UNFPA Cameroon Situation Report: Politics, Conflict, Climate Disaster, and Displacement (1 - 31 January 2026)

Download Report (PDF | 1.76 MB) As of January 2026, the humanitarian situation in Cameroon’s Far North, North-West, and South-West regions remains dire. The targeted destruction and looting of the Darak Medical Health Centre on 20 January by non-state armed groups (NSAGs) has paralysed local healthcare, disrupting essential sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence (GBV) and creating a protection crisis for women and girls. In the North-West region, following the restoration of power on 23 January, a month-long blackout caused by burnt electric poles in Sabga finally ended, allowing the local health facility to resume critical maternal and neonatal care. In January 2026, UNFPA provided 7,400 SRH consultations through 24 health facilities, including immediate HIV-positive enrollment for prevention of mother-to-child transmission. Gender-based violence efforts reached 4,699 people through awareness sessions, provided psychosocial support to 560 women and girls in safe spaces, and strengthened local response by training GBV Case Managers and updating referral pathways. For 2026, UNFPA requires US $4,013,060 to implement critical reproductive health and protection services in Cameroon. As of January, UNFPA has secured US $1,828,933.
