Background/Context
The three ongoing crises in Cameroon - the Northwest-Southwest (NW-SW) crisis, the Lake Chad Basin crisis, and the Central African Republic (CAR) crisis. Established in 2017, NRC Cameroon now has operations in the Far North region (Maroua and Kousseri), the Northwest-Southwest regions (Buea and Bamenda), and in the East (Batouri). NRC programming covers emergency through to recovery and involves integrated approaches across Education, Information Counselling&Legal Assistance(ICLA), Livelihood Food Security(LFS), Shelter, and WASH.
