Cameroon 2014 Table A Cameroon 2014 Table A: Total funding and outstanding pledges* as of 29 September 2021 http://fts.unocha.org (Table ref: R10) Compiled by OCHA on the basis of information provided by donors and appealing organizations. Donor Channel Description Funding Outstanding Pledges USD USD Allocation of unearmarked funds by FAO The assistance is intended to cover the immediate needs of 493,000 0 FAO refugees and host populations on agricultural inputs to enable households engaged in agricultural activities boost vegetable production during the off-season 2014 (August to November). This should improve food security and generate income through the sale of surpluses. In addition, in order to promote a more sustainable approach, the project will provide cereals and cassava processing facilities in host villages, coupled with training sessions. This will reduce post-harvest losses in corn and cassava, and thus help to strengthen the resilience of target populations.

  • Situation of Nigerian Refugees in the NW and Adamawa Regions Of
    Situation of Nigerian Refugees in the NW and Adamawa Regions of Cameroon Conflict over land between the Pastoral Mbororo Fulani and the Mambilas in the Taraba State of Nigeria has been existing for more than three decades. The Mambilas claim they own the land and have more power to control the land and related resources. Conflicts have been frequent with no peaceful cohabitation between them. The civil war started between them in 1982, 2001-2002 and the third and the fiercest erupted on 17-23 June 2017 with huge human and material losses. The Mambila militia men brutally attacked the Fulani and more than 200 Mbororo people killed, 150 severely injured with machete wounds, 180 homesteads looted and burndown, 20.000 herds of cattle killed, maimed or stolen and 10,000 people displaced and 6000 people seek refuge in Cameroon. Killing and looting is still going. 90 cases treated by the integrated health Centre Atta and 46 cases handles by catholic Health Centre Atta 3 people currently taking treatment at BBH Banso and two in the Integrated Health Centre Atta Hosting Regions The refugees are found in several villages in Nwa sub division in the North West Region In the Adamawa region, they are found in 3 sub divisions of the Adamawa region ie Bankim, Mayo Dalle and Banyo central all in Mayo Banyo division.

  • Child, Early, and Forced Marriage in Cameroon: Research Findings
    CHILD, EARLY, AND FORCED MARRIAGE IN CAMEROON: RESEARCH FINDINGS INTRODUCTION Child, early and forced marriage is widespread in Cameroon and particularly prevalent in the north of the country. As a form of violence against women and girls, the practice is extremely harmful to the socio-economic status, sexual and reproductive health, and psychological wellbeing of young girls and women. The Association to Combat Violence against Women-Extreme North (ALVF-EN) is a feminist organization that aims to eliminate all forms of violence affecting women and girls, including early and forced marriage, in the northern regions of Cameroon. This brief is based on research conducted ALVF-EN sponsored a major study to better understand the practice and help its by the Institut members and other organizations more effectively advocate against child marriage Supérieur du Sahel at the University of as well as promote women’s empowerment. Specifically, ALVF-EN plans to use Maroua (Cameroon), the findings to advocate for the implementation of a new Code of the Family and in partnership with ALVF-EN, supported Person. by IWHC. STUDY AIMS AND METHODOLOGY To determine the nature and scale of child and early forced marriage in Cameroon, the Institut Supérieur du Sahel at the University of Maroua (Cameroon), in partnership with ALVF-EN, surveyed individuals and families on their views of early and forced marriage and its main drivers. They also examined the legal context in which these marriages take place and the profile of girls and women most at risk. Focus groups, in-depth interviews and surveys were used to collect data on perceptions in all ten regions of Cameroon, urban and rural areas alike.

  • Case Studies from Adamawa (Cameroon-Nigeria)
    Open Linguistics 2021; 7: 244–300 Research Article Bruce Connell*, David Zeitlyn, Sascha Griffiths, Laura Hayward, and Marieke Martin Language ecology, language endangerment, and relict languages: Case studies from Adamawa (Cameroon-Nigeria) https://doi.org/10.1515/opli-2021-0011 received May 18, 2020; accepted April 09, 2021 Abstract: As a contribution to the more general discussion on causes of language endangerment and death, we describe the language ecologies of four related languages (Bà Mambila [mzk]/[mcu], Sombә (Somyev or Kila)[kgt], Oumyari Wawa [www], Njanga (Kwanja)[knp]) of the Cameroon-Nigeria borderland to reach an understanding of the factors and circumstances that have brought two of these languages, Sombә and Njanga, to the brink of extinction; a third, Oumyari, is unstable/eroded, while Bà Mambila is stable. Other related languages of the area, also endangered and in one case extinct, fit into our discussion, though with less focus. We argue that an understanding of the language ecology of a region (or of a given language) leads to an understanding of the vitality of a language. Language ecology seen as a multilayered phenom- enon can help explain why the four languages of our case studies have different degrees of vitality. This has implications for how language change is conceptualised: we see multilingualism and change (sometimes including extinction) as normative. Keywords: Mambiloid languages, linguistic evolution, language shift 1 Introduction A commonly cited cause of language endangerment across the globe is the dominance of a colonial language. The situation in Africa is often claimed to be different, with the threat being more from national or regional languages that are themselves African languages, rather than from colonial languages (Batibo 2001: 311–2, 2005; Brenzinger et al.

This sequence, spanning the last 7000 cal. yr BP, shows that the vegetation response to this transitional climatic episode was neither abrupt nor really gradual. Forest degradation in this area is initially registered as early as 6100 cal.

Three species of tsetse flies have been recorded: Glossina morsitans submorsitans, G. fuscipes ■ fuscipes and G. tachinoides. Between 1960 and 1975 the Cameroonian Gov- ernment organized large-scale trypanocidal treatment campaigns of cattle. Later on, tsetse control activities were initiated. Between 1976 and 1994, sev- eral aerial spraying campaigns were carried out which resulted in the clear- ance of 3,200,000 hectares of pastures. Unfortunately, reinvasion of tsetse flies in several cleared areas could not be avoided. To prevent reinvasion of tsetse flies from Koutine Plain (north of the Adamawa plateau), a barrier consisting of screens and traps was set in place. However, bush fires destroyed most of the screens and traps soon after deployment in 1994. Thereafter, the bar- rier was replaced by a program of insecticide treatments of cattle. Cross-sec- tional and longitudinal parasitological and entomological surveys in 2004-05 showed that the barrier of insecticide-treated cattle had succeeded in keeping the plateau relatively tsetse free. The incidence of trypanosomosis in cattle on the plateau was reported to vary between 0 and 2.1%.

  • AR 10 SIL En.Qxd
    20 09 Annual Report An art everyone can master A Word from the Director It’s not impossible! When I first joined the work of SIL Cameroon, I was assigned as a literacy specialist to the East Region. We often received visit- ors in the literacy centre and sometimes these would be highly educated officials, well-dressed and obviously successful people. When we presented the Makaa books, they would some- times show signs of embarrassment on their face. They were not able to read them and they thought that learning to read Makaa would be too difficult. They were afraid of those funny-looking symbols. However, those who made the effort discovered that within just a few hours they were able to read fluently! Learning to read is much harder for children. It often takes years. Up to that point the children stumble through short phrases, often without knowing what they are reading. Many of them are forced to give up before they master the art of reading. In some schools it is different though. In several communities SIL has helped to introduce education in the mother tongue. What a difference that makes! Suddenly children are able to read while still in Class 1. They are learning to read in a lan- guage they understand and that makes it so much easier. 2 Whether it is children or adults, it is not difficult to learn Administration to read the mother tongue. That shouldn't be surprising, since in Cameroon in December 2009: the mother tongue is part of who we are, what we grow up with.
