Cameroon

One of the most geographically and culturally diverse countries in Africa, Cameroon is also in a difficult neighborhood, bordering both Chad and Central African Republic. At various times, refugees from those countries have streamed across Cameroon's borders in search of safety. IRD's programs in Cameroon work with both these refugees and with native Cameroonians, helping them develop more economic opportunities and provide food for their families.
