improved food security for many poor households that currently subsist on their own harvests. The harvest of rainfed grains from the primary agricultural campaign in 2020 is estimated to be average, due to favorable weather conditions. Slightly lower than average production is expected in the Logone-et-Chari, Mayo Sava, and Mayo Tsanga departments, where Boko Haram is most active, as well as in locations where harvests were lost to flooding. • Current prices at the primary markets in the Far North appear stable or are decreasing. Since July 2020, staple food prices have increased above typical levels. Sorghum and maize are selling at 46 to 60 percent, and 30 to 47 percent higher (respectively) than in July 2019. Although current prices are still above average, sorghum and groundnut prices have decreased by 17 percent and 18 percent as compared to the Source: FEWS NET previous three months. FEWS NET classification is IPC-compatible (Integrated Phase Classification). IPC-compatible analysis follows key IPC protocols but • In the Northwest and Southwest regions, where agricultural does not necessarily reflect the consensus of national food security production was lower than average for four consecutive years partners. due to ongoing socio-political conflicts, this year's harvests are running out earlier than usual.

  • Masculinity and Female Resistance in the Rice Economy in Meteh/Menchum Valley Bu, North West Cameroon, 1953 – 2005
    Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 15, No.7, 2013) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania MASCULINITY AND FEMALE RESISTANCE IN THE RICE ECONOMY IN METEH/MENCHUM VALLEY BU, NORTH WEST CAMEROON, 1953 – 2005 Henry Kam Kah University of Buea, Cameroon ABSTRACT Male chauvinism and female reaction in the rice economy in Bu, Menchum Division of North West Cameroon is the subject of this investigation. The greater focus of this paper is how and why this phobia has lessened over the years in favour of female dominion over the rice economy. The point d’appui of the masculine management of the economy and the accentuating forces which have militated against their continuous domination of women in the rice sector have been probed into. Incongruous with the situation hitherto, women have farms of their own bought with their own money accumulated from other economic activities. In addition, they now employ the services of men to execute some defined tasks in the rice economy. From the copious data consulted on the rice economy and related economic endeavours, it is a truism that be it collectively and/or individually, men and women in Bu are responding willingly or not, to the changing power relations between them in the rice economy with implications for sustainable development. Keywords: Masculinity, Female Resistance, Rice Economy, Cameroon, Sustainability 115 INTRODUCTION: RELEVANCE OF STUDY AND CONCEPT OF MASCULINITY Rice is a staple food crop in Cameroon like elsewhere in Africa and other parts of the world.

Severe hunger and poverty affects nearly one billion people around the world and as a result, the demand for food necessitates improvement in planning and management techniques of food crop production. Given that food crop cultivation remains crucial for livelihood sustenance, management techniques by farmers are largely unsustainable. With continuous increase in population, the demand for food crops remains a threat to the community as the inputs of farmers into the farms does not reflect their output in the Ndop Plain. The supply of food crops is becoming unsecured in view of the post-harvest losses incurred by farmers. Farmers Competence in Food Crop Management holds promises to increase food crop production and minimise post harvest losses. This holds that farmers success in food crop management requires a certain level of knowledge, skills, attitudes and experience acquired through formal and informal training. The study intends to investigate farmers’ competence and challenges in food crop management in the Ndop Plain. The study makes use of primary and secondary data collection in which purposive random sampling was used in administering the questionnaires. Primary sources of data collection used in the study include field observation, interview and administration of questionnaires.

The Bamendjin dam drainage basin and its floodplain are endowed with abundant water resources and rich biodiversity, however, poverty is still a dominant factor that accounts for unsustainable management of natural resources by the majority of rural inhabitants in the area. The dam was created in 1975 and has since then exacerbated the environmental conditions and human problems of the region due to lack of flood control during rainy seasons, lost hope of improved navigation system, unclean drinking water sources, population growth, rising unemployment, deteriorating environmental health issues, resettlement problems and land use conflicts, especially farmer-herder conflicts.

These regions of Cameroon have been restive since 2016 in what is popularly referred to as the Anglophone crisis. The crisis has been transformed to a separatist movement, with some Anglophones clamoring for an independent No-So, re-baptized as “Ambazonia”. The purpose of the study is to illuminate the geopolitical perspective of the conflict which has been evaded by many scholars. Most scholarly write-ups have rather focused on the causes, course, consequences and international interventions in the crisis, with little attention to the geopolitical undertones. In terms of methodology, the paper makes use of qualitative data analysis. Unlike previous research works that link the unfolding of the crisis to Anglophone marginalization, historical and cultural difference, the findings from this paper reveals that the strategic location of No-So, the presence of resources, demographic considerations and other geopolitical parameters are proving to be responsible for the heightening of the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon and in favour of the quest for an independent Ambazonia.

  • Republic of Cameroon FY2017 Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese
    Republic of Cameroon FY2017 Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese Grant Aid Project “The 5th Project for Construction of Primary Schools” External Evaluator: Tomoyuki Sho, IC Net Limited 0. Summary The objective of this project is to enhance the learning environment for the students in the North West Region by rebuilding temporary and dilapidated classrooms and providing school furniture, thereby contributing to the achievement of the Cameroonian government’s policy goals of reducing disparities across regions and improving the quality of primary education. Since the project was consistent with Cameroon’s national development policy, education sector strategy, and development needs at the times of planning and ex-post evaluation, as well as Japan’s aid policy at the time of planning, its relevance is high. The outputs of the project, such as the constructions of classrooms and toilets and the provisions of desks and chairs, were produced as planned. Yet the project period exceeded the plan by one month, whereas the project cost was within budget. Therefore, the efficiency is fair. After completion of the project, the number of usable classrooms and that of students who are able to learn in the fine environment significantly increased.
