Consultancy Report on Vegetable Seeds Integrated Agricultural Systems for the Humidtropics, a CGIAR Research Project Consultancy Report on Vegetable Seeds Baseline survey for setting up smallholders’ sustainable vegetable seed supply and distribution system in humid tropics areas of Cameroon Team Members Tata Precillia Ijang (Team leader) Dr Ngome Francis Godswill Ntsomboh Ntsefong Ngayong Joseph Wirngo December 2013 Executive Summary The Cameroon seed sector is developing slowly and steadily and there is political will through government legislation and requirements to foster the development of the sector with a view to boosting the agricultural sector as well as stimulating the economy as a whole. The seed sector activity is regulated by law N o 2001/014 of 23 rd July 2001 relating to seed production and marketing and its instruments of application. Decision N o 541/MINADER/SG/DRCQ/SDRSQV of 7 th September 2006 on the homologation of official technical regulation of quality control of certain vegetable seeds complements the law of July 2001 and specifically applies to the production, importation and quality control and marketing of vegetable seeds. The public sector has a definite contribution to promote the development of the seed sector in Cameroon. Through the Department of Quality Regulation and Control of Inputs and Agricultural Products of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the state ensures regulation of seeds and vegetable quarantine as well as the breeding of various species of seeds. At present this department controls one national breeding centre and ten regional ones that supply seeds to various stakeholders of the seed sector in Cameroon. The role of public sector is mainly catalytic in initiating seed production, quality control, seed certification, notification and registration of varieties and other regulatory systems. Despite state regulation of the seed sector activity, the public sector is yet to engage itself in the production of vegetable seeds. Government provides the regulatory mechanism for the production, importation, quality control and marketing of specific vegetable seeds laid down in a decision of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development both for the public as well as private seed multiplication and breeding companies. Three private local companies are involved in seed multiplication and breeding programmes. Grenier du Monde Rural (GMR), Semences de Qualité Garantie (SQG) and Farmer’s House multiply vegetable seeds in Cameroon concentrating mainly on indigenous species. Majority of vegetable seeds available on the market are imported from abroad by private distribution enterprises of which TROPICASEM is the biggest. Alongside imported species and other indigenous species produced by the aforementioned local companies, an informal vegetable seed sector exists on a rather negligible scale and provides local varieties or species which may be of dubious quality given that they are produced by individual vendors on a small scale using traditional and rudimentary production techniques to satisfy both the domestic and commercial needs of smallholders. The latter species of vegetable seeds do not go through the scrutiny requirements of state inspectors and controllers to certify quality standards before they are marketed to smallholders.

    PALAEOECOLOGY OF AFRICA PALAEOECOLOGY OF AFRICA International Yearbook of Landscape Evolution and Palaeoenvironments 31 31 International Yearbook of Landscape Evolution and Palaeoenvironments 31 Runge Founded in 1966, the internationally recognized and acclaimed Series ‘Palaeoecology of Africa’ publishes interdisciplinary scientific papers on landscape evolution and on former environments of the African continent. Beginning with topics such as changes in climate and vegetation cover, the papers expand horizons and interconnections to various types of environmental dynamics from the Cainozoic up to the present; moreover, the aspect of human influence since the Late Quaternary is related to many of the areas studied. Cameroon Southern in Change Environmental Quaternary and Neotectonics Evolution, Landscape Volume 31 presents four comprehensive papers on long‐ and short‐term processes of landscape evolution (geological history, neotectonics and proxy Quaternary alluvia), as well as a recent regional perspective on environmental problems in Southern Cameroon. The book acts as a showcase for successful North‐South cooperation and capacity building for empowering African Universities. It is problem oriented and applied, and illustrates how scientific and interdisciplinary cooperation can work. In the framework of the German Research Foundation’s (DFG, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) funded "Rain Forest Savanna Contact" project (2003‐2009) two abbreviated English versions of PhD theses are here published, one by J. Eisenberg on neotectonics and the other by M. Sangen on river sediments in rain forest‐savanna transitional zones. Complementary articles are an introduction on geological history, by B. Kankeu et al. and a paper on environmental risks by M. Tchindjang et al., together these complete the results of this joint German‐Cameroonian research project.

PO Box, 2000 Owerri, Imo state Nigeria Department of Biochemistry Catholic University of Cameroon (CATUC) Bamenda - Cameroon Prof. Chinyere Ukaga N Department of Animal and Environmental Biology, Imo State University Nigeria Prof. Kenneth A Yongabi Phyto-Biotechnology Research Foundation Institute, P.O Box 921 Bamenda North West Region-Cameroon Prof. NWOKE BEB Department of Animal and Environmental Biology, Imo State University Nigeria Prof. PM TIH Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Board, Bamenda Cameroon Abstract Oocycts of Cryptosporidia are zoonotic infective stages of Cryptosporidia spp that can easily contaminate the environment if not properly disposed of. Torrential rains would usually wash them into the nearby streams and likely be consumed by humans when the water is used. Cryotosporidiosis in people with suppressed immune systems have no cure as the robust oocycst are not destroyed by chlorination. The aim of this study is to determine the presence of Cryptosporia oocycts in stream water after torrential rains 60 samples of stream water were collected immediately after rain storm in June and July 2014, from 5 streams flowing through Bamenda town. 2 samples of 1.5L were collected from each stream, on 6 different days. Cryptosporidia ssp were present in all the streams but there was no significant difference between their occurrence and the stream’s location, Chi square = 2.605, >0.05The streams flowing through Bamenda town are polluted Keywords: storm-water, zoonotic, Cryptosporidiosis, chlorination, oocysts 1.

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.

    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.
