Synopsis (short abstract) In Cameroon, the Far North region is grappling with a worsening multidimensional crisis – climatic, humanitarian and security-related – that severely undermines peoples' food security. In response, the European Union has provided EUR 2.95 million in funding to FAO's project entitled: “Reducing humanitarian needs in the Far North by scaling up anticipatory actions”. The project will run until 30 June 2026 and aims to reduce vulnerability and improve the livelihoods of rural communities by enhancing coordination and strengthening local governance mechanisms for preparedness and anticipatory response.

    Cameroon, as most countries in the Sahel, is currently facing shocks that are affecting people’s food security and livelihoods. The upsurge in attacks by non‑state armed groups in the Far North region on the border with Nigeria, the sociopolitical crisis in the North-West and South-West regions and the influx of Central African refugees in the East and Adamawa regions are the main factors exacerbating people’s vulnerabilities. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) together with the Kingdom of Belgium contribute to the Government of Cameroon’s Emergency Plan to Combat Food Crisis in the country through agriculture and livestock support in the eastern region.

    Cameroon faces a multifaceted crisis due to the conflict in the Lake Chad Basin and Far North, the influx of refugees from the Central African Republic, ongoing tensions in the North-West and South-West regions, and the impact of natural hazards. Hundreds of people continue to flee from their homes in search of safety, causing tensions with host communities over scarce resources. Agriculture provides a livelihood to around 70 percent of the population, yet receives less than 2 percent of humanitarian funding to food sectors. Crisis-affected families urgently need scaled‑up support to produce their own food.
