AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoCholera Update (Far North): Cameroon’s health authorities report 19 cholera deaths and 585 cases since end-June, with outbreaks confirmed in 7 of 37 districts in the Far North; officials urge scaled-up response and stronger community hygiene, including cleaning surroundings, removing stagnant water, and practicing good sanitation. HIV Funding Pressure: UNAIDS warns global HIV funding fell 18% in 2025 to $7.3bn, the lowest in nearly two decades, raising fears of a resurgence and putting the 2030 AIDS goal further out of reach. HIV Response Funding (KFF-UNAIDS): A separate KFF-UNAIDS report says donor support for HIV treatment and prevention in low- and middle-income countries dropped 25% from 2024 to 2025, with the U.S. driving much of the decline. WASH Crisis (Northwest & Southwest): UNICEF says 2.9 million people in Cameroon’s Northwest and Southwest still need safe water, sanitation and hygiene services, including about 1.5 million children, citing insecurity, displacement, damaged infrastructure, outbreaks, and weak public facilities. Climate & Health Risk (Maroua Floods): Greenpeace Africa links Maroua’s recent floods to wider climate-driven disasters, warning that forest loss and poor waste management are worsening flood frequency and severity. Immunisation Gap (Sokoto, Regional Lesson for Cameroon): An NGO-backed programme targets vaccine rejection and “zero-dose” children, aiming to cut them by 80% through community engagement—an approach relevant to immunisation challenges across the region.
