SITUATION OVERVIEW
• Cameroon is facing a neglected humanitarian crisis marked by overlapping emergencies: armed clashes between non-state armed groups (NSAGs) and state security forces in the Northwest and the Southwest Regions; NSAG insurgency and climate shocks in the Far North Region; and an influx of Central African Republic refugees in the Adamawa, East and North Regions. These emergencies have resulted in over 2.2 million forcibly displaced persons, including 408,620 refugees, one million internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 790,850 returnees.
• GDP projected growth of 4.4 percent in 2025, but food and nutritional needs remain severe. 2.9 million people are projected to face IPC3+ food insecurity between June and August 2026, including 250,000 people in IPC4. Stunting is affecting 29 percent of children under five with rates as high as 40 percent in some areas. Furthermore, 1.5 million school age children require education support due to conflict.
• WFP delivers lifesaving food and nutrition assistance while strengthening resilience among refugees, IDPs, and host communities across six crisis-affected regions. WFP also supports capacity strengthening of national institutions to identify and address the root causes of food insecurity; and provides logistics and air transport services to humanitarian partners to reinforce national and regional stability.
