A funding agreement was signed between the Foundation for Environment and Development in Cameroon and the GEF Small Grant program for the implementation of the project entitled “Strengthening the resilience of Bakola/Bagyeli territories and indigenous communities to the effects of COVID-19” . The funding agreement, amounting to US$33,879, will help strengthen access to information on COVID-19 for men and women in Bakola/Bagyeli communities through culturally appropriate means. Community radio stations in the area will be used to produce and regularly broadcast awareness programs against this pandemic. The project will also disseminate information on COVID-19 through posters, leaflets and image boxes. In addition to awareness-raising, the funding provided will help promote socio-ecological resilience and strengthen food security and the cultural identity of communities. Emphasis will be placed on training communities in the implementation of environmentally friendly agroforestry systems. Another aspect of the intervention will be to provide information on the state of biodiversity in the implementation area.
This project will contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals relating to the eradication of poverty, the elimination of hunger, the promotion of well-being for all and access to water and sanitation.
