UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

For every child, hope.

Cameroon ranks among the ten most vulnerable countries in the world according to UNICEF’s Children’s Climate Risk Index. This vulnerability stems from the country’s diverse climates and ecosystems, including Sahelian regions severely affected by desertification, coastal areas threatened by coastal erosion and rising sea levels, and Congo Basin areas impacted by deforestation and biodiversity loss. The main climate disasters affecting Cameroon, including slow-onset disasters, consist of droughts, floods, landslides, bushfires, windstorms, and coastal erosion. These disasters have become more frequent and severe in recent years, resulting in significant socio-economic and human losses, which profoundly impact the well-being of children and communities. In alignment with UNICEF’s global initiatives, such as the “Green Skills” programs (Innovation 30, YOMA, etc.) and “Green Rising” which recognize the potential of adolescents to become change-makers rather than passive beneficiaries, it is crucial to emphasize green skills education. This approach prepares children, adolescents, and youth to participate in and contribute to the green economy, thereby mitigating the effects of climate change and promoting sustainable development. In this context, it is essential to conduct a study on green skills and the associated employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for adolescents in Cameroon. This study aims to provide technical support to the Ministries of Youth, Environment, Secondary Education, and Employment and Vocational Training to better understand the needs and opportunities in this area. The objective is to prepare Cameroonian adolescents and youth to play a key role in the ecological transition and the country’s sustainable economic development, while also offering them opportunities to earn a livelihood through the green economy.

How can you make a difference?

The objective of this study is to identify and assess the green skills targeting climate change mitigation and adaptation measures needed for adolescents in Cameroon to prepare them to actively participate in the emerging green economy. The study aims to identify opportunities and fill gaps in green skills education and propose effective strategies to integrate these skills into formal and informal educational programs. It also seeks to determine the best practices for engaging adolescents and creating tangible income opportunities through green skills training.

  • Identify the current opportunities and gaps in the development of green skills among adolescents.
  • Determine the green skills relevant to Cameroon’s green economy, the skills needed in key industries and sectors.
  • Propose strategies to integrate green skills development into formal and informal educational programs, and vocational training.
  • Develop a learning pathway linking green skills to income opportunities and entrepreneurship that impact children and society (schools, health centers, communities, etc.).

Grant Opportunities: USAID offering Funding to prevent Sexual & Gender-based Violence/trafficking in Persons (TIP) in West Africa – fundsforNGOs

Deadline: 30-Sep-2024

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)’s West Africa Regional Peace and Governance Office (RPGO) seeks to award funding to prevent, mitigate, and/or respond to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and/or trafficking in persons (TIP) in West Africa under an Annual Program Statement (APS).

SGBV

Some common forms of SGBV present in West Africa include the following:

  • Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)
  • Forced, Early, and Child Marriage (FECM)
  • Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
  • Conflict-related Sexual Violence (CRSV)
  • Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA)
  • School-related Gender-based Violence (SRGBV)
  • Targeting of Persons with Disabilities
  • Targeting of LGBTQI Individuals
TIP
  • Some common forms of trafficking in persons include the following:
    • Forced Child Begging
    • Other forms of Forced Child Labor
    • Domestic Servitude
    • Sex Trafficking
    • Forced and Child Marriage
Funding Information
  • The APS intends to award up to five (5) awards in either Cooperative Agreement or Grants (including but not limited to Fixed Amount Awards [FAA]). The maximum award amount is not expected to exceed $4,000,000 and to last no longer than 36 months.
Geographic Focus
  • Activities under this APS should be implemented within or across the following six (6) countries:
  • Benin
  • Cameroon
  • CĂ´te d’Ivoire
  • Guinea
  • Niger
  • Togo
Outcomes
  • Program outcomes and guidance governing this program are specified below.
  • The goal of this APS is to better equip local organizations to work together to prevent, mitigate, and/or respond to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and/or trafficking in persons (TIP) in West Africa at the local, national, cross border, and/or regional level. However, this APS is not meant to be prescriptive. Rather, Applicants are encouraged to propose their own solutions – they want you to tell them what works best. Some illustrative outcomes of activities under this APS are listed below, though the list is not definitive:
    • Reduced levels of SGBV and/or TIP.
    • Increased capacity of civil society to address SGBV and/or TIP.
    • Strengthened SGBV and/or TIP international/regional networks (victims’ networks or otherwise).
    • Stakeholders mobilized to affect policy and societal-level change around SGBV and/or TIP.
    • Effected norm and societal change around SGBV and/or TIP.
    • Strengthened TIP and/or SGBV legal frameworks and their implementation within and among West African Countries.
Requirements
  • Applicants must consider the following recommendations and requirements:
    • Because SGBV is not exclusively a female issue, but affects individuals of all gender and sexual identities, activities should engage populations across gender/sexual lines.
    • Activities should take into account the gendered aspects of TIP in West Africa, such as that overall, more boys/men than girls/women are trafficked for labor and more women/girls are trafficked for sexual exploitation.
    • Both SGBV and TIP are highly context specific and change from country to country and community to community. Applicants must use context-sensitive approaches, tailoring them to best address the issues as they exist within particular communities.
    • Activities must take into consideration the layers of potential discrimination, inequalities, and related barriers faced by populations due to their intersecting and overlapping identities, including but not limited to gender, disability, LGBTQI+ status, ethnicity, age, religion, and socio-economic level, among others, and must address their unique needs and interests throughout activity design and implementation. For example, a woman who is physically disabled and LGBTQI+ will need meetings to take place in locations that are easily accessible and safe.
    • Addressing identity-based gaps and barriers requires staff with adequate expertise, not only in SGBV and TIP, but also in gender and inclusion topics more generally. These staff, particularly those whose identities fall into marginalized groups, must be included in leadership structures and decision-making processes within projects.
Eligibility Criteria
  • Eligible Applicant
    • Eligibility for this NOFO is restricted to local organizations in Africa. This APS is issued worldwide as a public notice to ensure that all interested and qualified organizations have a fair opportunity to submit applications for funding.
    • Eligible organizations include:
      • Registered African private non-governmental organizations with experience in West Africa,
      • Registered African non-profit organizations with experience in West Africa, and
      • For-profit African organizations with experience in West Africa willing to forego profit
    • Types of local organizations that are welcome to apply could include foundations, faith-based organizations (FBOs), community-based organizations (CBOs), civil society organizations (CSO), colleges and universities, private organizations, professional associations, networks, and other international organizations.
    • Other U.S. Government departments and agencies may not apply for USAID funding under this APS
      • African Non-Profit Organizations: Qualified African not-for-profit NGOs with experience in West Africa may apply for funding under this APS. Foreign government-owned parastatal organizations from countries that are ineligible for assistance under the FAA or related appropriations acts are ineligible.
      • African For-Profit Organizations: Qualified African private for-profit organizations with experience in West Africa may apply for funding under this APS. Foreign government-owned parastatal organizations from countries that are ineligible for assistance under the FAA or related appropriations acts are ineligible.
      • African Colleges and Universities: Qualified African colleges and universities with experience in West Africa may apply for funding under this APS. U.S. Government and USAID regulations generally treat colleges and universities as NGOs, rather than governmental organizations; hence, both public and private colleges and universities are eligible. Non-U.S. colleges and universities in countries that are ineligible for assistance under the FAA or related appropriations acts are ineligible.
      • African Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs): A local or indigenous private voluntary organization (PVO), which by definition is a non-U.S. PVO operating in the same foreign country in which it is organized, with experience in West Africa may apply for funding under this APS. Local PVOs are not required to register with USAID

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

For every child, hope.

Cameroon ranks among the ten most vulnerable countries in the world according to UNICEF’s Children’s Climate Risk Index. This vulnerability stems from the country’s diverse climates and ecosystems, including Sahelian regions severely affected by desertification, coastal areas threatened by coastal erosion and rising sea levels, and Congo Basin areas impacted by deforestation and biodiversity loss. The main climate disasters affecting Cameroon, including slow-onset disasters, consist of droughts, floods, landslides, bushfires, windstorms, and coastal erosion. These disasters have become more frequent and severe in recent years, resulting in significant socio-economic and human losses, which profoundly impact the well-being of children and communities. In alignment with UNICEF’s global initiatives, such as the “Green Skills” programs (Innovation 30, YOMA, etc.) and “Green Rising” which recognize the potential of adolescents to become change-makers rather than passive beneficiaries, it is crucial to emphasize green skills education. This approach prepares children, adolescents, and youth to participate in and contribute to the green economy, thereby mitigating the effects of climate change and promoting sustainable development. In this context, it is essential to conduct a study on green skills and the associated employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for adolescents in Cameroon. This study aims to provide technical support to the Ministries of Youth, Environment, Secondary Education, and Employment and Vocational Training to better understand the needs and opportunities in this area. The objective is to prepare Cameroonian adolescents and youth to play a key role in the ecological transition and the country’s sustainable economic development, while also offering them opportunities to earn a livelihood through the green economy.

How can you make a difference?

The objective of this study is to identify and assess the green skills targeting climate change mitigation and adaptation measures needed for adolescents in Cameroon to prepare them to actively participate in the emerging green economy. The study aims to identify opportunities and fill gaps in green skills education and propose effective strategies to integrate these skills into formal and informal educational programs. It also seeks to determine the best practices for engaging adolescents and creating tangible income opportunities through green skills training.

  • Identify the current opportunities and gaps in the development of green skills among adolescents.
  • Determine the green skills relevant to Cameroon’s green economy, the skills needed in key industries and sectors.
  • Propose strategies to integrate green skills development into formal and informal educational programs, and vocational training.
  • Develop a learning pathway linking green skills to income opportunities and entrepreneurship that impact children and society (schools, health centers, communities, etc.).

For every child, Protection.

UNICEF has been working in Cameroon since 1975 to allow women and children to fully realize their rights to development without restriction, as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. UNICEF provides financial and technical support to Cameroon across seven areas to fully realize the rights of women and children. These areas include Health, HIV/AIDS, Water-sanitation-Hygiene, nutrition, education, child protection, and social inclusion. UNICEF focuses mainly on children and the most vulnerable and excluded families. Cameroon’s 2020 population is estimated at 26,545,863 people according to UN data. The population is young and generates strong socioeconomic demand. In rural areas, limited access to basic social services and the effects of climate change led to household impoverishment and severe child deprivations. The task is immense but not insurmountable; it requires the energy of all stakeholders in Cameroon and outside of Cameroon: also, women, men, youth and children, government, technical and financial partners, donors, civil society, the private sector, parliamentarians, and communities. Everyone is invited to take part in the struggle to meet the challenges that lie ahead. Together, we will act for Cameroon, a country that summarizes the challenges and hopes of Africa.

All UNICEF positions are advertised, and only shortlisted candidates will be contacted and advance to the next stage of the selection process. An internal candidate performing at the level of the post in the relevant functional area, or an internal/external candidate in the corresponding Talent Group, may be selected, if suitable for the post, without assessment of other candidates.
