2.9 millionpeople need humanitarian assistance29% of children under 5 are stunted (impaired development due to malnutrition)2.2 millionforcibly displaced people

Download country brief














Cameroon is classified as lower-middle-income country and ranks 155th out of 193 countries on the 2025 Human Development Index.A country of 29.4 million people, is the world's most neglected displacement crises. Years of conflict, climate shocks, and economic pressure have left 2.9 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, with over 2.2 million forcibly displaced people on the move as internally displaced persons, refugees, returnees, and asylum seekers.

Insecurity linked to the Lake Chad Basin conflict, the North-West and South-West socio-political crisis, and the influx of refugees from theneighbouring Central African Republic and Nigeria continues to erode livelihoods, weaken food systems, and limit access to basic services, directly affecting Cameroon’s six out of the ten regions.

Food insecurity remains widespread. According to the October 2025 Cadre Harmonisé, the situation is expected to remain severe through the next lean season, with nearly 2.9 million people projected to face crisis and emergency levels of food insecurity, including around 250,000 people in emergency conditions. At the same time, over 6.2 million people are expected to remain under pressure and highly vulnerable to further shocks.

Protection risks are acute. Women and girls face heightened exposure to gender-based violence.  Poverty deepens these risks, with 23 percent of Cameroonians living below the international poverty line.

Without urgent funding, more than half a million of the most vulnerable people risk losing food and nutrition assistance from the beginning of 2026. To sustain life-saving operations and prevent further deterioration in 2026, WFP urgently requires USD 156 million.



















WFP's work in Cameroon to assist vulnerable communities













What the World Food Programme is doing in Cameroon



Emergency response


WFP provides unconditional life-saving food assistance to populations affected by shocks such as violent conflict and the effects of climate change and pandemics, including refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees and vulnerable host communities in Adamawa, East, Far North, North, North West and South West regions. WFP’s support ensures safe access to adequate and nutritious food during and after crises, while supporting recovery from and building resilience to shocks.




Early recovery and resilience


WFP promotes the creation of productive assets and supports the development of income-generating activities using community-led gender-responsive approaches. WFP works to ensure that vulnerable families in protracted displacement and at-risk communities in chronically food-insecure areas have safe year-round access to adequate and nutritious food and increase their resilience to shocks.




Addressing malnutrition


WFP provides nutrition assistance to children aged 6 months to 5 years, pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls, and malnourished people living with HIV. WFP’s goal is to reduce all forms of malnutrition among the target vulnerable populations in prioritized food insecure regions in line with national priorities. WFP’s nutrition improvement activities include malnutrition prevention and treatment, social and behaviour change communication to encourage the adoption of recommended nutritional practices as well as capacity strengthening. These are, implemented in coordination with government, other UN agencies and nutrition partners.




Support to smallholder farmers


WFP provides financial and technical support to food insecure smallholder farmers in the Far North, North, Adamawa and East regions of Cameroon to enhance their productivity and livelihoods. WFP’s focus is on promoting local agricultural value chains among smallholder farmers through building and managing community infrastructure and post-harvest storage facilities, improving agricultural practices, diversifying crop production, and enhancing market access for both men and women.




Capacity strengthening


WFP supports the Government in developing shock-response, gender- and nutrition-sensitive social safety nets and creating national systems for cash transfers as well as for home-grown school meals. Support to the Government includes South-South cooperation initiatives facilitated by WFP’s Centres of Excellence in Brazil and China.




UN Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS)


WFP operates safe, reliable, and cost-effective air services to enable the humanitarian community to reach people in need in hard-to-reach crisis-affected areas. By operating passenger and cargo aircraft, including security and medical evaluations, WFP provides alternative transport where commercial air operators are unavailable due to significant distances and insecurity limiting access to parts of the country. WFP is committed to strengthening air transport service delivery by reopening and launching additional destinations throughout the pandemic and post-pandemic period.
