Context and rationale
The Far North has been plagued by increased insecurity since 2014 with attacks by
non-state armed groups, mainly the Boko Haram sect, making communities vulnerable and
access to basic social services difficult. In the Far North in general, the role played by
civil society organizations (CSOs) is no longer in doubt in vulnerable communities. They are able to overcome
ethnic, linguistic and religious barriers to carry out actions. However, given the very broad and relatively accessible geographical coverage
of the Far North Region, they have difficulty accessing funding
. To help address these shortcomings, the Community Resilience Support Program in
Cameroon (PARC-Cameroon), implemented by Family Health International (FHI 360) with funding from the
United States Agency for International Development (USAID), will work with CSOs called
strategic partners (intermediate support organizations-ISO and community capacity for resilience-CC4R) by
strengthening their institutional capacities so that they can better serve their communities and advance
sustainable development goals. To achieve the program objective, activities will be implemented in
the target localities of phase II of the program.
The Association Femme et Développement (AFD) was selected as a CC4R partner for this phase
II to implement activities in the localities of Maga and Guirvidig, Mayo Danay department for a
period of one year. This will involve assessing needs at the grassroots level and proposing community solutions, as well as trainingmembers of this community to address community resilience issues. AFD isa non-profit organization. It aims to create a world where women and girls live without violence, where theyhave equal opportunities to flourish and where the environment is protected for future generations.Thus, AFD is launching a call for projects for the recruitment of thirty (30) young cartographers in the localitiesof Maga and Guirvidig.
