Supporting Multi-Sector Emergency Response Assistance for Populations Affected by the North-West, South-West Crisis in Cameroon Humanitarian needs in Cameroon remain high. In the North-West, South-West (NWSW), the socio-political crisis that erupted in 2017 after peaceful protests by lawyers and teachers against a perceived encroachment of the regions' cultural practices and autonomy turned into an armed conflict between government defense forces and Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs). The conflict has since continued to trigger significant and dynamic internal displacements and related humanitarian needs and shows no signs of de-escalation in the short to medium term. Over the course of 2021, the relationships between NSAG field commanders and members of the diaspora based outside of Cameroon have progressively deteriorated or strained, with diaspora leaders holding less and less influence in coordinating NSAG activities and facilitating humanitarian access, ultimately making humanitarian access negotiations more complex as coordinating with the diaspora no longer consistently secures access. With this project, IOM is contributing to the improvement of living conditions and the well-being of crisis-affected populations in North-West, South-West, Littoral and West regions by addressing the multi-sectoral humanitarian needs of affected populations with integrated programming through providing the humanitarian community with information on displacement trends and most pressing sectoral needs of conflict-affected populations.

Strengthening Climate Adaptation to Address the Adverse Environmental Drivers of Migration in Agriculture- and Resource-Dependent Communities in Southern Mexico Environmental change and disasters have long impacted communities in Mexico, affecting approximately 68% of the population at some point in their lives. Such changes can negatively impact livelihoods, well-being, and human security. Climate variability affects growing seasons, soil quality, and water availability, diminishing crop quality and productivity. Poor agricultural communities face recurrent flooding and lack resources for risk reduction, exacerbating their vulnerability. Slash-and-burn practices and extreme weather conditions contribute to wildfires, while sea-level rise threatens coastal areas, exacerbating flooding and soil salination. Promoting traditional agricultural practices and building adaptive capacities are crucial strategies. Despite promising pilot initiatives, government response remains limited due to funding and institutional challenges. To address the challenges highlighted above, IOM, in collaboration with expert climate change adaptation and agricultural specialists in the Rainforest Alliance and a wide array of local and federal governmental, academic, private sector, UN, and civil society partners, will work together to achieve the following ultimate result: Promote climate resilient agricultural practices among developing communities in Southern Mexico as a way of increasing adaptation to climate change and addressing the adverse environmental drivers of migration, while promoting safe livelihoods and migration options for environmental migrants.
