Government restrictions and civilian-targeted attacks by various armed actors has limited nearly all humanitarian access in these two regions. The Western region of Cameroon has received a high number of displaced persons arriving from the South-West and North-West regions with few humanitarian actors present in this region. In the Western region displaced persons are residing with host communities, in either rental arrangements or host- family arrangements, both in urban and rural areas. The majority have travelled with few possessions, many have lost or have damaged identification documents, do not speak the local languages (or French) and are struggling to make ends meet. To assess the feasibility of undertaking using cash as a modality for shelter and NFI assistance for displaced persons in the Western region of Cameroon a feasibility study was conducted by the Cameroon Red Cross with support from the Luxembourg Red Cross from the 13th and 21st of March 2019. The study was conducted in both the Menua and Noun departments of the Western region of Cameroon and focused on markets for NFI’s, for rent (including hosting arrangements), preferences in terms of the use of modality, and the availability and suitability of certain financial service providers. Additional analysis was conducted specifically for Red Cross programming in the annexes to this report. This additional analysis focused on the utilization of cash as a modality in combination with other modalities, transfer value calculation, a risk analysis and specific Source: OCHA Cameroon: North-West and South- recommendations on programmatic approaches, such West. Situation Report No. 05. April 15 2019 as for targeting. 3 Key Findings Below are some of the key findings from the feasibility study: Education is the number one spending priority should displaced persons have additional cash. This is closely followed by food as the second highest priority. The third priority is improved housing, followed by investing in livelihoods, health also features. There were very few mentions of NFI’s as a priority. Cash would be the most suitable assistance modality as markets are generally functioning well and displaced persons can access services (although it was not defined to what extent). Cash is frequently mentioned as the most prohibitive factor for accessing goods and services. From the perspective of the displaced, multipurpose cash would be most suitable for this context, as people need cash to cover a broad range of basic needs, many of which are essential to their fundamental rights and protection. The risks of not meeting basic needs by not giving multipurpose cash are very high. If we give other forms of assistance and do not give multipurpose cash, critical needs may not be met, such as lifesaving healthcare. It is unlikely that the majority of an unrestricted and unconditional cash grant would be used for rent and/or NFI’s, even if ‘labelled’ and accompanied by dissemination work. However, a significant amount will be spent on these items (improved housing is listed as the third highest spending priority), as they constitute key components of the expenditure basket although it is not possible to predict the amounts. As many are trying to invest in commercial activities, an up-front lump sum would help to start those activities and increase incomes, thus covering basic needs. Therefore a livelihoods component to the cash grant may be suitable depending on programmatic goals. This is listed as the fourth highest priority should displaced persons have additional cash. Any form of cash assistance would need additional support services, such as for advocacy on rental rights, contracting, access to services, and prompt access to identity documentation. Certain key listed NFI’s are not available in the market. These are mosquito nets, plastic sheeting and to a lesser extent Jerry Cans (20L). Depending on programmatic goals, and if these are deemed essential, they may have to be distributed. Close cooperation and advocacy with the government is needed. Particularly relating to ensuring the provision of adequate quality housing stock and documentation. It is unclear how best to respond to low housing stock, and further arrivals. For example, temporary shelters are not supported by any of the authorities. They also cannot be constructed in Santchou due to flooding. Land is available for sale/ rent in rural areas, with Santchou being another point of exception. Mobile money was the delivery mechanism of choice for the majority of displaced persons interviewed. This would also be preferable due to security and safety concerns. However this risks excluding certain groups that lack identity documentation, have language difficulties or do not have a phone. Therefore significant help with documentation would be required (or acceptance a service provider to use a Red Cross issued temporary ID/ registration card in place of national ID for the opening of an account). Cash in hand could be used for those not able to access mobile money. 4 Methodology The objective of this study was to inform an evidence based planning exercise that considers cash for shelter and NFI in the Western region of Cameroon. This involved collecting information on the following areas: 1. Clarification on needs and preferences 2. Rental markets - availability, quality, prices and other influencing factors on the rental market and hosting arrangements 3. NFI market – availability, quality and prices 4. Availability of financial service providers/ money agents 5. Government support for the use of cash As the Red Cross recently commissioned a needs assessment, only additional information that would complement this assessment was collected. In relation to needs and preferences, information was collected relating to the use of cash, rental markets and preferences on modality, transfer mechanism and financial service providers that were not included in the needs assessment. Methods The following tools were used for this study: • Observation(s) • Market mapping exercise(s) • Trader/ retailer interviews • Local government interviews • Community leader interviews • Household interviews • Landlord / rental agent interviews • Host family interviews The following seven locations were visited between the 13th and 21st of March 2019.

Specifically, Cameroon imports over 80% of its rice consumption, spending 145 billion French CFA on rice imports yearly. But, Cameroon has sufficient untapped arable land and a large enough agriculturally centered population to produce adequate rice quantities to meet demand without relying on imports.

    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.
