Other — currentrequestedfunds (range 415.0–72120324.0), objective (For more than eight years now, NW and SW regions have been the center of violence that has resulted in the displacement of over 630,000 individuals (UNICEF, July 2024). The conflict has aggravated the humanitarian situation with needs ranging from immediate food assistance, livelihoods enhancement, protection, shelter/NFI, water and sanitation as well as access to health and education. The majority of the displaced persons especially youths tend to engage in negative coping strategies such as survival sex, child marriage, street hawking and petty theft. The prolonged crises has caused adverse impacts that have accumulated by not allowing affected households to rebuild their livelihoods and recover. The accumulated negative impacts of protracted shocks on household livelihoods have long-term effects and reinforce intergenerational transmission of poverty and pushing poor households further into greater vulnerability. As much attention is given to saving lives, equal attention must be given to saving livelihoods in order to achieve household and community resilience. In the two affected regions, damage to livelihoods has resulted not only in already limited income sources becoming further diminished, but also in households losing one or more of their food sources. This project aims to provide integrated food and nutritional assistance to crisis-affected populations (men, women, girls, boys, PLHIV and PWD) in Boyo and Momo divisions of the North West Region of Cameroon as a means to support their self-reliance and recovery needs. The project will implement Emergency General Food Assistance (in kind), strengthen and support livelihoods capacities as well provide Blanket Supplementary Feeding to vulnerable Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and host communities in target area. In this while providing food assistance, COMINSUD plans to enhance capacities for at least 300 households (50% women headed, 4 % persons with a disability, 2%single mothers) in the area of livelihoods enhancement. To achieve this COMINSUD will identify from the targeted food recipient households critical cases that it will train on at least one out of 5 clusters of livelihoods activities (livestock – poultry, piggery, gardening) and provide a seeds, inputs plus technical follow ups to render these supported households self-sufficient by the end of the year. This project alignments with Specific Outcome 1 (SO1) of WFP’s Country Strategic Plan (2022-2026): Crisis-affected populations including refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees and host populations in Cameroon have safe access to adequate and nutritious food during and in the aftermath of crises. The project will contribute to vision 2030 (i.e., the world has eradicated food insecurity and malnutrition) and SDG 2 (i.e., Zero Hunger). Specifically, the project will ensure continued and regular access to adequate and nutritious food through general food assistance (In kind) to 30,000 crisis-affected women, men, girls, and boys in Mezam and Momo divisions (North-West region) by the end of December 2025 as well as enhance livelihoods for 300 households by rehabilitating farmlands for agricultural production, Provide seeds, tools, and training boost livestock production through improved feeding, and restocking within the targeted beneficiaries communities while promoting inclusion of women, men, girls, boys, PWD, PLHIV in all aspects of the project and ensure everyone has equal opportunities, rights, and obligations to benefit. The project will as well enhance improvement in nutrition-related practices through social and behavioral change communication (SBCC) to 80,000 people in the target area. , L'objectif général de ce projet est de contribuer à l'amélioration de la nutrition des femmes enceintes et des enfants de 0 à 2 ans Via la sensibilisation des acteurs locaux et leaders communautaire de Mokolo., Waterborne and hygiene-related diseases pose a severe threat in Bui Division, Cameroon, exacerbated by the Anglophone Crisis. Over 80% of hospital admissions are WASH-related, with inhabitants relying on contaminated water sources. ACOHOF, in collaboration with Rural Doctors and local Health Centers, seeks to address this crisis by improving Health WASH services for over 80,000 people across 22 rural communities. Key Components: Comprehensive Needs Assessment: Conducting a thorough assessments in selected villages to identify unique WASH requirements and challenges, tailoring interventions accordingly. Empowerment and Education: Empowering communities with knowledge on WASH-related diseases, implementing cost-effective water treatment techniques, and initiating school-based WASH programs. Revitalization of Unsafe Water Points: Identifying and renovating unsafe water sources, upgrading infrastructure, and training community members to maintain these points. Establishment of New Water Points: Installing new water sources in designated communities, ensuring safety, quality, and community-led management and maintenance plans. Effective Waste Management: Establishing waste collection and disposal systems, providing training on proper waste management practices, and promoting recycling. Distribution of WASH Kits: Distributing WASH kits containing essential items such as soap, waste collection bins, and solar disinfection stands to improve health and living conditions. Community-Centered Approach: Holistic approach focusing on community education, empowerment, and active involvement in water and sanitation resource management. Targeting enclaves and remote communities that have not received assistance since the crisis began, prioritizing highly populated schools and areas with limited access to clean water. Implementing a criteria-based selection process, considering factors such as the severity of impact, high population density, and areas without previous assistance. Special attention to addressing the water needs of minority groups within selected communities. ACOHOF aims to not only provide access to clean water but also to build resilient communities capable of managing their water and sanitation resources effectively.), partners (INTERSOS, Sustainable Development and Humanitarian Services Foundation, UNICEF), globalclusters (Food Security, Education, Water Sanitation Hygiene), organizations (World Food Programme, United Nations Children's Fund, Action pour le Respect des Droits de l'Homme et la Dignité Humaine) and 1 others.

Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (N/A, null, none, -, unknown, no data, #N/A) were unified to NaN. 2 column(s) were cast from string to numeric or datetime based on parse-success rate (>85% threshold). The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

Limitations

• Data originates from OCHA Humanitarian Programme Cycle Tools (HPC Tools) and has not been independently validated by ESA.
• Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
• The following columns have >20% missing values and should be treated with caution in modelling: partners.
• Refer to the original HDX dataset page for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
