Insightful 2 hour meeting, after the previous one we had last January 2024. Thank you for your recommendations his Excellency and see you soon as we engage in sustaining programs to ease the socio-economic resilience of these "real" IDPs in towns. @ChrisFomunyoh @kah

Thanks 2 Groupe CIBLE Cameroon for an additional financial support, LODGE AN IDP Association has acquired 1 hectare of farmland. Added to the 2 hectares gotten already for 125 "real" needy IDPs & some host population at YATO. Gratitude @Jmchataigner @diop_abdel @africatechie

2 trenches have being dugged at IDP farms at YATO, so floods do not destroy the crops of some "real" needy IDPs and some host population. GRACE AND GRATITUDE

They came to evaluate cases of #GBV (Gender based violence) being faced by the "real" needy IDPs in Bonaberi(Douala 4), and what concrete actions being carried out by the Association to ease their socio-economic resilience within their host communities. @Jmchataigner @yiefon

Last Monday & Tuesday on behalf of LODGE AN IDP Association , I received a group of researchers from the #littoral Regional Ethical Committee on Human Health. @Jmchataigner @yiefon

Facts and figures of LODGE AN IDPs door-to-door purposive scientific studies of; Foumbot, Tayandi, Bafoussam & Bonaberi are available for exploitation. @unicefcameroon @diop_abdel @issa

Thank you for the statistics Sir. Unfortunately the situation keeps worsening in towns. They are frequently being driven out of class, others are dropouts and engaged in dubious activities. Together we can change the narrative. @africatechie @ChrisFomunyoh @atem

@GianlucFerrera @diop_abdel @IssaSanogoUN @Raytavar @WFP_Cameroon @ICCT_TheHague @ifrc So far 4 studies have being conducted, those of; Bonaberi, Bafoussam, Foumbot & Tayandi. We are inviting you all to join us in the execution of priority projects which can ease their socio-economic resilience within their host communities. @Jmchataigner @diop

That's why LODGE AN IDP Association 's main activity is to identify the "real" needy IDPs, based on some well tailored indicators of vulnerability, their needs, taking into consideration their talents and capabilities. @GianlucFerrera @diop_abdel @IssaSanogoUN @Raytavar

Not all Internally displaced persons are vulnerable. In towns it is difficult to distinguish between the vulnerable from the non-vulnerable IDPs. @IssaSanogoUN @AdeshTripathee @diop_abdel

@sammynjie @yiefon @MattWoods_UK @MalombaEsembeMP @ChrisFomunyoh @Vivalex8 @DineshDSouza LODGE AN IDP Association is in urgent need of; seedlings, cutlasses, hoes, jackets, boots and irrigation equipment. Thank you in advance for your unconditional support. GRACE AND GRATITUDE

This livelihood initiative is to permit some 180 "real" needy internally displaced persons in Bonaberi and its environs to directly carryout farming activities for cash and subsistence. @sammynjie @yiefon @MattWoods_UK @MalombaEsembeMP

Last Saturday February 08, 2024 at YATO, it was with great joy to see the transformation done by some "real" needy IDPs on portions of farmlands donated to them. Most of them have started planting their vegetables, while others are still tilling and clearing. @Jmchataigner

The "real" needy IDPs in towns are abandoned to themselves & living in precarious conditions, within their host communities. They need our suitable sustainable support for their socio-economic resilience. @MalombaEsembeMP @gomezoba1 @MattWoods_UK

Last Friday January 31, 2025 while in Yaounde, I was honored to be invited for lunch by Mrs ET Eposi (A Cameroonian Diplomate in charge of liaisx between the Cameroon Government & #UN Agencies). Thank you for your generous advice Madam & wish you all the best. @StbonamyICRC

We are in urgent need of; irrigation equipment, seedlings, jackets, boots, cutlasses and hoes so 180 "real" needy IDPs at Bonaberi can successfully carryout farming activities for their autonomy. Thank you in advance for your unconditional support. @StbonamyICRC @diop_abdel

Some 15 out of 20 "real" needy IDPs who received their own portions of farmland at YATO, have started tillx and are ready to start plantx by next week. Others are still clearx while preparx for plantx. Our objective is to ease their socio-economic resilience. @StbonamyICRC

Sure. In towns it is difficult to distinguish a needy from a non-needy IDP. That is our Association based on some well tailored indicators of vulnerability, identify the "real" ones, their needs and desires so they can easily be accompanied to autonomy. Thank you for the remark.

In the more than 2 hectares of fertile farmland donated to LODGE AN IDP Association by one of our potential board of trustees members at YATO. Other difficulties are lack of farming tools, lack of irrigation equipment, lack of boots and jackets. @MattWoods_UK @StbonamyICRC

Thanks to the CEO of Groupe CIBLE through her #CSR policy for the 750.000 frs CFA package. This cash donation is to support the transportation fares of some 80 "real" needy IDPs in Bonaberi & it's environs to successfully carryout farming activities at YATO. @MattWoods_UK
