Report of the SNC Mission Team in Cameroon August 28-July 07, 2007 Introduction the Present Report Outlines Activities, Outcomes Report of the SNC Mission Team in Cameroon August 28-July 07, 2007 Introduction The present report outlines activities, outcomes and lessons learned during the consultative mission in Cameroon, carried out by a WBISD “Sustaining Natural Capital for Growth and Poverty Reduction (SNC) Program. The members of the team (Marian Delos Angeles, TTL, Jonas Mbwangue and Mirella Hernani) received support of Ousmane Seck, TTL of the World Bank CDD and GEF SLM projects in Cameroon, Germaine Mafougong, Assistant Program at the WBCO and the CDD Project Coordination Unit - “Programme National de Développement Participatif” (PNDP) to prepare in-country consultations with the government and the civil society, as well as the workshop with promising stakeholders. The main objectives of the mission was to layout the foundation for the establishment of the SNC Core Team in Cameroon and to define the preliminary vision and related action plan for the integration of the SNC approaches and principles into the national policies, strategies, programs and projects. 1. Activities a) Preparation of in-country consultations and stakeholders’ workshop The first meeting was organized on August 29, 2007 with both the WBCO and the CDD Project Coordination Unit (PNDP). During formal briefing sessions with the WBCO Manager and the PNDP Program Coordinator, the PNDP team indicated three areas of interest: medicinal plants, dispute between agriculture and pasture land, and protected areas. The PNDP and SNC Teams thereafter jointly identified the list of target institutions to be consulted and the target audiences to be invited to the July 05, 2007 workshop on “Sustaining Natural Capital for Local Development”. The so called “Preparatory Group” also prepared the agenda of the July 05 Workshop and letters of invitation for participants to be signed by the WBCO Manager. Before this, a letter announcing WBISD mission was sent to the Ministry of Finance, Planning, Agriculture, Livestock, Forest, Environment and Land Affairs by the WBCO Manager. On July 2, all letters of invitation to the workshop were signed by the WBCO Manager and sent to the target institutions, together with the related agenda. With the support of the PNDP team, discussions with top government officials and representatives of civil society organizations were arranged. Part of July3 and 4 was devoted to preparing the logistic organization and supportive communications of the July 5 workshop by both WBISD and PNDP teams. Stakeholders Consultations The Joint Team WBISD/PNDP met top level government officials and representatives of key NGOs from July 3-6. The government institutions consulted included the following Ministries: Livestock, Fishery and Animal Husbandry, Forest and Nature Protection, Environment and Wildlife, Agriculture and Rural Development, and Planning and Land Management. In each ministerial department, individual consultation meetings were chaired by the Secretary General of the host ministry, assisted by their directors and technical advisors. The SNC team with support from the PNDP Office consulted representatives of key civil society organizations including one International Organization (WWF-Central Africa Regional Office), one local NGO (Organisation pour l’Environnement et le Développement Durable - OPED), one local research institute (Institut de Recherche Agricole pour le Développement - IRAD) and one academic institution (Dschang Agricultural University - Faculté d’Agronomie et des Sciences Agricoles FASA). These consultation meetings were an opportunity for WBISD SNC Team to introduce to both government and civil society officials on the principles of the SNC published in the book entitled “Where is the Wealth of Nations” and to share with them the objectives of the regional capacity building program. Strong interest in the SNC motivated the top officials of the government departments and NGOs visited to appoint their senior and key officials participate in the stakeholders’ workshop. Points raised during these consultations include: conflicting areas of concern among the agencies in charge of animal husbandry, agriculture and forests; weakness of government institutions; lack of a coordination mechanism among all stakeholders and few human resources skilled in natural resource management. b) Stakeholders’ Workshop On July 5, 2007, WBISD and PNDP jointly organized the stakeholders’ workshop under the overreaching theme of “Sustaining Natural Capital for Local Development”. 42 senior officials from government ministries, academia and research institutions, domestic and internationals NGOS, as well as World Bank funded project staff attended the workshop. They represented a mix of expertise including economists, demographers, sociologists, agronomists, livestock specialists, land and natural resource specialists. After the opening session led by Mr. Ousmane Seck, TTL of the WB-CDD and GEF SLM projects and Mrs. Marie Madeleine Nga, the CDD Program Manager, the workshop proceeded in four main sessions. In the first session, the CDD Deputy Program Manager (Vincent Gweth) and the SLM Project Coordinator (Georges Nkami) respectively presented to the target audience the results and lessons learned from the first two (02) years of operation of the CDD Project and the implementation framework of the SLM project. This phase was followed by questions from participants and answers from speakers which included: which criteria were used to select areas of intervention; how to ensure the sustainability of the infrastructure (schools, health care centers, roads, etc); which strategy is being developed to mobilize additional funding to expand the coverage of the project at the national level. In the second session, the three WBISD SNC speakers (Marian Delos Angeles, Mirella Hernani and Jonas Mbwangue) presented the three main pillars of the SNC principles and approaches, which include (a) Valuing Natural Capital, (b) Socio-economic and population dynamics and (c) ecosystem approach in the perspective of sustainable land management. Additionally, the SNC team (Marian Delos Angeles) added some examples from Asian, Latin American, and African countries of applications of natural resources valuation for sustainable land management and forest examples. After usual Q/A period, participants were gathered into two working groups in the third session. The first group was asked to enrich the draft of the implementation methodology of the GEF-SLM project prepared by the CDD Project Coordination Unit and to outline a vision and action plan on “how to mainstream the SNC tools presented by WBISD into the project implementation framework”. While the second group was asked to outline preliminary vision on “how to mainstream the SNC tools into national policy, strategy and programs such as PRSP, Sector Strategies and CAS. In the last session, both groups presented their reports in PowerPoint format and Marian Delos Angeles, TTL of the SNC Project announced the next steps which include (a) establishing the Cameroon Advisory Group (In-country SNC Steering Committee) and the Technical Group (in- country Analyst Group), (b) refining and finalizing the vision and action plan document as contribution of the Cameroon to the regional workshop and (c) carrying out capacity needs assessment which will be used to develop the training curriculum on SNC. c) Initial Baseline Survey on SNC Knowledge A questionnaire to assess the initial knowledge of the participants on SNC was prepared and provided to the participants. 36 participants out of 42 in total responded to the questionnaire. In absolute term 100% of participants responded to the questionnaire, because the six non-respondents were the Staff of the World Bank (04), the CDD Program Manager (01) and the Principal Moderator (01). The questionnaire was filled out by participants after the coffee break during the workshop. d) Post Workshop Evaluations Sessions Post-workshop sessions were carried out in two phases. First at the WBCO with Ousmane Seck, WBISD SNC Team drawn lessons learned for this first in-country clinic and the ways to move forward. Mr. Seck also suggested that the team interact with Mr. Erick Fernandez, Senior Advisor to ARD, on his initiative in Burundi where specific tools are being used for assessing natural resources. During a post-workshop session held at the CDD Project Coordination Unit, the team drafted the terms of references (TORs) for the Advisory Group and agreed that WBISD will send to the Advisory Group the TORs for the technical group (Analysts) which would allow them to select CV for potential analysts. The CV for potentials analysts will be submitted to WBISD as guide for selecting the local analyst(s). A timeframe was setup to establishing the in-country groups and finalizing the vision and action plan document. 2. Outcomes a) Terms of References of the Advisory and Technical Groups were defined The following TORs were prepared and assigned to the Cameroon SNC Core Team: Establishment of the Cameroon Consultative Team for Sustaining Natural Capital Following the conclusions of the workshop on “Sustaining Natural Capital for Local Development” jointly organized by the World Bank and the PNDP on July 05, 2007, a Cameroon Consultative Group for “Sustaining Natural Capital was established. Composition: The team is composed of two main sub-groups: The Advisory Committee and the Technical Team (Analysts). The Advisory Committee will be composed of 10 members including: Economists, Environmentalists, Demographers, Agronomists, Sociologists,

  • Commodification of Care and Its Effects on Maternal Health in the Noun Division (West Region – Cameroon) Ibrahim Bienvenu Mouliom Moungbakou
    Moungbakou BMC Medical Ethics 2018, 19(Suppl 1):43 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12910-018-0286-1 RESEARCH Open Access Commodification of care and its effects on maternal health in the Noun division (West Region – Cameroon) Ibrahim Bienvenu Mouliom Moungbakou Abstract Background: Since the mid-1980s, there has been a gradual ethical drift in the provision of maternal care in African health facilities in general, and in Cameroon in particular, despite government efforts. In fact, in Cameroon, an increasing number of caregivers are reportedly not providing compassionate care in maternity services. Consequently, many women, particularly the financially vulnerable, experience numerous difficulties in accessing these health services. In this article, we highlight the unequal access to care in public maternity services in Cameroon in general and the Noun Division in particular. Methods: For this study, in addition to documentary review, two qualitative data collection techniques were used: direct observation and individual interviews. Following the field work, the observation data were categorized and analyzed to assess their relevance and significance in relation to the topics listed in the observation checklist. Interviews were recorded using a dictaphone; they were subsequently transcribed and the data categorized and coded. After this stage, an analysis grid was constructed for content analysis of the transcripts, to study the frequency of topics addressed during the interviews, as well as divergences and convergences among the respondents. Results: The results of this data analysis showed that money has become the driving force in service provision. As such, it is the patient’s economic capital that counts. Considered “clients”, pregnant women without sufficient financial resources wait long hours in corridors; some die in pain under the indifferent gaze of the professionals who are supposed to take care of them.

    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.

  • Microbiological Quality of Water Sources in the West Region Of
    Mabvouna Biguioh et al. BMC Public Health (2020) 20:346 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-8443-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Microbiological quality of water sources in the West region of Cameroon: quantitative detection of total coliforms using Micro Biological Survey method Rodrigue Mabvouna Biguioh1, Sali Ben Béchir Adogaye1* , Patrick Martial Nkamedjie Pete2, Martin Sanou Sobze3, Jean Blaise Kemogne4 and Vittorio Colizzi1 Abstract Background: Adequate supply of safe drinking-water remains a critical issue in most developing countries. The whole western region of Cameroon doesn’t have a sustainable continuous water supply system, which leads most people to use potentially contaminated water sources to meet their daily water needs. Previous, studies carried out in similar areas of Cameroon have highlighted the poor bacteriological quality of water sources used as drinking- water by the local populations. Methods: This study used the Micro Biological Survey method, a rapid colorimetric test for the quantitative detection of Coliforms in water samples. 22 water sources (12 improved and 10 unimproved) were identified; 1 water sample of 50 ml was collected in sterile plastic tubes, immediately kept in a refrigerator box and transported to the laboratory for analysis. 1 ml of each sample was inoculated in the Coliforms Micro Biological Survey (Coli MBS) vials initially rehydrated with 10 ml of sterile distilled water. The Coli MBS vials were closed, shaken for about 30 s for homogenization and then incubated at 37 °C. From the initial red color of the Coli MBS vials, changes in color of the reaction vials were monitored at three different time intervals (12 h, 19 h and 24 h), corresponding to three levels of contamination.
