Cameroon faced multiple conflict-related crises in 2025, compounded by climate shocks, structural challenges, and chronic underfunding. One of the world’s most forgotten crises, an estimated 3.1 million people experienced acute food and nutrition insecurity, including almost 250,000 at IPC Phase 4 (Emergency) and 2.87 million in Phase 3 (Crisis). More than 3.3 million left their homes in search of humanitarian assistance, fueling displacement and refugee influxes.

One of the main challenges was the reduction in humanitarian funding seen worldwide, which had a significant impact on Cameroon through the restructuring or withdrawal of humanitarian actors working in the country. Action Against Hunger continued to implement emergency and resilience projects across much of the country, using an integrated approach combining nutrition, health, mental health, FSL, and WASH.

Action Against Hunger also supported the health system through mobile clinics and the Mental Health Gap Action Programme, and promoted community-based management of childhood illnesses including malnutrition, including acute malnutrition (using ICCM+) alongside obstetric and neonatal care.

In FSL, Action Against Hunger also promoted agroecology, supported cooperatives and the socio-professional integration of young people, and helped municipalities facilitate migration corridors for nomadic herders in Gazawa, Ndoukoula, and Tokombere.

In WASH, Action Against Hunger continued to improve water supply systems in vulnerable communities and health centres, while reinforcing sanitation and medical waste management.
