For every child, the right to innovation

UNICEF has been working in Cameroon since 1975 to enable women and children to fully exercise their right to unrestricted development, as enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. UNICEF provides financial and technical support to Cameroon in seven areas in order to fully realise the rights of women and children. These areas include health, HIV/AIDS, water, sanitation and hygiene, nutrition, education, child protection and social inclusion. UNICEF focuses primarily on the most vulnerable and excluded children and families. The population of Cameroon in 2020 is estimated at 26,545,863 according to UN data. The population is young and generates strong socio-economic demand. In rural areas, limited access to basic social services and the effects of climate change are leading to impoverished households and severe deprivation for children. The task is immense but not insurmountable; it requires the energy of all the players inside and outside Cameroon: women, men, young people and children, the government, technical and financial partners, donors, civil society, the private sector, parliamentarians and communities. Everyone is invited to join in the fight to meet the challenges that lie ahead. Together, we will take action for Cameroon, a country that sums up the challenges and hopes of Africa.
