Background
Cameroon is compounded by three conflict-related humanitarian crises in addition to the secondary impacts of pandemics and outbreaks such as cholera that have further exacerbated the needs in-country. Incursions by Non-State Armed Groups in the Lack Chad Basin have resulted in 136,210 Nigerians seeking refuge in Cameroon, 385,372 Cameroonian IDPs, and 138,152 returnees in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Cameroon’s East region is still home to over 315,747 refugees from the Central African Republic and the North-West South-West region is witnessing the ongoing violence that has led to the displacement of 714,159 English-speaking Cameroonians.
NRC has been operating in Cameroon since April 2017 and currently has five field offices: Maroua and Kousseri in the Far North, Buea in the South-West, Bamenda in the North-West and Batouri in the East. To provide assistance to people affected by these 3 crises, NRC is implementing 11 projects covering the three crises.
NRC implements programs in WASH, shelter, ICLA, LFS, and Education, and aims at improving the evidence-based decision-making, learning opportunities and programme design. A confirmed Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning manager is needed to lead this work.
