fully realize their rights to development without restriction, as enshrined in
the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. UNICEF provides financial and
technical support to Cameroon across seven areas to fully realize the rights
of women and children. These areas include Health, HIV/AIDS,
Water-sanitation-Hygiene, nutrition, education, child protection, and social
inclusion. UNICEF focuses mainly on children and the most vulnerable and
excluded families. Cameroon’s 2020 population is estimated at 26,545,863
people according to UN data. The population is young and generates strong
socioeconomic demand. In rural areas, limited access to basic social services
and the effects of climate change led to household impoverishment and severe
child deprivations. The task is immense but not impossible; it requires the
energy of all stakeholders in Cameroon and outside of Cameroon: also, women,
men, youth and children, government, technical and financial partners, donors,
civil society, the private sector, parliamentarians, and communities. Everyone
is invited to participate in the struggle to meet the challenges ahead.
Together, we will act for Cameroon, a country that summarizes the challenges
and hopes of Africa.
