Situation Report

Highlights • From 25-27 April, Marie-Pierre Poirier, UNICEF Regional Director

for West and Central Africa Region visited projects in the Far

North and East regions to evaluate the humanitarian situation

and advocated for the priorities for children, including birth

registrations.

• UNHCR and UNICEF with support of WFP donated 30 tons of non-

food items including soaps to be distributed in Mamfe and Kumba

sub-divisions in South West region for estimated 23,000 people

affected by the Anglophone crisis.

• As part of the development of an exit strategy for Temporary

Learning and Protective Spaces (TLPSs), a joint mission was

conducted to verify the situation of 87 TLPSs at six refugee sites

Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs Based on the inter-agency assessment conducted from 25-30 March, Emergency Response Plan for North West and

South West Regions is being developed under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator supported by UNOCHA.

In addition to some 40,000 IDPs identified at the time of assessment mission, the additional information provided by

local NGOs and churches as well as other information from the health districts brought up the total estimated people in

need to 160,000 (150,000 for South West, 10,000 for North West). UNICEF coordinated the sectors and developed

response plans for WASH and Education, while contributed to the response plans for Health and Protection sectors. A

total of four projects have been submitted under WASH, Education, Health and Protection. Meanwhile, the initial

distribution of 30 tons of non-food items consisting of blankets, mattress and soaps was completed with the support of

churches in Mamfe and Kumba sub-divisions, South West region, to which UNICEF contributed 1,100 cartons of soap

covering the needs of estimated 23,000 people for two months.

At Zamai site, Far North region, where some 1,700 people consisting of IDPs and returnees from Nigeria are hosted, low

productivity of existing boreholes remains an issue, exacerbated by the pressure imposed by the IDPs and returnees and

the host populations. The scabies outbreak adds additional challenge to the residents of this site. In this regard, UNICEF

has provided the Regional Health Delegate with 100 litres of Ascabiol to treat this infectious skin disease. As the scabies

are related to poor hygiene practices, hygiene promotion activities are planned in May.

At the IDPs site in Kolofata, Far North region, UNICEF is in the process of identifying an enterprise to build sustainable

infrastructure for drinking water supply. However UNICEF faces a challenge in attracting an enterprise to realise the

borehole construction, most likely due to insecurity in the area.

Needs assessments were conducted by UNICEF in different locations of Mayo Sava and Logone and Chari departments

(Makari, Blangoua, Goulfey) in Far North region. Makari was selected due to the presence of a great number of returnees,

and Blangoua and Goulfey are at the border area with Chad where UNICEF is implementing a peacebuilding project with

UNDP, thus the mission was to evaluate other humanitarian needs for IDPs and returnees. The assessment report is

being developed and the preliminary findings indicate strong needs in water, education, child protection for IDPs,

returnees and host populations.

With the resurgence of violence in the Central African Republic (CAR), 107 asylum-seekers, majority of them women and

children of Christian faith from Bangui and its surroundings fearing reprisal attacks by an armed group, were escorted by

the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) to

Garoua-Boulai in East region. Asylum seekers informed the authorities that more are expected to arrive.

As part of the development of an exit plan for Temporary Learning and Protective Spaces (TLPSs) set up in 2014 to cater

to the needs of refugee children during their massive influx in East and Adamaoua regions, UNICEF in collaboration with

Ministry of Basic Education, UNHCR and NGO partners carried out a joint field mission to assess the situation at the 87

TLPSs in six refugee sites. This mission involved a comparative analysis between the needs related to the transfer of

students from TLPSs to schools in the host communities for the next school year and the capacity of these schools in

terms of teachers and infrastructure (including water and sanitation facilities), equipment, materials and school supplies.

The results of the evaluation as well as the budget for the exit plan will be available in May. The assessment revealed the

need to transfer 11,314 students from TLPSs to only 11 host schools that are already overwhelmed by 7,038 students who

are currently enrolled, and moreover are expecting about 7,325 refugee and host community children who will reach the

school age in 2018. This is quite challenging but critical transition given the need for more sustainability and enhanced

resilience of the host communities.

Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination • The Humanitarian/Resident Coordinator leads the overall humanitarian coordination, supported by OCHA.

• At the national level, UNICEF and the Government are co-leading the nutrition, WASH and education sectors, as

well as the sub-sectoral group for child protection.

• At the field level, UNHCR leads inter-sector coordination, which addresses particularly challenges and gaps both for

refugees, IDPs and host communities in the Far North. This extends into the coordination of the humanitarian

response to the Central African Republic refugee crisis in the regions of the East and Adamawa. UNHCR organizes

monthly meetings with other humanitarian actors, to consolidate data and harmonize interventions.

Humanitarian Strategy UNICEF’s integrated programme is based on four pillars: building a protective environment and supporting community

peacebuilding; preventing and responding to the violent exploitation of children; increasing access to basic services; and

strengthening emergency preparedness and response systems. All four pillars bridge the humanitarian-development

nexus and foster community resilience to outside pressures, such as conflict or population displacement, while

supporting the State to anticipate and respond to shocks. UNICEF aims at strengthening collaboration between

community-based structures and government services to provide care and protection to children, particularly the most

marginalized. By supporting community dialogue mechanisms, inter-generational dialogue and non-violent

relationships among peers, UNICEF works to foster social cohesion, giving children a voice and rebuilding community

linkages. Recognizing that lack of access to basic services exposes children to vulnerabilities, UNICEF supports the

Government to strengthen the quality of service delivery at the community level by training community workers and

establishing needed infrastructure, improving access to water and sanitation in schools and health centres, developing

community health mechanisms and improving the quality of education. Furthermore, UNICEF is working with non-

governmental organizations and other partners to implement mechanisms for monitoring and responding to

emergencies in a timely and effective manner. Summary Analysis of Programme Response UNICEF humanitarian assistance primarily focuses on IDPs, out-of-camp Nigerian refugees and host communities

affected by the violence caused by Boko Haram, as well as the refugees who fled the armed conflict in CAR, and host

communities.

Lake Chad Basin (LCB) Crisis

Nutrition1

UNICEF continued to support the implementation of Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) activities in

Far North with 349 health facilities and in North with 203 health facilities. In March, 3,260 children and 1,304 children

aged 6-59 months were admitted across UNICEF supported health centres in Far North and North respectively, bringing

1 Due to the reporting system of the ministry, the admission data of the concerned month is reported in the following month (i.e. January data are reported in February).

the total number of children admitted to 7,262 including 99 Nigerian refugee children in Far North, and 3,690 children in

North region since January 2018.

Two joint supervisory visits were conducted with the Ministry of Health and implementing partners at five health facilities

providing IMAM services: four in Kousseri health district, and one in Zamai in Mokolo health district. The main objectives

of these visits were to assess the quality of IMAM services being provided at the UNICEF-supported centres as well as to

do on-the-job training of health staff mainly on growth measurements and counselling on the use of Ready-to-Use

Therapeutic Food (RUTF) at home. Monthly data have been checked and corrected before sending to the health

authority and the mission ensured the availability and correct use of IMAM tool by service providers and the follow-up of

community mobilization component.

In March, 98,617 people (70,267 females and 28,350 males) were sensitized on Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) and

hygiene practices in seven health districts that are the most impacted by displacements (Goulfey, Kolofata, Kousseri,

Koza, Mada, Makary, and Mora). The IYCF sensitization sessions were accompanied with 424 cooking demonstrations.

In March, an exhaustive screening of acute malnutrition among children aged 6-59 months was conducted in Logone and

Chari department (Goulfey, Kousseri, Mada and Makari health districts) in Far North region by UNICEF implementing

partners. A total of 174,546 children (90,100 girls and 84,446 boys) were screened for acute malnutrition, among them

18,776 children were internally displaced (10.8%). The results showed that 5,221 children (2.9%) were with Moderate

Acute Malnutrition (MAM) and 478 children (0.3%) with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM). The SAM children were

referred for treatment to the nearest health facilities providing IMAM services, while the caregivers of MAM children

received counselling on IYCF practices.

Health

UNICEF provided Zamai health area in Mokolo health district with 100 bottles of benzyl benzoate to combat the scabies

outbreak at Zamai site for 1,770 people among them 717 children. UNICEF in collaboration with the Health Delegation

plans to conduct hygiene promotion activities in May in order to prevent further infection. UNICEF provided 350 buckets

of 20 litres with lids and 50 cartons of soaps to be used in the hygiene promotion activities.

WASH

In the IDP site of Kolofata hosting 4,943 IDP in Mayo Sava department, the current ratio stands at 35 persons per latrine

and 49 persons per shower. MSF Swiss continues to provide water through water trucking in this site, however the

operation is very costly, thus not sustainable. As the long-term solution, UNICEF plans to construct water points,

however has faced difficulty in attracting an enterprise to implement the work most likely due to security situation.

UNICEF continues to look for other enterprises to ensure that the work starts as soon as possible. A new partnership

agreement was signed with the international NGO IRC to improve the aforementioned ratios for latrines and showers

through the construction of additional 200 latrines and 200 showers to achieve the standard of 20 persons per latrine and

shower. With the partnership agreement signed with NGO AIDER, the diagnostics conducted for 31 damaged boreholes

in Mayo Sava and Mayo Tsanaga departments found that 16 of 31 boreholes (51%) could be rehabilitated. Of these 16

boreholes, AIDER will rehabilitate 10.

Education

200 teachers from Koza and Mayo Moskota in Mayo Tsanaga department were trained in psychosocial support and

Conflict and Disaster Risk Reduction (C-DRR). This training empowered the teachers to know how to cater to the needs

of children who have experienced a trauma during crisis, making them more resilient. Teachers will engage these children

in developing emergency response plans in their various schools so as to be aware of how to react when faced with a

danger. The teachers have reached 971 children so far with the psychosocial and C/DRR messages.

A series of supervisory missions to monitor education activities were undertaken in Mokolo commune, such as Connect

my School, the Radio Education Program (REP) and the effective utilization of TLPSs, during which 36 mats were

provided to the Inspectorate of Mokolo to be placed at five TLPSs constructed in Baigai and Dzawandai. These mats will

serve to encourage children to come and learn by making these spaces more comfortable. Furthermore, the two listening

groups in Baigai participating in the REP were provided with two new radios and USB keys containing complete lessons

with C-DRR messages integrated.

Child Protection

During the reporting month, continuous efforts bore fruit and 17 children (8 girls and 9 boys) were reunified with their

families. Among them, 12 children (6 girls and 6 boys) were reunified in Mayo Sava department, and two other boys

suspected of association with armed groups received psychosocial support and were reunified with their family. One boy

previously detained in Maroua prison due to suspected association with armed groups and previously released was

reunified with his mother. Four children suspected of association with armed groups were finally released from the

Maroua prison following the procedure of ‘habes corpus’ as a result of the strong advocacy effort by UNICEF. They were

all reunified with their families, receiving support in processing their birth certificates and national identity cards, and

discussion is underway for the life skill activities for the reintegration into the community. Two girls (aged 14 and 10) who

were amongst the returnees from Nigeria at Zamai site were both reunified with their fathers in Garoua and the Minawao

refugees camp respectively. A 17-year-old girl kidnapped in 2015 by Boko Haram at school was released this month and

placed in a host family in Kolofata.

In addition to 5,097 children (2,356 girls and 2,741 boys) who benefited from psychosocial support activities in

community-based child friendly and secure spaces, specific psychosocial support continued to be provided to 717 children

(321 girls and 396 boys) at Zamai site including 228 IDP children who were displaced prior to 2017, 219 children (104 girls

and 115 boys) who were returnee children from Nigeria, and 270 newly arrived children (124 girls and 146 boys) who were

displaced from Moskota, Zheleved, Nyechewe and Tchebe-Tchebe villages of the Mayo Tsanaga department since mid-

January 2018.

1,174 adolescents (608 girls and 566 boys), who are members of 34 clubs in Mayo Sava, Mayo Tsanaga and Logone and

Chari departments, benefited from targeted psychosocial support, life skills and peace building activities. They are now

becoming peer educators in their own communities to sensitize people on violence prevention and risks of armed groups.

Communication for Development (C4D)2: As part of the joint human security project with UNDP, UNICEF has established a strategic partnership with religious

leaders’ platform ACADIR and the NGO ACDEV, for the promotion of Essential Family Practices (EFPs), peacebuilding,

social cohesion and strengthening of community resilience and community engagement in Kousseri, Maga and

Moulvoudaye communes. For the implementation of EFPs, two studies relating to analysis of young people's perception

of their rights and the stakeholder analysis have been launched in these areas. 56 religious leaders in Moulvoudaye have

been trained to reinforce their knowledge on keys thematic issues and interpersonal communication skills. A cell

composed of leaders from four main religions (Islam, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox) was set up with an action plan

for the promotion of EFPs, peacebuilding, social cohesion and the strengthening of participation in their respective

communities. Maga and Kousseri's religious leadership training and planning workshops will be held in June.

In partnership with national NGOs ACDEV, AGADJAS, and RESAEC, UNICEF continues to promote EFPs in Mozogo,

Fotokol and Kolofata.

CAR Refugee crisis

Nutrition

IMAM activities are ongoing within the 121 and 123 health facilities respectively in East and Adamaoua regions. In March,

445 children aged 6-59 months were admitted to UNICEF supported health centres, As a result, since January 2018, a

total of 655 new SAM admissions have been recorded in Adamaoua region, while 1,006 were recorded in East region.

In March, 1,188 home visits to mothers of children aged 0-23 months were conducted in Garoua-Boulai and Betare Oya

health districts for the counselling on the exclusive breastfeeding and adequate complementary feeding practices per

the age of the child. Sensitization sessions were organised for 2,148 people (414 of them were men) including mothers

and community leaders on the best IYCF practices in Garoua-Boulai and Betare Oya health districts.

2 While C4D started reporting in the situation report in January 2018, and the result covers from the beginning of the projects in December 2017.

In April, 87 health personnel and 126 Community Health Workers (CHWs) from Batouri, Kette and Ndelele health districts

(East Region) were trained on Home-Based Fortification Program (HBFP) activities for the kick off of the community

IYCF intervention coupled with HB programme for which 14,000 children aged 0-23 months with their parents are

targeted across three health districts.

The second distribution of Micronutrients Powders for the IYCF/HBFP is ongoing in Betare Oya and Garoua-Boulai health

districts in East region where 5,217 children aged 6-23 months are targeted.

Health

UNICEF continued to invest in the local capacity building in East and Adamaoua regions. 20 communication

professionals from 10 community radio stations in Adamawa region were trained on immunization promotion, child

marriage and birth registration. In East region, 140 health facility managers and 14 health districts were equipped with

smartphones and trained in real-time monitoring of vaccine use. In the health district of Abong Mbang, East region, 40

maternity service providers and 60 CHWs were trained on the monitoring of maternal deaths, newborn care, Kangaroo

care, birth registration and early detection of HIV in children.

WASH

The construction of 12 gender sensitive block of latrines in six schools is ongoing in East region with around 60%

completed. The implementation of WASH project is very limited in East and Adamaoua regions due to lack of funding.

Education

During the reporting month, UNICEF focused on activities to prepare for a meeting on the exit strategy in a bid to transfer

CAR refugee children from TLPSs to the host community schools in East and Adamawa regions. Preparatory meetings

were held with Ministry of Basic Education, Regional Delegation for Basic Education for East and Adamawa, and UNHCR

as well as NGO partners Plan International, JRS, and CRS. A joint mission with these partners learned that there are only

11 host community schools having a total of 7,038 students (2,667 girls and 4,371 boys) including 4,346 refugee children

(1,732 girls and 2,614 boys) already transferred from the TLPSs. Meanwhile, 11,314 children (4,913 girls and 6,401 boys)

out which 1,403 are newly registered are currently enrolled at the TLPSs in six refugee sites (Borgop, Ngam, Gado, Mbile,

Lolo and Timangolo), while remaining 13,274 refugee children are currently out of school, partially due to the limited

capacity of the host community schools as well as the TLPSs, and partially due to lack of understanding on the part of

the parents on the importance of education. All these elements provide significant challenges for the upcoming school

year starting in September for children to study in a more durable system in the host community schools. More

sensitization activities for parents and communities are planned in near future.

Child Protection

The Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for protecting children affected by the CAR crisis in East, Adamaoua and

North regions were revised under the leadership of UNHCR in close collaboration with UNICEF. SOPs were signed by all

stakeholders. All the activities with partnership agreements from last year finished in March, and there is currently no

ongoing activities due to lack of funds.

Media and External Communication Marie-Pierre Poirier, UNICEF Regional Director for West and Central Africa Region visited projects in Far North and East regions to evaluate the humanitarian situation and challenges that the children of Cameroon are facing. When meeting with the ministries, Regional Director advocated for the priorities for children, including birth registrations: https://bit.ly/2w8Fqa7 .

Security The reporting period witnessed a slight increase in the total number of incidents and casualty figures in Far North

region with a total number of 19 recorded incidents resulting in 26 deaths and 14 injured, indicating 10% increase in the

total number of incidents and 37.5% increase in the total number of casualty figures. This is a reminder of the

capabilities of the armed groups to operate in a relatively low intensity conflict.

https://bit.ly/2w8Fqa7

Cases of incursions by armed forces in Gbiti and kidnaping of individuals in Garoua-Boulai and Gbiti in the localities

near CAR border continue to be reported. Kidnaping cases are increasingly targeting children, with six refugee children

between the ages of 10 and 15 kidnapped in April.

Cohabitation between refugees and host communities remains under strain especially in areas of high concentration of

refugees. Several allegations of rape of refugee women (involving both adults and minors) by Cameroonian national(s)

at the Gado site were reported by an NGO. Also in Gado site and the village of Gado, some conflicts between refugees

and host populations which resulted in minor injuries have occurred at the water points. The breakdown of some water

points have aggravated the need and the quest for drinking water. In the Yolo district of Meiganga, an agro-pastoral

conflict between Central African herdsmen and Cameroonian farmers resulted in the death of a Cameroonian farmer.

Three Central Africans were arrested and held in custody for investigation.

North West and South West regions continued to present a recurrent and deteriorating aspect of reportedly open

confrontations between secessionists and security forces. Though these confrontations remain somehow isolated in

some areas across the regions, their impact on the overall threat profile in the areas can never be underestimated. The

area has also witnessed a resurgence of the use of improvised explosive devices namely in a complex attack involving

the convoy in South West region.

Funding UNICEF expresses its gratitude to the Government of Japan, France, United States, Norway and Sweden, as well as to

ECHO, CERF, the United Nations Trust Fund for Human Security and the Spanish National Committee who have

contributed generously to the humanitarian response in 2018. Further adequate, predictable and flexible resources will

allow UNICEF and its partners to respond effectively where needs are greatest and reach the most disadvantaged

children in Cameroon, including children affected in the newly emerging crisis in the Anglophone regions.

*All results are cumulative. ** The target includes 10,000 people for the North region. ***UNICEF targets can exceed that of the sector because the nutrition sector does not cover refugee camps, whereas UNICEF covers both the camps and out-of-camp refugees. Nutrition normally reports the data received from the previous month due to the reporting system from the ministry.
