Ongoing transmission  [ of Covid ]  is placing a huge strain on a health care system already overwhelmed by a lack of capacity and ongoing disease outbreaks such as malaria, measles and cholera.
The number of  [ security ]  incidents reported in 2020 is less than in 2019 however this is likely due to schools being closed because of COVID 19 and therefore not being targeted.
The COVID 19 outbreak has led to a spike of people in need in the spring of 2020. It is expected that 6.2 million people will be in need of humanitarian assistance in 2020, an increase of over 2.3 million due to the pandemic.
A special COVID 19 account, dedicated to financing the national response plan to the pandemic, has been created and is governed by a circular issued by the Minister of Finance. The circular specifies the modalities of organization, operation, and monitoring evaluation mechanisms of the account.
The OCHA spokesperson noted that lack of funding continues to be a major issue in Cameroon, with the $299 million appeal for 2019 only 41 per cent funded.

mouvements de population 82% : augmentation du nombre de personnes en situation de déplacement forcé au Cameroun  ( par rapport HNO 2018 )
Le Cameroun fait face à des situations d'urgence complexes réparties sur trois zones géographiques : la crise du bassin du lac Tchad à l'Extrême Nord, la crise des réfugiés centrafricains à l'est du pays, et celle dans les régions du Nord Ouest et du Sud Ouest. Ces trois crises ont un dénominateur commun: elles trouvent leur origine dans des conflits armés et leurs impacts sur les populations est exacerbé par des vulnérabilités structurelles préexistantes.
The conflict in the lake chad basin region : November 2019 = Despite the deployment of large security forces along the border since 2015, Boko Haram's cross border attacks continue to be violent, particularly in the departments of Mayo Sava and Mayo Tsanaga. As a result, the number of IDPs continues to increase in the Far North region. The region is now home to 488,000 people living in forced displacement  ( 272,000 IDPs, 107,000 Nigerian refugees and 110,000 returnees without sustainable solutions ) .
The severity map thus designed confirms that the North West, South West and Far North regions face the most severe humanitarian needs.  [ regarding physical and mental well being ]

The North West and South West markets are dominated by retailers who make up around 60% of all merchants. In the Northwest, 72% of small retailers are women. Men dominate wholesale trade in both regions, with most male traders  ( 61% )  being wholesalers. Clients are mainly men, indicating a potential risk of protection for women along the roads and at the market .
It  [ DRC ]  also distributed 500 shelter kits in Pokam, 500 in Kombone Mission, 200 in Dibuncha and Batoke; 200 in Mutengene and 125 in Miselele.
In urban areas like Kumba  ( SW ) , interviews with IDPs reveal their need for financial assistance to pay rents. Some of them have been evicted from their houses because of the inability to pay rent, causing secondary displacement. IDPs settled in the bushes face more challenges accessing basic services, especially in hotspots of the crisis.
Nutrition partners, mainly Action Against Hunger  ( AAH ) , Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services  ( CBCHS ) , Doctors Without Borders  ( Spain and Belgium ) , Reach Out, WFP and UNICEF have continued to provide nutrition services in the NWSW regions. Focus has been on providing a basic nutrition package that incorporates screening, referral, treatment of SAM, Vitamin A supplementation, capacity development and promotion of appropriate IYCF E practices including monitoring of breast milk substitutes.
La situation de conflit a fortement affecté la situation et les conditions de vie des femmes et des filles. Cette vulnérabilité s'est accentuée avec l'affaiblissement voire l'inexistence de tout le dispositif de protection en situation normale. Ainsi, la situation des violences sur les femmes et les filles est en nette augmentation depuis la crise.
Cases of breast ironing and female genital mutilation are noted, which already prevailed in some regions before the crisis.
The lack of a formal referral mechanism to guide survivors greatly limits their access to appropriate holistic services. Health centers, while more accessible, do not offer the privacy and confidentiality that is recommended for the treatment of such cases. Information about cases of violence is also not stored safely. Lack of support to cover medical costs as well as the lack of complete PEP kits undermine the quality of care.
child protection actors reached 37,709 beneficiaries with a variety of interventions: the provision of psychosocial support services to children and caregivers, reaching 13,703 beneficiaries  ( 11,583 children and 2,120 adults ) ; case management for unaccompanied and separated children  ( UASC )  and other vulnerable children reaching 893 children  ( 519 girls and 374 boys ) ; and support to community based child protection committees reaching 525 beneficiaries.
October 2020 was noteworthy for the high level of atrocities committed against children and education personnel in the NWSW regions. The education cluster, in collaboration with OCHA and with the support from partners, is engaging in advocacy with actors on the ground to refrain from attacks on education and the use of education as a political tool.
Only 730 primary schools out of 3,127  ( 23 per cent )  and 142 secondary schools out of 558  ( 25 per cent )  in the NW region are operational.

FAO and other organizations provided agriculture and livelihoods assistance to 10,395 persons  ( 4,518 NW; 5,877 SW ) . These livelihood projects include home gardening, egg production, trainings and fish farming/processing.
In both regions, most teachers are now out of work. In the NW, only 1,774  ( 10% )  out of 17,806 teachers are reporting to work. Teachers, who are still able to work, require training on crisis management, including providing psychosocial support to children, classroom management in crisis situations and crisis sensitive teaching.
Women and girls are at risk of being exploited and put their safety and protection at risk while trying to meet their basic needs
In the Far North, as a result of Boko Haram's attacks, thousands of people have been displaced since 2013 in a region that is experiencing recurrent droughts  ( 2009 and 2011 ) , floods  ( 2010, 2012, 2014, 2019 )  and epidemics  ( cholera in 2014, 2018 and 2019 ) . The number of people internally displaced rose from 60,000 in December 2014 to nearly 300,000 in December 2019.

Afin d'augmenter les réserves nationales, le gouvernement a ordonné l'importation de 200000 tonnes de riz à partir de juillet, bien que l'approvisionnement du marché soit resté inférieur à la moyenne. Le gouvernement a également interdit toute exportation illégale de riz vers le Nigeria, une pratique soupçonnée d'être à l'origine de la baisse constante de l'approvisionnement en riz dans le pays. Toutefois, ces efforts n'ont pas permis d'augmenter de manière significative les approvisionnements.

As previously, thresholds are breached for the two external debt service indicators, due to the fragile liquidity situation. The Covid 19 shock aggravates these breaches in the short term and raises debt stock projections. In addition, the PV of debt to exports ratio now breaches its threshold in 2020 due to the severe drop in exports and market financing risks have increased to moderate with a recent jump in EMBI spreads.
The regional supervisory body COBAC is closely monitoring the impactof the dual shock on the quality of portfolios and the profitability of financial institutions in CEMAC as borrowers face weaker repayment capacity. Moreover, COBAC has issued recommendations to financial institutions on prudent and transparent loan restructuring.
While the government is continuing to implement its Economic and Financial Program, supported by an Extended Credit Facility  ( ECF ) , the COVID 19 pandemic has appeared and is causing a significant impact on Cameroon's economy, potentially undoing hard won macroeconomic gains and endangering our development agenda.
The government is committed to prevent a collapse in revenue collection through various measures. Measures to mitigate the negative financial impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the private sector are also being considered, including strengthening social safety nets, subsidizing basic medications, and providing support to affected companies.
Given the sudden and pressing nature of the shocks, accommodative fiscal and monetary policies are warranted to mitigate the human and economic impact of the outbreak. However, the authorities remain committed to their reform agenda under the ECF  [ Extended Credit Facility ]  arrangement. They plan to undertake adjustments to return to the fiscal consolidation path once the crisis abates to safeguard debt sustainability and ensure a strong recovery.

Cameroon has its first cases of COVID 19 on 5 March 2020. The pandemic affects all ten regions of the country. As of 30 April 2020, 2,069 cases including 61 deaths have been registered. The most affected regions are the Centre  ( 1,152 cases with 19 deaths ) , the Littoral  ( 739 cases with 39 deaths )  and the West  ( 103 cases with 2 deaths ) .
March 2020 Cadre Harmonisé modelling data indicates that 854,302 people in the North West representing 34% of the total population of this region and 618,746 in South West representing 33% of the total population of this region are estimated to be in crisis  ( phase 3+ ) .
In terms of natural hazards such as floods or droughts, the INFORM 2019 risk index shows that the Far North  ( 5.8 ) , the East  ( 5.2 )  and the North West  ( 5 )  have a level of risk far above the average. The occurrence of a natural disaster  ( floods or drought )  in 2020 is likely in these regions, although the impact is predicted to remain moderate. The combination of such a crisis with the current humanitarian situation and persistent insecurity would further affect the quality of life of the people in these regions.
The loss of jobs and income due to Government measures taken to combat COVID 19 poses an additional security threat, especially in major towns and cities, as it could encourage banditry in the absence of mitigation measures.
[ Survey in NW, SW, Littoral and West region, conducted on 4,638 people through one to one interview using a survey tool ]  A key finding of this report is the high penetration of awareness raising and prevention messaging  across all regions surveyed, for both men and women, and across all age groups, respondents are aware of COVID 19 and are trying to protect themselves and their communities by preventing the spread of the virus. However, these high rates of awareness do not necessarily correspond to sufficient capacity to follow measures, or to mitigate the secondary impact of the virus on protection, education, nutrition, and livelihoods.
The socio economic impact of COVID 19 and associated measures is being felt widely and communities are balancing prevention measures with other basic needs; this must be taken into account when designing responses if they are to be successful. For example, households being asked to reduce movement or to quarantine must be supported with food and basic necessities for this to be safe and successful.
From February to September 2020, the national NGO “Reach Out', partner of WHO, provided life saving essential health care services in the North West and South West regions.

While populations in Cameroon, including their children, continue to be affected by the direct and indirect consequences of protracted humanitarian crises in the Far North, West and Adamawa, and in the North West and South West regions, they are also hit by the COVID 19 outbreak since early 2020. This outbreak sharply impacts the close environment in which children are living in a negative way: it increases the risks for children and women of being victims of physical, verbal and emotional violence, abuse, exploitation, and neglect as well as the risk of discrimination and family separation or dislocation.
At times, non state armed groups have confiscated branded materials  ( sheeting, jackets ) , which, if used during their operations against armed forces, may cause reputational damage for humanitarian actors.
