  • Persistent High Fertility in Cameroon: Young People Recount Obstacles and Enabling Factors to Use of Contraceptives
    Persistent high fertility in Cameroon: young people recount obstacles and enabling factors to use of Contraceptives Authors: Maurice Kube 1,2,3*, Abeng Charles 2, Ndop Richard 2, Ankiah George 3 Institutions: 1 Department of Nursing, College of Health Sciences University of Buea, Cameroon; 2 Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, FMBS University of Yaounde I, Yaounde, Cameroon; 3 Department of Public Health Sciences, UBA, Bamenda, Cameroon. Background Half of the world’s population is in or entering their child bearing years. Consequently there is tremendous need for contraceptive use, especially in areas with high fertility [1]. This is particularly true in Cameroon where the persistent high fertility (6.7 children per woman) is contributing to the high maternal morbidity and mortality (435/100,000 live births) as well as the rapidly growing population (3.2%) [2-4]. By comparison, a woman in two neighboring countries Gabon and Tchad will have an average of 4.5 and 2.8 children in her lifetime respectively [5]. Maternal mortality is further increased by unintended pregnancies resulting in unsafely induced abortions [4]. High fertility and high maternal morbidity and mortality not only strain individuals, families, and public resources, but also hinder opportunities for economic development [6]. Use of contraceptives has the potential to avert unplanned births, decrease maternal morbidity and mortality, increase welfare and protect future generations [6, 7]. In 2009, 49 percent of the Cameroonian population was below 15 years and 20 percent was between the age of 15 and 24[5]. A large number of young people in Cameroon are thus in or soon reaching their reproductive age and thus have a potential risk of unplanned and unwanted pregnancy [2].

The environment needs to be kept healthy for mankind to be healthy. Poverty, hunger and unemployment have stood as major challenges to mankind. The economic, environmental, political and social conditions are not making things better. We have talked about North-South partnership to make things better for the developing countries and we have also promoted south-south cooperation too but things are not changing positively as expected. Our continent- Africa has a lot of natural resources but these natural resources have not been able to help Africans get decent jobs, put food on their tables, meet other daily needs and invest in the future. There is much disparity between the rich and the poor, the able and the disable, the people in power and those being ruled, the land owners and those in need of land, etc. How do we develop an inclusive strategy that will make everyone belonging to the society? We just hope that as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been developed to replace the expired MDGs things will be getting better globally.

  • CAMEROON Perspectives on Food Security October 2020 to May 2021 Food Security Improved in the Far North, but Worsened in the Northwest and Southwest
    CAMEROON Perspectives on food security October 2020 to May 2021 Food security improved in the Far North, but worsened in the Northwest and Southwest KEY MESSAGES • Despite the recent surge in attacks by Boko Haram, and Current food security situation, October 2020 excessive rainfall leading to flooding in some locations in the Far North, ongoing new harvests have improved food security for many poor households that currently subsist on their own harvests. The harvest of rainfed grains from the primary agricultural campaign in 2020 is estimated to be average, due to favorable weather conditions. Slightly lower than average production is expected in the Logone-et-Chari, Mayo Sava, and Mayo Tsanga departments, where Boko Haram is most active, as well as in locations where harvests were lost to flooding. • Current prices at the primary markets in the Far North appear stable or are decreasing. Since July 2020, staple food prices have increased above typical levels. Sorghum and maize are selling at 46 to 60 percent, and 30 to 47 percent higher (respectively) than in July 2019. Although current prices are still above average, sorghum and groundnut prices have decreased by 17 percent and 18 percent as compared to the Source: FEWS NET previous three months. FEWS NET classification is IPC-compatible (Integrated Phase Classification). IPC-compatible analysis follows key IPC protocols but • In the Northwest and Southwest regions, where agricultural does not necessarily reflect the consensus of national food security production was lower than average for four consecutive years partners. due to ongoing socio-political conflicts, this year's harvests are running out earlier than usual.
