Highlights
- In May 2025, UNFPA provided substantial sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, including antenatal consultations, assisted deliveries, and management of obstetric complications across multiple regions of Cameroon.
- Significant advancements were made in humanitarian efforts, particularly in gender-based violence (GBV) awareness and case management, focusing on host communities and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Far North, North-West, and South-West regions.
- Anticipatory measures are being evaluated to enhance future preparedness and resilience, aligning with the targets and priorities of the ECHO funded project entitled, "Reducing humanitarian needs in the Far North of Cameroon by strengthening the preparedness of multi-level actors to climate shocks,” being undertaken with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and Action Against Hunger.
Situation Overview
- The SRH situation in Cameroon, particularly within the Far North, North-West, and South-West regions, remains a significant humanitarian concern. In May 2025, data from 25 health facilities demonstrated considerable SRH needs among women, specifically in relation to antenatal care, supervised deliveries, and family planning.
- Incidents of GBV, including sexual violence, continue to be a major concern, highlighting the urgent need for increased support to ensure prevention and mitigation, as well as the provision of medical and psychological care for survivors.
