Increasing domestic financial resources for nutrition

From 2026 to 2030, the Government of Cameroon commits to increasing domestic financing for nutrition in line with the priorities identified in the NDS 30, by 10% per year, with the objective of achieving a 50% change by 2030. This commitment will help mobilize more resources at the sector level to finance projects, programs and investments for nutrition development in Cameroon. The sectoral commitments retained in the accountability framework of the Multisectoral Nutrition Development Plan will thus be financed and implemented at the central, regional and communal levels through the dedicated bodies. The commitment will be carried out by the Prime Minister's Office, with a particular contribution expected from the private sector in the context of corporate social responsibility.

The main indicator of this commitment will be the annual rate of increase in the budget allocated/tagged towards nutrition-specific, sensitive and cross-cutting interventions for each sector. It will also assess the number of Medium-Term Expenditure Frameworks (MTEFs) developed, matured and validated by each sector for the financing of nutrition-related interventions.

The main actions to be carried out to achieve the commitment will include the establishment of a nutrition information platform anchored at the level of the National Institute of Statistics (INS) to monitor the data of the PNDN results framework (budget, program, process, impact data), and ongoing advocacy actions to support financing for nutrition (i.e. a resource mobilization roundtable, the popularization of the Cost of Hunger study, the mapping of potential donors, the reactivation of the SUN/Donor platform, the consideration of nutrition priorities in the development of the budget framework letter, etc.).
