Nexus Funding Facility supports disability-inclusive HDP Nexus action in Cameroon

CBM leads disability inclusion, accountability, and systems strengthening in a USD 2.9 million Humanitarian–Development–Peace (HDP) Nexus consortium.

The Nexus Funding Facility, a multi-donor financing mechanism administered by UNDP, is funding a USD 2.9 million project to strengthen stability, resilience, and social cohesion in Cameroon’s Far North Region. The Joint Action for Stabilisation, Inclusion, and Resilience in Chad-Cameroon Border Communities of the Far North Cameroon, known as JASIR, will run from September 2026 to August 2028 and apply the Humanitarian–Development–Peace Nexus (HDP) approach to link urgent services, longer-term systems strengthening, and peacebuilding in a coordinated response. 

 

The HDP Nexus links humanitarian response, development cooperation, and peacebuilding. It helps partners address immediate needs while reducing long-term vulnerability and tackling the drivers of crisis, conflict, and exclusion. 

 

The project will be implemented inLogone-et-Chari, Mayo-Tsanaga, Mayo Sava, and Mayo Danay in the Far North of Cameroon, where conflict, displacement, climate shocks, and poverty continue to limit access to food, health care, safe water, livelihoods, and local decision-making. Women, youth, displaced people, returnees, host communities, and persons with disabilities face some of the highest barriers to services, protection, income, and participation.  

JASIR brings humanitarian action, development, and peacebuilding into one coordinated response. Its goal is to strengthen inclusive services, livelihoods, and local governance while helping communities manage current pressures and prepare for future shocks. Accordingly, it will support livelihood activities, nutrition and health services, solar-powered water infrastructure, disaster risk reduction, anticipatory action, peacebuilding, and governance strengthening. 

 

CBM leads in disability inclusion, accountability, and systems strengthening. The Alliance for International Medical Action, ALIMA, provides technical leadership in emergency health and nutrition. Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services, CBCHS, brings local reach, trusted community relationships, and experience in service delivery. 

The project embeds disability inclusion, gender equity, and participation from the start. Intersectionality and conflict sensitivity will shape how services are planned, delivered, monitored, and handed over. 

By 2028, more than 13,000 people are expected to have improved access to inclusive health, nutrition, WASH, and livelihood services. Planned results include health services for 2,500 people, safe water access for 1,500 people, livelihood support for 400 people, and more than 20 social cohesion initiatives.  

For JASIR, the NFF provides flexible, multi-year support that helps partners work together around shared priorities and collective outcomes for people affected by crisis.
