Cameroon does not have a coordinated system of safety nets; rather, small, isolated interventions which together do not address the needs. Moreover, food and fuel price subsidies which mainly benefit the rich cost around 2 percent of GDP/year much more than total safety net spending. There is a need for a social protection strategy and an effective safety net system to address chronic poverty and food insecurity in Cameroon. This strategy should identify risks and vulnerabilities so they can be addressed by appropriate programs. Investments in human capital and in geographic areas most affected by poverty the North and Far North should be priority.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSOLUTE TERMSACCESS TO SERVICESACUTE MALNUTRITIONADMINISTRATIVE COSTSAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYARABLE LANDBASIC FOOD COMMODITIESBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY-BUILDINGCAPACITY-BUILDING SUPPORTCASH TRANSFERCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMSCASH TRANSFERSCASH-FOR-WORKCHILD BENEFITCHILD MORTALITYCHILD MORTALITY RATESCHRONIC FOOD INSECURITYCHRONIC MALNUTRITIONCHRONIC POVERTYCHRONICALLY POORCONDITIONAL TRANSFERSCONSUMER PRICESCONSUMPTION BASKETCOST-EFFECTIVENESSCOVARIATE SHOCKSCURRENT POVERTYDIRECT TRANSFERSDRINKING WATERDROUGHTECONOMIC GROWTHEGSEMERGENCY RESPONSEEMPLOYMENT GUARANTEEEMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE SCHEMEEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMEXTERNAL FINANCINGEXTREME POVERTYFAMILY ALLOWANCESFAMINEFEE WAIVERSFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFINANCIAL CRISESFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOOD COMMODITIESFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD INSECURITYFOOD ITEMSFOOD NEEDSFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICE SUBSIDIESFOOD PRICESFOOD SECURITYFOOD STAMPSFOOD SUPPLYFOOD TRANSFERSFOOD-FOR-WORKHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH INSURANCEHOME RATIONSHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEADSHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD VULNERABILITYHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL FORMATIONHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEXIMPACT OF SHOCKSINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME GROWTHINCOME REDISTRIBUTIONINCOME SUPPORTINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINDIVIDUAL RISKSINEQUALITYINFLATION RATEINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSURANCE SCHEMESINTERNATIONAL AIDJOB TRAININGLABOR LAWSLABOR MARKET POLICIESLABOR MARKET PROGRAMSLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVE BIRTHSMACROECONOMIC CRISISMACROECONOMIC RISKMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMALNUTRITIONMATERNAL HEALTHMUTUAL INSURANCENUMBER OF CHILDRENNUTRITION PROGRAMSNUTRITIONAL PROGRAMSPENSIONPENSIONSPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL FEASIBILITYPOORPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR INDIVIDUALSPOOR INFRASTRUCTUREPOOR PEOPLEPOOR PERSONPOVERTY DYNAMICSPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY POVERTYPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION PROGRAMSPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPRICE SUBSIDIESPRICE SUBSIDYPROTECTION POLICIESPROTECTION POLICYPROTECTION SYSTEMPROTECTION SYSTEMSPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPENDINGPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSREGIONAL AVERAGEREGIONAL CONVERGENCEREGIONAL DISTRIBUTIONRURALRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL INHABITANTSRURAL PHENOMENONRURAL REGIONSSAFETY NET MEASURESSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NET SYSTEMSAFETY NET SYSTEMSSANITATIONSCHOOL COMPLETIONSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMSSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL SUPPLIESSHOCKSINGLE PARENTSSKILLS TRAININGSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INSTABILITYSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL INSURANCE PROGRAMSSOCIAL PENSIONSSOCIAL POLICIESSOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROJECTSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL RISKSSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SERVICESOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL TRANSFERSOCIAL TRANSFERSSSNSUBSIDIZINGSUBSISTENCESUPPLEMENTARY FEEDINGSUPPLEMENTARY FEEDING PROGRAMSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTARGETINGTARGETING MECHANISMSTRANSFER PROGRAMTRANSFER PROGRAMSTRANSFERS IN CASHTRANSITORY POVERTYUNEMPLOYMENTUNIVERSAL SUBSIDIESVILLAGE COMMUNITIESVOCATIONAL TRAININGVOUCHERSVULNERABLE CHILDRENVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSVULNERABLE INDIVIDUALSVULNERABLE PEOPLEVULNERABLE POPULATIONSWORK PROGRAMSWORKS PROGRAM10.1596/19003
