FOREWORD
As post-COVID-19 consequences continue to pose adverse conditions among populations worldwide, problems of mental health, gender inequality, gender-based violence (GBV), and human rights issues continue to plague societies and communities in different ways. Besides, amidst these problems in Cameroon, in particular, is the ongoing conflict in the Northwest and Southwest regions that has left many persons in vulnerable situations with significant impacts on their psychological well-being.
In 2023, acknowledging the existence of the above problems and the adverse conditions affecting the well-being of vulnerable persons during the COVID-19 pandemic period, the Hadassah Foundation continued its work to enhance the well-being of vulnerable groups in underserved communities in the southwest region of Cameroon.
Our work in 2023 focused on critical areas that addressed issues relating to challenging situations adversely affecting the well-being of IDPs, Youths, Children, Women, etc. This was done through psychosocial support and counseling, mental health support/education/advocacy, social and emotional learning education in schools, education on youth sexual and reproductive health, and human rights promotion as we work to fight gender-based violence, to empower women, and offer humanitarian assistance as the need arises.
This year, many of our staff were trained in different expert fields of GBV, MHPSS, etc., enabling us to work with clients better and deliver better services. Thanks to our partners, GBV AoR cluster SWNW UNFPA, Cameroon, for the many capacity-building training opportunities.
