Introduction These forecasts are done through the exploitation of spatial data collected from major international centres involved in day-to-day cl imate science, notably: the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) of the University of Columbia (USA); the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA, USA); AccuWeather (American Weather Forecasting Agency, USA); the African Centre of Meteorological Applications for Development (ACMAD); Spatial data from 1979 to 2018, relating to Ocean Surface Temperature (OST) in the Atlantic and Pacific, El-Niño/La Nina episode intensities in the Pacific, rainfall and temperature from local stations. To this end, ONACC would like to express its gratitude to all these international Institutions for the good will demonstrated in the sharing of the data. This dekadal climate early warning bulletin n°41 highlights the historical climatic conditions from 1979 to 2018, as well as the st th climatic forecasts for all the five Agro ecological zones of Cameroon, for the period from 1 to 10 April, 2020. This early warning brief further underscores the risks, threats and potential impacts expected in the socio-economic development sectors of Cameroon. It st th th th also makes an assessment of the forecasts developed for the dekad from 1 to 10 April, 2020. This dekad from 11 to 20 April, 2020 will be characterized by the progressive set in of the monsoon from the South Atlantic Ocean in a South-West-North-East direction. In Cameroon, this monsoon will settle in the coastal zone (Littoral and South West regions), in the West, North West, South, Centre and East regions. This progression will be marked by the displacement of the Inter Tropical Front (ITF) which is currently in the southern part, to the northern part of the country. II. FORECAST SUMMARY II.1. For Temperatures The following locations have a high probability of experiencing a large increase in mean maximum temperatures compared to historical averages. They include: - Tibati in the Adamawa region; - Ngoro, Nkoteng, Yaounde and Eseka in the Centre region; - Moloundou in the East region; - Makam in the West region; NB 1: During this period, we note: 1) a high risk of observing heat waves characterised by temperatures between 34°C and 40°C, for several successive days in the Sudano- sahelian zone (Far North region and North region, notabl; in Dembo, Pitoa, Lagdo, Garoua, Tcholliré et Rey Bouba); 2) We also note a high probability of registering large differences in thermal variations over the Sudano-sahelian zone (Far North and North regions). The following locations have a high probability of experiencing a large decrease in average minimum temperatures compared to historical averages. They include: - Mora in the Far North region; - Touboro in the North region; - Tignere and Meiganga in the Adamawa region; - Garoua Boulai in the East region; - Akom II and Ambam in the South region; - Foumbot, Bafang and Bazou in the West region; - Benakuma, Bamenda and Kumbo in the North West region. II. 2. For Precipitation A high probability of recording rainfall amounts in excess of historic values recorded for the same period and in excess of those recorded in the dekad of 1-10 April, 2020 in the following localities: - Bertoua, Abong Mbang, Lomie, Mintom II, Ngoyla, Garoua Boulai, Batouri, Betare-Oya, Bertoua, Belabo, Moloundou, Mbitom, Yokadouma and Mindourou in the East region; - Eseka, Mbalmayo and Monatele in the Centre region; - Kribi, Nyabizan, Campo, Ebolowa and Lolodorf in the South region; - Buea, Tiko and Limbe in the South West region; - Mbouda, Bazou and Tonga in the West region; - Benankuma, Wum, Fundong and Bali in the North West region; - Mouanko, Dizangue, Yabassi, Douala, Nkongsamba, Manjo, Penja, Ndokiti, Edea, Melong and Mbanga in the Littoral region. 2 NB2: For the other localities over the national territory, the forecasts indicate quantities of precipitations globally around the average recorded during the decade from 1st to 10th April, 2020.

Method and Materials: Simulium biting humans were aspirated using a sucking tube for molecular identification. Fifty female Simulium flies were caught using the mentioned technique. Results: Molecular genotyping revealed that the anthropophilic Simulium black flies caught were of the Simulium damnosums.l. complex. Conclusion: The presence of Simulium damnosum s.l . indicates the risk of ongoing onchocercosis transmission in the study area. Keywords: Simulium , sucking tube, genotyping, Mouanko .

Its aim is to put at the disposal of actors of the sub-sector on the one hand, and of the general public, on the other hand, statistical data which illustrate the actions and development policies implemented in this ministerial department. The document presents a series of statistical information relating, on the one hand, to contextual data on Cameroon and, on the other hand, to the mines, industry and technological development components. I, therefore, invite all potential users of the information contained in this valuable document to make good use of it, and to generate actions likely to further improve the performance of our sub-sector. I would like to seize this opportunity to express my appreciation to all those who have, in one way or another, contributed towards elaborating this document, in particular the National Institute of Statistics for its support, the central and devolved services of MINMIDT, structures under its supervisory authority, as well as the administrations called upon to provide statistical information.

The workshop was chaired by Ms. Prudence Tangham Galega, Ministry of Environment, Protection of Nature and Sustainable Development of Cameroon (MINIPED) and CBD National Focal Point for Cameroon. Participants included representatives from Cameroon’s Committee for the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) and other governmental ministries, offices and agencies, in addition to members of the scientific community and civil society.
