Title:
Cameroon - Emergency Assistance in the North-West and South West Regions – Plan Canada 2020
Agreement Number:
7419944 P008939001
Agreement Value:
$1,000,000.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 27, 2020 - Apr 30, 2021
Description:
February 2020 - Conflict and instability has left Cameroon facing three distinct humanitarian situations: (i) internally displaced persons (IDPs) and Nigerian refugees residing in the conflict-affected Lake Chad basin; (ii) Central African refugees fleeing insecurity in Central African Republic (CAR); and (iii) conflict between Anglophone separatists and the Cameroonian government. With little prospect for the resolution of any of these situations, at least 4.4 million people in Cameroon are expected to require humanitarian assistance to meet their basic survival and protection needs in 2020.
With GAC's support, Plan International Canada is addressing the urgent protection, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) needs of over 21,000 internally displaced people and other conflict-affected people in the North West and South West regions. Project activities include: (1) establishing community-based safe spaces and structures; (2) delivering comprehensive case management support services to vulnerable children, including child survivors of sexual and gender-based violence; (3) providing cash/voucher assistance to crisis-affected adolescents, youth and vulnerable households; (4) constructing gender-responsive community-latrines including handwashing stations in communities hosting IDPs; and (5) conducting hygiene promotion and sanitation awareness sessions for children, adolescents, households comprising IDPs, and host community members.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased availability of quality gender-responsive child protection services for targeted IDPs and host communities; (2) increased knowledge of adequate hygiene practices (including menstrual hygiene management) for adolescent girls and boys; and (3) increased access to gender-responsive and sustainable WASH facilities and services.
