Cameroon is one of our pilot countries in West Africa. The project activities are coordinated by CBM.
Cameroon is a country located in Central Africa, bordered by Nigeria to the west, Chad to the northeast, the Central African Republic to the east, and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo to the south. The country is currently facing the humanitarian impact of three complex crises: the Lake Chad Basin conflict, the North-West and South-West crisis, and the influx of refugees from the Central African Republic.
In 2025, an estimated 3.3 million people in Cameroon require lifesaving assistance and protection. Violence, natural disasters, and epidemics continue to threaten the well-being and living conditions of local populations, especially the most at risk, including women, girls, persons with disabilities, persons of older age, and children, who bear the brunt of violence and disrupted basic services. Displacement, limited access to essential services such as healthcare and education, and loss of livelihoods have further exacerbated humanitarian and protection needs across the country.

Within the "Phase 4-Leave no one behind!” in Cameroon, continuous involvement will be maintained in the development of the Humanitarian Response and Needs Plan in Cameroon, ensuring that the needs and perspectives of persons with disabilities are fully integrated.
Furthermore, training sessions will be conducted using existing training packages, with a particular focus on health and protection, to strengthen the capacity of stakeholders engaged in disability-inclusive humanitarian action.
Additionally, a small-grant scheme will be provided to the Plateforme Inclusive Society for Persons with Disabilities and the Coordinating Unit of Association of Persons with Disabilities. These organizations, who have already strongly collaborated with CBM in the last phase of the project, will implement activities such as supporting OPDs' participation in humanitarian coordination meetings, conducting data collection and needs assessments, leading advocacy and sensitization campaigns on inclusive humanitarian action, and strengthening staff capacity for effective humanitarian response and resource mobilization.
Founded in 2005, CUAPWD is an umbrella organization with 11 member organizations of persons with disabilities, headquartered in the North-West Region of Cameroon. Over the years, CUAPWD has built strong partnerships with public authorities and private sector institutions, gaining a solid reputation. Its work has been significantly supported by CBMs long-term local partner, the Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services (CBCHS) through various disability-focused programs.
