representatives from the Adamawa, East, North and Far North Regions, public administrations (MINEPAT, MINATD, MINAS, MINPROFF, MINJUSTICE), NGOs and Civil Society Organisations (IMC, ALDEPA, ASSEJA) regarding the protection of children in emergency humanitarian situations. Following this training, these stakeholders developed a plan of action targeting children associated with, or recruited into armed forces/groups, notably comprising of: - identifying and registering children who quit armed forces/groups; organizing their temporal reception; holding interviews with these children; referring them to emergency centres; searching for their families; psycho-social and healthcare or otherwise. This plan of intervention will enable a better coordination of actions carried out in this domain by the various stakeholders concerned. This will eventually lead to responses that are more appropriate, coherent and efficient, within the context of humanitarian emergency. c) Refugee and Displaced Children (Art. 23) Since 2009, due to the fight against the Islamic sect Boko Haram in Nigeria, Cameroon has recorded, particularly in the Far North and Adamawa Regions, a growing number of Nigerian refugees, mostly made up of women and children. Also, the situation of political instability currently prevailing in the Central African Republic has led to the displacement of persons towards Cameroon. About 90 000 Central African refugees were received in 2014. The continuous flow of Central African refugees in the East of Cameroon has called for the mobilisation of all development partners to address the humanitarian emergency. Since January 2014, 122 915 new refugees were received, taking the total number up to 220 949, including 170 394 children (67% of the refugee population). 64 015 refugees live in developed sites and 156 834 live out of them, making it difficult to monitor the latter group. Regarding asylum-seeking children and refugee children, Cameroon took necessary measures to protect these categories of children, in accordance with the ACRWC. At the legal level, mention could be made of the following instruments: - - Decree No. 2011/389 of 28 November 2011 on the organization and functioning of refugee management bodies (Refugee Status Eligibility Commission and the Refugee Appeals Commission); Orders No. 0013/DIPL/CAB and No. 0014/DIPL/CAB of 6 August 2012 on the composition and appointment of the members of these Commissions; Order No. 269 of 13 March 2014 to set up an Ad Hoc Inter-Ministerial Committee in charge of managing emergency situations involving refugees in Cameroon. Other actions were equally carried out, including: - the development of a strategic plan for humanitarian response in Cameroon, launched by the United Nations System in Cameroon, aiming at mobilizing 48.5 million dollars between 2014 and 2016; 33
