Strengthening nutrition and resilience to crises at the community level
Description
From 2026 to 2030, the Government of Cameroon is committed to increasing community involvement in nutrition in at least 50% of communal development plans (CDPs) and regional development plans (RDPs) as well as the associated annual investment plans (AIPs) and their monitoring. This commitment also covers the disaster management and crisis response component integrated into the DCPs and DRPs. The commitment is supported by the Ministry of Decentralization and Local Development, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries, the Ministry of Water and Energy, and the SUN Civil Society Platform.
To achieve this commitment, the main actions to be undertaken are the following:
• carry out an inventory of existing plans,
• Evaluate/Map nutrition-sensitive and nutrition-specific activities/intervention packages for each commune (reconciling the grassroots / macro level);
• Identify & categorize community-based adaptation innovations;
• Strengthen the capacities of CTDs/communities on understanding what nutrition is, what nutrition issues are, their links to crisis situations, and possible anticipatory actions.
