CONTEXT
As part of the prevention and management of violence, since March 2023 MdM-CH has been implementing the third phase of a three (3) year project entitled “Strengthening the protection of vulnerable populations in the North-West and West regions of Cameroon”, which aims to contribute to reducing violence and optimizing victims’ access to integrated victim care services in the North-West and West regions of Cameroon, targeting internally displaced populations from the NWSW crisis as well as vulnerable host populations. Like with all MdM-CH’s interventions, this project is part of a dynamic that combines institutional anchoring to facilitate the development of service provision and community anchoring to improve demand, all with the aim of eliminating exclusion and moving towards universal access to care.
BRIEF PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT
To alleviate the difficulties of access to care for victims of violence, the aforementioned project provides free holistic care for victims in hospitals in the North-West (Bamenda and Santa) and West (Bafoussam and Mbouda) regions, with a particular focus on male victims of violence, by supporting the operations of 2 Integrated Support Units (ISU) in the regional hospitals of Bamenda and Bafoussam, and 2 emergency care units in the district hospitals of Mbouda and Santa. The demand for services by victims of violence is guaranteed through the actions of 2 community protection mechanisms: 2 networks of 20 community relay agents (Bamenda and Bafoussam) and 3 multidisciplinary mobile clinic teams of 5 persons each (nurse, lawyer, psychosocial agent, community mobilizer, social worker) operating in communities of the towns of Bamenda, Bafoussam and Santa. These 2 community-based mechanisms, supported by community-based organizations (CBOs), ensure the detection, emergency psychosocial care and referral of victims of violence to specialized care units through awareness-raising campaigns and mobile medical consultations.
Initiated in the previous phase, the project also aims to prevent adolescents who have been convicted of minor acts of violence and/or in conflict with the law from ending up in prison with adults responsible for more reprehensible acts. In line with this objective, the North West Regional Delegation of Social Affairs (NWRDSA) will conduct psychological listening and counselling sessions with these minors, as required by law, and support them in their social reintegration. The project will provide material and technical assistance to the services of the NWRDSA for the realisation of counselling sessions. In line with a collaboration framework between MdM-CH and NWRDSA, MdM-CH is looking to hire the services of a psychologist service provider to strengthen the specialised unit of the NWRDSA tasked with providing counselling and listening sessions to minors perpetrators of violence and/or in conflict with the law.
