CONTEXT AND JUSTIFICATION
The CDD/Caritas is a development organization created by the diocese of Maroua-Mokolo
in the Far North Region. It was born in May 1982, from the diocesan will to provide
local populations, plagued by many difficulties, with a development service for the whole man
and for all men. It has been officially declared as an association since June 8, 2006 under number
079/RDA/K22/BAPP.
However, for more than 10 years, the entire Far North Region has been plunged into
insecurity. Many Cameroonians are forced to flee their villages to settle
further inland, following multiple attacks by the Islamist group Boko Haram. This situation
created in the Far North region, a humanitarian crisis that requires an appropriate response
to improve the living conditions of the populations.
In this context, Caritas, the humanitarian branch of the CDD, is implementing a transitional aid project
in the departments of Mayo-Tsanaga, Mayo-Sava. The objective of the project is to improve the
socio-economic conditions of internally displaced, returnee and refugee populations.
