Presentation of the mission
Action Against Hunger has been present in Cameroon since 1998. Since 2014, our action has focused mainly in the East and Far North Region of the country on emergency programs initiated with Central African refugees and affected host communities. by socio-political unrest in CAR and violence linked to Boko Haram activity in the Lake Chad region. ACF has implemented long-term population resilience, nutrition, health and water, sanitation and hygiene programs with the support of ECHO and SIDA for more than 150,000 beneficiaries. Since the end of 2018, ACF, under the name of Action Against Hunger, has also been present in the South West, in support of the crisis that is raging in this region.
The mission currently has 140 employees spread over 5 bases: Batouri in the East, Maroua and Kousseri in the Far North, Buéa in the South-West and coordination in Yaoundé.
Cameroon is a fairly stable country. However, the Far North region remains an area of great vigilance with the presence of factions of Boko Haram on the border with Nigeria. Likewise, the North West / South West regions are very unstable.
In Chad, the gravity of the humanitarian situation can be explained by several factors: high infant mortality rate, nutritional insecurity, insufficient health coverage, instability and security risks, fluctuating population movements and recurring natural disasters. In addition, the country is also affected by the regional conflict which shakes the basin of Lake Chad. Action contre la Faim's interventions date back to 1982 in the Kanem region and are associated with the various health and nutritional crises that the country has experienced. Since 2011, ACF in Chad has placed the prevention, detection and treatment of severe acute malnutrition at the heart of its intervention.
The ACF intervention in Chad aims to guarantee the nutritional security of populations through programs in the areas of nutrition & health, mental health & care practices, food security & livelihoods, water, sanitation and hygiene, and disaster management while emphasizing cross-cutting humanitarian advocacy work with stakeholders in these sectors.
