A. Situation analysis
Description of the disaster
The Far North Region of Cameroon has been
experiencing population movement since 2006
with the crisis in Chad and now with the
political instability from the North east of
Nigeria. Substantial assistance has been
provided to refugees during the last few years
and this situation has increased the operational
capacities of different local and international
NGOs, the UN agencies and the Cameroon RC
in this region. From July 2014, a large number
of Nigerian refugees have been crossing the
border into Cameroon, fleeing the conflict:
about 35,000 refugees have been registered by
UNHCR. About 30,000 internally displaced
persons (IDPs) have also been reported,
following clashes at the border where some
villages and towns have been attacked. From
15 to 30 December 2014, more than 13,000
new arrivals were reported by local authorities,
including nearly 5,000 in the city of Mozogo,
and 8,000 others recently arrived the localities
of Moskota, Mozogo and Koza. Of the 13,000, Map of Cameroon.Photo/ IFRC:December, 2014
5,000 have been registered by the UNHCR and
relocation from Mozogo to the Minawao camp has started. In summary, 48,000 refugees have been identified by the
authorities, 34,996 checked and registered by UNHCR since May 2013, including 24,667 in the Minawao camp, 9,829
registered in the border areas of the Far North Region awaiting transfer to the camp, and 4,470 new arrivals to the
camp two weeks ago, including 2,918 transferred from Mozogo and Mokolo (Mayo Tsanaga Division) and 1,552
1
spontaneously arrived the camp. The camp presently hosts 24,667 refugees .
These figures are constantly increasing. The town of Mora (Mayo Sava Division) currently hosts the highest number
(as of November 2014, 835 families or 7,830 persons) of IDPs from Amchide, Limani, and Kolofatafleeing Some IDPs
have also sought refuge in the localities of Maga and Yagoua town. Most of them do not want to be registered
because they do not want to live in camps.
IDPs management is done in a small committee, under the lead of the Directorate of Civil Protection under the Ministry
of Territorial Administration and Decentralization. The ICRC and the Federation are members of this committee.
Most of the 3,188 cases of cholera recorded in Cameroon in 2014 have occurred in the Far North Region (the first
case was registered in April 2014). The main affected health districts in Far North region are Bourha, Mogode, Mokolo
and Goulfey. The total number of confirmed cases at the time of the assessment was 2,862 and 153 deaths. The
analysis of the evolution of the crisis indicate that, the 2009 and 2011 scheme of cholera spread out in country could
be repeated if drastic response and prevention actions are not taken immediately. The Government of Cameroon and
UNICEF have agreed on a programme of cooperation for the period 2013-2017 to improve the lives of children and
women in Cameroon the “UNICEF 2013-2017 Programme”.
According with the SMART survey, the Far North Region has a chronic malnutrition of 46.1% in children U-5 years and
up to 17.9 6% of the population is food insecure. In the region, the GAM is 9% while the Severe Acute Malnutrition
(SAM) has increased from 1.8% in 2013 to 2% in 2014. The Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) has also increased
from 6.8% in 2013 to 7% in 2014. The French RC is intervening in the region through a food security program (since
2012) and has a delegation of 4 staff and 150 volunteers (from Cameroon RC). The rain season has not been
favourable for the agriculture this year and the food security crisis will deteriorate during 2015.
This region is prone to disease epidemics such as cholera, meningitis, and poliomyelitis, flooding and food shortage
and as such the refugees and IDPs need assistance in the areas of health care/nutrition, water, hygiene and
sanitation, shelter and non-food items, food security, resilience and risk reduction. Capacity building actions are also
required to strengthen the capacity of Cameroon Red Cross volunteers and staff in order to enable them respond
efficiently and effectively to the crisis. IDPs have suspended their livelihood activities and now rely on assistance. The
host population are also bearing the burden of the IDP and refugees presence as their local resources and facilities
have been stretched, added to the abject poverty that characterises the region.
Summary of the current response
Overview of Host National Society
So far, the disaster management coordinator of the Cameroon Red Cross has conducted an assessment of the
situation, with support from the Federation and the ICRC. In addition, Cameroon Red Cross volunteers have been
supporting UNHCR in receiving, registering and guiding the refugees. The Cameroon Red Cross has responded in a
model Movement intervention, developing alliances within (IFRC, ICRC and French RC) and outside the Movement
(UNHCR, WFP, UNICEF) and has provided support to the affected population despite its lack of adequate resources.
The National Society has well defined activities ongoing in the East and Adamawa Regions, for refugees from the
Central African Republic (CAR) in the areas of:
 Community Services
 Distribution of food and non-food items
 Camp management.
If the Cameroon Red Cross is to intervene in the Far North Region, it will find itself working with few resources and
on several fronts in a large country. Thus strong Federation support (or stronger alliances with other partners) is
required urgently.
Overview of Red Cross Red Crescent Movement in country
The National Society is present throughout the territory with its 58 divisional committees. Presently the number of
volunteers is estimated at 40,000 with 18,000 of them being active. Up to 10,000 volunteers are trained in First Aid.
The Cameroon RC regularly holds its Ordinary General Assembly every four years, with the last held in November
2014.
At the national headquarters there is an operational management structure with five technical departments and also
has recently formed National Disaster Response Team (NDRT).A pool of trained volunteers that can be deployed to

SITREP UNCHR, Report on the Situation of Nigerian Refugees in Cameroon, 15 – 30 December 2014
any region of the country is available but there is need to further enhance their capacities for effective and efficient
service delivery in response.
IFRC’s regional representation for Central Africa (CARREP), in coordination with the Africa Zone office provides
technical support to the National Society with the supply of relief materials, development of action plans, logistics and
human resources as needed.
Movement Coordination
A meeting bringing together the National Society, ICRC, IFRC and the French Red Cross was held in Yaoundé,
Cameroon to debrief the IFRC/Cameroon RC assessment team. Furthermore discussions around the population
movement are held at the regular monthly Movement meetings.
Interagency coordination meetings are held in Maroua under the aegis of UNHCR, with the participation of UNICEF,
WFP, WHO, UN Women,UNFPA, International Emergency and Development Aid (IEDA Relief), Public Concern and
IMC (UNHCR partners), Association for Environmental Education in Cameroon (ACEEN.Action21-CAMEROON) - a
Cameroonian Environmental NGO based with national and international scope. It works in the fields of environmental
protection and the sustainable management of biodiversity through information, education and public awareness with
the support of Environmental Education and the NGO, Action Locale, for participatory development. A (LDEPA) 2
(UNICEF partners) and SAADEP (WHO partner) are also involved.

Needs analysis, beneficiary selection, risk assessment and scenario planning
Refugee and IDP beneficiaries will be selected according to laid down vulnerability criteria. Children, women, the
elderly and the disabled will be prioritized. Host population beneficiaries, especially those hosting IDPs or refugees
will be directly assisted and boreholes will be provided in each host village. The Far North Region has a 2.0%
prevalence rate of severe acute malnutrition (SAM), corresponding to the emergency threshold and the estimated
number of cases of pregnant and / or lactating women in the Far North having a perimeter brachial <210 mm - by

extrapolation - was 10,479 at the time of the survey.
Risk Assessment
2
3
SITREP - UNHCR
Preliminary Report of SMART 2014, OCHA
The on-going political instability in Nigeria has resulted in a huge population movement into Cameroon. The number of
Nigerian refugees was 19,726 on 13 December 2014. Most of the refugees are arriving in poor health conditions and
with low vaccination coverage.
B. Operational strategy and plan
Overall objective
Improve the living conditions of 5,000 families/households (2,500 Nigerian refugee households, 1,500 IDP
households and 1,000 host population families/households in areas where there are no conflicts) in the Far North
Region of Cameroon through health care, water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, and food security, nutrition and
livelihoods support and non-food items, Disaster preparedness and risk reduction, national society capacity building.
Proposed strategy
Findings from various assessment reports indicate that there are huge needs that are still not addressed, in particular
in areas of health care, water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, food security, nutrition and livelihoods support, nonfood items, disaster preparedness and risk reduction, national society capacity building.
The 25,000 targeted beneficiaries (5,000 households) are those refugees that originated from Nigeria and have fled to
Cameroon, Cameroon based IDPs, and host communities in the Far North Region. Beneficiaries for health activities
will specifically focus on the chronically ill, pregnant women, persons with disabilities, and the elderly. WASH facilities
are generally communal and thus will be strategically located in the underserved areas or camps where there is no
other actor involved or the response provided is insufficient to address the needs of beneficiaries. Priority will be given
to areas where the service coverage is below Sphere standards and those with increasing water-borne and waterrelated disease prevalence. The hygiene promotion and awareness campaigns will be carried out in the communities
and camps to benefit the refugees and host communities as well. The host community will also benefit from some of
the planned services. Food security, nutrition and livelihoods support will target all beneficiaries. Various training
sessions covering various intervention topics will be organized to build the capacity of volunteers.
Operational support services
Human resources
CARREP has a Regional Health Coordinator, a Regional Disaster Management Coordinator, a Programme Planning,
Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting (PMER) Assistant and a team providing support services. Additional technical
support is available from the Africa zone office in disaster management, health and care, organizational development,
planning, monitoring, evaluation and reporting (PMER), finance and administration, and mobilization of human
resources as needed. The National Society is present throughout the national territory with 58 Divisional committees
and an estimated 40,000 volunteers presently, out of whom up to 10,000 are, trained First Aiders. A total of 200
volunteers will be deployed to implement operation activities and CDRT’s training will be organised in every locality.
Logistics and supply chain
Logistics will support the operations, sourcing and delivering relief items in line with operational priorities. Regional
stock will be used immediately (most items required are already in stock in Yaoundé) and the items will be replaced
from Dubai. Other items (particularly construction materials) will be purchased in local markets in line with the IFRC
procurement procedures.
In close coordination with GLS Dubai Office, the Zone Logistics Unit (ZLU) in Nairobi will provide logistical support and
coordinate procurement and mobilization of items and material included in this emergency Appeal. All logistics
activities will follow IFRC procedures and will be conducted in a transparent and cost-efficient manner.
Information technologies (IT)
The National Society will use the internet network for communications to keep in touch with teams and communities.
The Far North regional branch office has no internet but measures will be put in place to ensure the branch maintains
regular communication with the headquarters and other humanitarian actors e.g. through the use of mobile phones.
Internet connectivity in these areas is covered by mobile USB sticks from operators such as CAMTEL (Cameroon
Telecommunications) and MTN.
Communications
The Cameroon Red Cross Society, with support from IFRC regional and zone communications, aims to coordinate
various awareness and publicity activities, to sensitize the public, media and donors on the situation on the ground
and the humanitarian response.
Planned Activities:
• Deploy IFRC regional/zone communications to Cameroon to support communications related activities of the
Cameroon Red Cross
• Hire photographer/videographer consultant to produce high quality photographs with extended captions, video and
interviews of operations
• Hold press conferences, either in Yaoundé or Geneva as warranted: Geneva communications to hold press
briefings, as required, to update international media on unfolding situation
• Produce weekly facts and figures, key messages and share with relevant stakeholders, including beneficiaries and
partners. Produce reactive lines as needed
• In collaboration with programmes, work on advocacy messages and opinion pieces to address issues linked to the
ongoing crisis in Cameroon and the region
• News releases, fact sheets, videos, photographs and qualified spokespeople are immediately developed and made
available to media and key stakeholders
• Proactively engage with international media regarding the added value of Red Cross interventions
• Facilitate media field trips to raise awareness among stakeholders and to raise the profile of the Cameroon Red
Cross Society and IFRC
• Maintain a social media presence throughout the operation utilizing IFRC and CRCS sites such as Facebook and
Twitter
• Support the launch of this appeal and other major milestones throughout the operation using people-centred,
community level diverse content, including web stories, blogs, video footage and photos with extended captions.
Share any communications material created through this appeal with IFRC for use on various communications
channels including the IFRC Africa web page, www.ifrc.org/africa.
• Provide the National Society communication team with communication training and appropriate equipment as
needed (photo and video camera)
Security
The security situation in the Far North Region is very critical and volatile. The Cameroon government has even
declared a state of emergency in the region. The IFRC Regional Representative is responsible for the security of all
IFRC personnel in country and all IFRC operations are to be conducted in accordance with IFRC requirements and
the security plans for Cameroon. ICRC is also present in the Far North Region and will be involved in coordination
around security issues.
Planning, monitoring, evaluation and reporting (PMER)
CARREP will support the National Society in developing a monitoring plan with indicators to measure the progress
and performance of operation. CAMCROSS will also establish a monitoring and evaluation system with support from
CARREP. Regular reports on the implementation will be produced and transmitted.
Administration and Finance
CARREP will ensure that CAMCROSS uses finance and administration manuals and procedures of the IFRC. The
National Society has a permanent administration and finance department which ensures proper use of financial
resources, in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between CAMCROSS and CARREP. Financial
resource management will be done according to the National Society’s regulations and Appeal funding guidelines.
C. DETAILED OPERATIONAL PLAN
Health & care
Needs analysis:
A needs analysis was conducted by the Cameroon RC with the support of the Zone DMU and the assessment report is available. The main recommendations were:
Recommendations for short term:
 To develop an emergency plan of action for the Far North region in coordination with French RC, ICRC and external partners. The potential intervention areas were
identified as relief/Non-food items, food security, Malnutrition, WASH and PSP.
 To develop a Movement Cooperation Agreement for the RC Movement in Cameroon.
 To finalize MoUs with external partners (UNICEF, UNHCR) and clarify operational aspects
 Cameroon RC NHQ and Federation to send additional human and financial resources to augment the capacity of the Maroua branch.
Recommendations for mid and long term:
 To advocate to the Government for the development of a cholera contingency plan for the North and Far North regions that includes Cameroun RC
 To increase community surveillance for cholera prevention (especially in the Far North region)
 To develop a NS WASH Plan for the Far North region
 To reinforce the cooperation with the Ministry of Health for mobilization of NS volunteers during polio campaigns
Population to be assisted:
Internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees and the local population in the localities of Kolofata, Amchidé (if the security situation improves), Ashigasha, Mogode, Bourha,
Goulfey, Mokolo, Roua, Kosa, Yagoua, Mora, and Kousseri) are targeted for support; up to 46.1% (representing the most glaring health issue that is malnutrition) of the
3,855,398 inhabitants of the region will be directly assisted intensively; however, indirect support through information and communication activities is expected to reach all the
inhabitants of the districts, with spill over to the region’s population. Only the beneficiaries living in non-conflict areas are targeted. These beneficiaries will be associated in
awareness sessions, while volunteers will come from these communities and through the CBHFA approach, beneficiaries will be main actors of the response. Although the
assessment was conducted by UNICEF and other partners, a rapid assessment even before the launch of activities should be carried out, given the almost daily
developments on the ground. Assessments by other partners shall serve as a starting point.
