Launch of the evaluation process of the Mbam Djerem National Park activities
FEDEC received a grant from BIOPAMA for the implementation of the project “Support for the integration of the Integrated Management Effectiveness Tool (IMET) in the management of the Mbam and Djerem National Park (MDNP)”. The main objective of this project, which will run from 1 September 2021 to 31 January 2022, is to provide support for the evaluation of the MDNP’s activities during the period from 2016 to 2020. This evaluation will allow the identification of priorities for results-based actions and an analysis of the environmental and social risks in the area. At the end of the project, an evaluation report on the management of the MDNP and a precise and realistic priority action plan will be published and will serve as a guide for better management of the park. It should be noted that the purpose of the BIOPAMA Small Technical Grants for Evaluation (STGE) is to identify and update priorities for action for improved management and governance of protected and conserved areas.
Free treatment campaign for patients organized by FEDEC in partnership with the organization ASCOVIME
Improving the access of indigenous populations to health care is the main objective of the health component of the Plan for Vulnerable Indigenous Peoples (PPAV). To achieve this objective, FEDEC collaborates with health institutions and organizes advanced strategy missions in the project areas. It is in this context that the Foundation, in partnership with the association ASCOVIME, organized a free treatment campaign for patients in Bipindi.
The campaign was held on July 22, 2021 at the Bipindi District Medical Center with the main objective of providing free health treatment to the populations around the Bipindi area.
During this campaign, nearly 600 people received treatment, i.e. 120 Bakola / Bagyeli and nearly 480 Bantus. 15 pregnant women received kits (baby clothes, body cleansing milk, soap, shampoo, shower gel, etc). A total of 25 people underwent surgery for hernias, cysts and a tumor in their leg. 220 people suffering from eye problems were treated, of which around 100 benefited from medical glasses. 268 other people suffering from various diseases such as toothaches, malaria, headaches, stomach pain, body pain, back pain, diarrhea, skin problems etc. were all treated.
