Office and Field-based staff of COMINSUD’s World Food Program (WFP) project have been refreshed on the good practices that would enable them to properly implement the terms of a Field Level Agreement signed with WFP.
The training that held on Saturday 17August, 2024 at Faith building Che Street Bamenda brought together over 50 main staff involved in the project.
According to the FLA signed with the World Food Program, COMINSUD collaboration with WFP will ensure the distribution of integrated food and nutritional assistance to crisis-affected populations in parts of Momo and Mezam Divisions in the North West Region of Cameroon. The 5-month agreement that ends in December 2024 concerns Bafut, Bali, Mbengwi, Batibo and Widikum sub-divisions. 6527 families are expected to benefit from this phase of the project.
The training was aimed at evaluating the first half of the project implementation, strengthen the capacities of frontline field staff in the general food distribution activities following the standard operating procedures and also to strengthen the capacities of 27 Community Health Workers on nutrition activities.
Supervisors, Cluster leads and Community health workers from the Widikum, Mbengwi, Bafut, Batibo and Bali subdivisions also received training on dealing with malpractices at distribution points, Gende- Based-Violence, protection, community engagement to contribute to conflict resolution, logistics guide, interpreting and using the waybill and nutrition activities.
COMINSUD has been partnering with WFP since 2019 to assist IDPs and vulnerable persons in the North West Region of Cameroon affected by a 7-year socio-political crisis. According to Human Rights Watch at least 6,000 civilians have been killed by both government forces and armed separatist fighters since late 2016 in the North-West and South-West regions, as armed separatist groups seek independence for the country’s minority Anglophone Regions.
