Synopsis (short abstract) Cameroon joined FAO in 1960 and cooperation was further strengthened with the opening of an FAO Representation in 1978. Over the years, FAO’s assistance has comprised a wide range of interventions, including implementation of the Special Programme for Food Security and strengthening of national capacities for formulating food and agriculture-related policies and projects. Today, resilience building is major feature of cooperation, including measures for coping with recurrent floods, erratic rainfall, the influx of refugees from neighbouring countries and Boko Haram incursions.

    EU Land Governance Programme Transversal Project - Cameroon
    LandCam: Securing land and resource rights and improving governance in forest areas of Cameroon
    2019
    Also available in:
    In Cameroon considerable land areas are under agribusiness and logging concessions. While private sector investments hold out promise for green growth and poverty reduction, the country faces key governance challenges. Overlapping rights allocated or claimed to land and resources in Cameroon’s forest areas, without due process, are driving insecurity, and in some cases may cause conflict. The EULGP CI support the promotion of effective, inclusive and transparent governance of tenure regimes for the mutual benefit and the peaceful coexistence of different right-holders claiming access to land and natural resources in Cameroon, with a specific focus on forestry areas of the country. *EULGP CI stands for European Union Land Governance Programme – Country Implementation

    Evaluation of five FAO projects funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency in Cameroon, Chad, Mali and the Niger

    The evaluation seeks to contribute to organization-wide learning by drawing lessons from the multi-year funded resilience projects implemented in the Sahel and Cameroon and making recommendations for future programming. FAO intervened in these countries to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable households affected by the crisis in the Sahel through promoting sustainable livelihood. The evaluation found that the projects contributed to an improvement in animal and agricultural production and strengthened social cohesion among the different communities. The evaluation also found that a multi-year funding mechanism is flexible and allows a transition from a humanitarian to a development approach if used efficiently. In its future programming, FAO should promote an integrated approach, targeting the same beneficiaries and enabling them to engage in productive activities and sustainable natural resource management. In fragile and emergency contexts, FAO should adapt its tools and procedures for more flexibility and adaptive management.
