Cameroon
Tags: Cameroon, Africa, country background, Crisis in the Sahel, Sahel, drought, livestock, pastoralists, water scarcity, seeds,
Cameroon’s northern regions have experienced three years of either droughts or floods. These recurrent disasters have caused high levels of crop failure, leaving the population with small or non-existent stocks, and resulting in high rates of chronic malnutrition. The 2012 Sahel drought has particularly affected the northern regions of the country, leaving the population without any resources to produce food in the short term, or to cope with any economic or environmental crises in the future.
