Description:
March 2021 - Cameroon is experiencing three distinct humanitarian crises in 2021 that include: (1) violence in northeastern Nigeria, cross-border raids and suicide attacks have caused massive displacements in the Far North region; (2) conflict and insecurity in the Central African Republic continue to cause an influx of refugees east of the country; and (3) insecurity in the North-West and South-West regions has led to massive internal displacement. In 2021, at least 4 million people in Cameroon would require humanitarian assistance to meet their basic survival and protection needs exacerbated by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic negative impact.
With GAC's support, Plan Canada is addressing the urgent child protection and Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) needs of 20,380 internally displaced people and other conflict-affected people in the North West and South West regions. Project activities include: (1) establishing equipped safe Child and Adolescent-Friendly Spaces with gender-responsive and accessible improved latrines, handwashing facilities and water supply; (2) providing comprehensive age- and gender-responsive and inclusive case management support services; (3) delivering family tracing and reunification support to unaccompanied and separated children; (4) distributing in-kind safety kits to at-risk adolescent girls, young women and SGBV survivors; and (5) conducting community awareness campaigns on COVID-19 prevention, hygiene promotion and menstrual hygiene management.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased equitable access to quality, gender-responsive, inclusive and age-appropriate child protection services for vulnerable girls, boys, adolescent girls and adolescent boys in targeted communities; and (2) increased equitable access to life saving Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) prevention and support networks for SGBV survivors, at-risk girls, adolescent girls and young women.
The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
