Women and Youth Empowerment
The year 2017 marked a critical turning point for H4BF as the socio-political crisis in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon escalated, resulting in widespread displacement and humanitarian need. In response, H4BF adapted its strategic approach to address the emerging humanitarian crisis. The organization expanded its programming to include emergency relief, protection, and livelihood restoration for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other vulnerable populations.
H4BF’s capacity to respond effectively to the crisis was strengthened through strategic partnerships with key United Nations agencies and international NGOs. The organization became an active member of several critical humanitarian coordination mechanisms, including:
These collaborations enabled H4BF to launch specialized programs in child protection, GBV prevention and response, food security, and livelihood support. Through these partnerships, H4BF aligned its humanitarian interventions with internationally recognized standards, ensuring that its programs were both effective and sustainable.
