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 insurmountable; 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 take part in the struggle to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life ? in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions ? her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens ? addressing inequity ? not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries.

The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life ? in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions ? her or his rights are violated.

Eliminating child poverty and ensuring access to social protection has been recognized as a critical priority of Agenda 2030: Access to social protection is a core target of SDG 1 (Elimination of poverty), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), as a core component to ensure that no child is left behind. The full realization of the right of children to access to social protection and adequate standard of living will not only ensure that every child lives free of poverty, but also prevent those at risk or vulnerable to poverty due to exclusion and discrimination, or facing environmental and conflict related risks, from falling into poverty. UNICEF has clearly articulated its Social Policy and Social Protection priorities and added value towards the Sustainable Development goals in the Strategic Plan 2022-2025, under Goal Area 5 ?Every Child has Access to Inclusive Social Protection and Lives Free of Poverty?.The South Asia region, home to over 26% of the world's children, carries a disproportionate share of deprivations for its children, including malnutrition, lack of access to learning and skills, and harmful practices such as child marriage. Households with children are more likely to be in poverty and many children face multiple deprivations. In addition, the region is vulnerable to crises, including climate related disasters. Over the last years, the impact of COVID-19 and cost-of-living crisis has been devastating. Social protection can support children and their families to meet their basic needs. Social protection can also have a stabilizing effect during crises and prevent shock-induced poverty and greater inequality.UNICEF at all levels has committed itself to supporting governments amid these challenges to achieve inclusive and adaptive social protection to combat child poverty and the multiple deprivations, through analysis, evidence-based advocacy, technical support, and capacity-building support governments. In South Asia, UNICEF provides programmatic, analytical, and technical support in social protection (including disability-sensitive, gender-responsive, and shock-responsive, including linkages with humanitarian cash transfers), and advocacy, to support more equitable and more sustainable results for children.
