Financial Resources Allocated to the Management of IDPs
956- Funds allocated to the management of displaced persons come from national resources
consisting of allocations in the State budget, funds generated from national solidarity as well
as resources provided by the State’s partners.
957- Thus, as part of the endeavour to manage needs generated by the large inflow of refugees
and IDPs444 following repeated attacks by the Boko Haram terrorist group in the Far North
Region of Cameroon, an Emergency plan and a Territorial Development Programme for the
Norther Regions was established in June 2014 with a budget of CFAF 160,000,000,000445.
This Plan takes into account the precarious condition in the said Regions, which are also
exposed to other health (endemic), human, social or natural risks, such as floods like the ones
experienced in 2012 in the Far North Region, involving the displacement of people.
958- National solidarity efforts helped raise the sum of CFAF 2,350, 000,000,000446 secured
in an account in the Public Treasury following the instructions of the Head of State on 6 April
2015.
959- Partners, particularly the United Nations system agencies, had as from 2015, developed
Humanitarian Response Plans necessitating funding to the tune of $259 million in 2015, $282
million in 2016 and $305 million for the 2017-2020 Plan.
960- As concerns the crisis in the North West and South West Regions, where violence
between police forces and members of secessionist groups has caused mass exodus of people
from these Regions to other parts of the country and even to Nigeria, an Emergency
Humanitarian Assistance Plan for the civilian population of these regions was launched on 20
June 2018. Estimated at nearly CFAF 12,716,500,000447, the Plan includes the basic and
recovery needs of some 75,000 displaced people in these localities. The Nation's driving
forces both within the country and the diaspora contributed in financing the Plan.
961- This Report describes the laws and other measures taken to give effect to the rights and
freedoms recognized and guaranteed in the Kampala Convention in order not only to prevent
internal displacement, but also to protect the civil and political rights, as well as the economic,
social and cultural rights of IDPs. It covers the period from 2013-2018.
962- Drafted following an inclusive approach, the Report is the result of contributions made
by public institutions, civil society stakeholders and partners, as indicated above (see General
Introduction, § 2 et al.).
963- Information on the implementation of the Convention is provided in the sections relating
to the prevention of internal displacement (Chapter 1), protection of IDPs (Chapter 2) and
assistance to IDPs and sustainable solutions (Chapter 3).
CHAPTER 1: PREVENTION OF INTERNAL DISPLACEMENT
964- Among major risks identified in the NCP are both natural and anthropogenic risks that
can lead to the displacement of people. The measures recommended can therefore contribute
to the prevention of internal displacement in general even if more specific actions are
envisaged for particular situations.
