United Nations Country Annual Results Report 2024

In 2024, the United Nations Country Team in Cameroon (UNCT) made significant progress in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aligning efforts with Cameroon’s national priorities under the National Development Strategy (NDS30).

This report highlights key achievements in implementing the 2022–2026 Cooperation Framework, reinforcing our shared commitment with the Government of Cameroon to sustainable and inclusive development, leaving no one behind. It also illustrates how the UN Country Team has convened stakeholders to further strengthen collaboration across sectors for the operationalization of the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus approach, recognizing the strong interdependence between humanitarian, peace and development efforts, in a complex, crisis-affected environment facing the decline of humanitarian aid. These successes were made possible through strong partnerships with the Government, civil society, women, youth, persons with disabilities, and the generous support of donors and cooperating partners.

Collaborating closely with the Government, we achieved notable results in health, agriculture, climate change, gender equality, and youth empowerment. By working as a unified UN family, we leveraged the strengths of each agency, implemented joint programs, and coordinated efforts through Results Groups to drive impactful change.

A key focus in 2024 was mobilizing financing, particularly through the "funding compact" for Cameroon’s SDG agenda by engaging international financial institutions and the private sector. 

The election of His Excellency Philemon Yang as President of the 79th UN General Assembly highlights Cameroon’s leadership in global governance, advancing the Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact, and the Declaration on Future Generations, prioritizing climate, food systems, energy, and inclusive SDG action by empowering youth and women.

Looking ahead to 2025, we are committed to building on our achievements, leveraging the UN’s comparative advantage, and delivering even greater impact in support of Cameroon’s development priorities and the Pact for the Future.

The United Nations remains dedicated to sustainable and inclusive development for the people and Government of Cameroon. Together with our partners, including the government, donors, development actors, civil society, NGOs, and the private sector, we continue to prove that collective action drives meaningful progress.
