Project brief:
The “Résilience des Femmes et des Jeunes dans le Septentrion” project, led by CARE and its partners, aims to strengthen the adaptive capacity of vulnerable populations, especially women and youth, in northern Cameroon. The project focuses on building local resilience to climate change and food insecurity by enhancing community-based adaptation strategies. CARE works with local civil society organisations and municipal partners to implement climate-smart practices, capacity building, and inclusive decision-making. The project includes the creation of 280 Village Savings and Loan Associations to improve food security, and offers educational and vocational opportunities to youth and women.
