EFA Cameroon is a Cameroonian national NGO active since 2014 in community development and humanitarian action. Its mandate covers food security, livelihoods, WASH, nutrition, community health, cash transfers and economic empowerment of vulnerable populations.

With funding from the Conrad N.

Phase 2 extends the project to two new localities, Ziling and Mbardam, at the request of their traditional chiefdoms. It provides for the complete creation of community assets, the establishment of a BSL and the first round of AGR funding, based on the proven Phase 1 model. To ensure this presence of proximity, EFA Cameroon recruits two Field Agents, one agent per locality.
