The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to strengthen food and nutrition security and increase resilience to climate shocks of ta rgeted households and producers.

 






 

The development objective of the Emergency Project to Combat the Food Crisis Project for Cameroon is to strengthen food and nutrition security and increase resilience to climate shocks of targeted households and producers. The project comprises of five components. The first component, support for early response food and nutrition stabilization towards early recovery and resilience building will address immediate food and nutrition insecurity needs in project targeted areas in response to climate stresses and shocks such as droughts, floods, or uncertainty in rainfall patterns that are a primary driver of food insecurity. It consists of following sub-components: (i) provision of emergency food and nutrition assistance; and (ii) labor-intensive public works (LIPW) for resilience. The second component, strengthening productive capacities of smallholders through crop and livestock support for climate and nutritional resilience will focus on improving sustainable, climate smart agriculture (CSA) production including postharvest management, processing, and market access for producers to improve food security. It consists of following sub-components: (i) support for food production for farmers and agri-food processors; and (ii) support to pastoralists and fishermen, and related processing. The third component, support for strengthening government food security crisis monitoring capacity, information systems, and agrometeorological services will strengthen food security early warning and information systems and preparedness such that Cameroon can minimize both humanitarian and climate vulnerability linked costs of future food security crises. It consists of following sub-components: (i) strengthening of government capacity and information on food security, agrometeorological conditions, market prices; and (ii) development of digital tools to support food security response and climate resilience. The fourth component, project management, monitoring and evaluation aim is to support the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) in facilitating efficient implementation of project activities and tracking of results. The fifth component, contingent emergency response component (CERC) is included to allow for quick disbursement of systems, and agrometeorological services uncommitted balances to respond to unanticipated future crisis.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.
