- Law No. 2011/024 of 14 December 2011 r on the fight against trafficking and trading in persons, abrogating Law No. 2005/015 of 29 December 2005, which broadens the scope of the fight against trafficking in all categories of victims; - Decree No. 268/2012 of 11 June 2012 to organise the Ministry of Basic Education (MINEDUB) which has a provision on the supervision and follow-up of activities of Governments and Children’s Parliament; - Decree No. 2013/031 of 13 February 2013 on the organisation and functioning of the National Civil Status Bureau (BUNEC); - Order No. 012/CAB/PM of 31 January 2013 on the set-up, organisation and functioning of the Committee for the coordination and follow-up of strategies to fight against trafficking in human organs and ritual crimes; - Order No. 087/PM of 27 August 2014 to set up the Inter-sector Committee for the fight against child labour. Generally, it should be noted that Cameroon has taken some significant actions in support of child protection. These include mainly the expansion of the chain of Government stakeholders in this area. However, implementing recommendations in the field of legislation in favour of the child still faces the following challenges: - lukewarm application of many laws governing children’s rights in Cameroon; - lack of understanding on the need for a specific legal instrument for the child and/or family. The ongoing drafting of training modules in Police, Gendarmerie and Magistracy schools, as well as the training sessions usually organized for the judiciary staff members on the Rights of the Child, will all help to facilitate better application of instruments on child protection. b) Institutional Framework The Ministries of: Basic Education, Secondary Education, Employment and Vocational Training, Public Health, Justice, Youth and Civic Education, Sports and Physical Education, Labour and Social Security, Social Affairs and Women Empowerment and the Family are the main government structures that handle children's issues. They work closely with the National Commission on Human Rights and Freedoms (NCHRF), CSOs that deal with children’s issues, United Nations System and other Technical and Financial Partners. In order to effectively coordinate the different actions in support of children, an interministerial committee was thus formed, in 2011, to follow up the implementation of the recommendations/decisions of treaties monitoring bodies and this Committee is housed in the Prime Minister's Office. In addition, the Cameroonian Government promulgated some instruments on decentralization, among others, which grant local authorities powers, human and financial resources to protect and support vulnerable children. 9
