Box 17 OKU-Bui Division, North West Region, Cameroon CAMGEW’s authorisation number N° 000998/RDA/JO6/ BAPP Report prepared by WIRSIY EMMANUEL BINYUY (CAMGEW Director) with support from Ngum Jai Raymond (CAMGEW Project Officer) and Sevidzem Ernestine Leikeki (CAMGEW Social Project Officer). 1 PREFACE Our world needs creative and innovative actions to make it a better place for all its occupants. 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.

  • (Central Domain of the Cameroon North Equatorial Fold Belt): PT Data
    JOURNAL OF THE CAMEROON ACADEMY OF SCIENCES Vol. 8 No. 2/3 (2009) Neoproterozoic metamorphic events in the kekem area (central domain of the Cameroon north equatorial fold belt): P-T data. TCHAPTCHET TCHATO D.c, NZENTI P. a, NJIOSSEU E. L.a, NGNOTUE, T.b, GANNO S.a a Laboratory of Structural Geology and Petrology of Orogenic Domains (LPGS), Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, P.O.Box 812, University of Yaoundé I, Cameroon. b Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, University of Dschang, Cameroon. c Laboratoire d’analyse des matériaux (MIPROMALO), B.P. 2396 Yaoundé. ABSTRACT The Kekem area (southwestern part of the central domain of the Cameroon North Equatorial Fold Belt) is composed of high-grade migmatitic gneisses in which two lithological units are distinguished: (i) a metasedimentary unit (garnet- sillimanite-biotite-gneisses and garnet-biotite-gneisses) interpreted as a continental series; and (ii) meta-igneous rocks comprising mafic pyroxene gneisses, amphibolites, and orthogneisses. These units recrystallised under HT-MP conditions (T=700-800°C, P ≥ 0.5-0.8GPa) and were deformed in relation to a major tangential tectonic event with the NNE-SSW kinematic direction. The lithological association and its tectono-metamorphic evolution show striking similarities with the Banyo and Maham III gneisses, suggesting that the extensional depositional environment envisaged for this formation can be extended farther west. P-T calculations in this contribution provide new data on the Pan-African structural and metamorphic evolution of the metapelites and metabasites in the basement of the Kekem area. The results show two distinct events: (1) crystallization during a Pan-African high temperature metamorphic event and, (2) subsequent deformation and high temperature mylonitization.
