Cameroon

3.4 million people need humanitarian aid

2.1 million displaced persons

3 million people facing food insecurity

64,709 people assisted

In 2024, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL continued its work in the extreme north of Cameroon, an unstable area affected by complex humanitarian crises caused by insecurity linked to armed and inter-community conflicts, poverty, and climate shocks.

These factors of instability exacerbate the structural problems of Cameroon’s poorest region and the vulnerability of the population, who are forced to move.

The country had approximately 1,073,051 internally displaced persons at the end of October 2024.

When they move, households often abandon their livestock, fields, and tools, losing their livelihoods. These regular movements are generally directed toward the same localities, which increases pressure on host village resources, particularly access to land and water.

In 2024, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL continued to provide emergency food assistance and improved access to basic water, hygiene, and sanitation (WASH) services to the most vulnerable populations in the extreme north of Cameroon.

SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL also strengthened its presence in the country by developing innovative methods and techniques to provide emergency humanitarian aid in the areas of food security, livelihoods, and WASH.

These short-, medium-, and long-term responses are designed to directly address the causes of vulnerability among the population and strengthen their resilience.
