The arrival of refugees driven into Cameroon by conflicts in northeast Nigeria and in the Central African Republic, and the internal displacement of people caused by Boko Haram activities in the Far North region are putting additional strains on already vulnerable communities.  

As a result of multiple shocks and stresses, including pressure from insecurity and displacement, the overall food security situation sharply deteriorated in 2015 and 2016, with the proportion of food insecure people in the four most vulnerable regions spiking from 19 to 24 percent.

Chronic malnutrition remains a public health issue, with 32 percent of children under 5 suffering from stunting. The prevalence of stunting is above the national average in Far North (42%), North (34%), Adamaoua (38%) and East (36%). High malnutrition rates are primarily a result of limited consumption of nutritious food, diarrhoeal disease which limits the absorption of nutrients, and limited access to clean water, sanitation and health services.  

To help Cameroon achieve Zero Hunger, the World Food Programme (WFP) works with the Government to improve the long-term resilience of vulnerable communities in the Far North, North, Adamaoua and East regions. This includes stabilising community productivity and nutrition, reducing post-harvest losses, improving gender and social inclusion and promoting market opportunities for smallholder farmers. To reinforce these interventions, WFP maintains an emergency response capacity which uses social safety nets to support displaced people and refugees and protect host communities’ long-term investments in resilience.
