In line with IOM’s Health, Border & Mobility Management Approach, and with an appreciation that in times of crisis migrants and displaced persons constitute
one of the most vulnerable population groups, IOM plans, between May to December 2020, to implement a range of activities to further support the Government
of Cameroon in its response to and recovery from COVID-19. This will be based on 7 of the 12 twelve pillars included in IOM’s global Strategic Preparedness and
Response Plan, namely: Coordination and Partnerships, Tracking Mobility Impacts, Risk Communication and Community engagement, Point of Entry (PoE), Infection Prevention and Control, Camp Coordination and Camp Management, and Protection. Through its existing programming, IOM Cameroon has adapted its activities to
rapidly contribute to the national COVID19 response, and now seeks additional support to leverage its vast operational presence for continued support to COVID19 response in-country. IOM’s wide presence of staff in Cameroon, wide network of local partners, existing migration health service programme, strong infrastructure in mobility tracking, and programmatic flexibility will ensure the Organization is able to rapidly assist those most in need.
