remain low (21.2%). The main difficulties faced include the poor appropriation by the community of the actions undertaken to promote exclusive breastfeeding, poor breastfeeding knowledge and limited access to the national code on the marketing of breast-milk substitutes (probably due to the fact that it has not been translated into the appropriate languages). Recommended measures include translating the National Code on the Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes into the appropriate local languages and intensifying communication on exclusive breastfeeding.  Adolescent Health Several strategies are being used across the national territory to improve adolescent health based on the general development policy guidelines. Such is the case with the drawing up of the National Strategic Plan on the Health of Adolescents and Youths which outlines the major strategic aspects, objectives as well as priority actions to be carried out in order to guarantee the wellbeing of adolescents and youths, and equip them with the necessary skills to face adulthood. In the areas of family planning, measures concern: - - intensifying the national family planning policy by organizing campaigns to disseminate family planning methods and to raise awareness on the dangers of early pregnancies, through educative talks reducing contraceptive prices; organizing free distribution campaigns for contraceptives; training healthcare workers in Adolescent Reproductive Health and in Family Planning. Concerning the reproductive health of adolescents, it is worth noting: - the implementation of youth and adolescent-friendly social and health services (two experimental centres already went operational in Yaounde and Douala); - the implementation of projects in several domains relating to this issue through the involvement of traditional and religious rulers: - training peer educators and volunteers for community-based services; - raising awareness among children both within and outside schools; - awareness-raising actions against early marriages and pregnancies targeting the above-mentioned groups; - signing of a partnership agreement in 2013 between MINESEC and the Cameroon League for Development (CAM LEAD-NGO), in view of eradicating early marriages and pregnancies within schools. Concerning family life education, actions involved pursuing the implementation, in all training and teaching programmes at the primary, secondary and university levels, of curricula on family life education, specifically as concerns the population and HIV/AIDS. The ongoing experimentation of the school book entitled “Vivre ensemble” (Living Together), intended for Class One pupils through Upper Sixth students, which includes an aspect on IEC/CBC/ARH; the implementation of the premarital, matrimonial and family education programme; collaboration with the Civil Society (Cameroon Paediatric Society) 26
