Réunion d’internalisation des résolutions du Sommet Social Mondial de Doha & adoption du Rapport sur le Développement Social au Cameroun, Édition 2025

Le 30 décembre 2025 à Yaoundé, le Système des Nations Unies au Cameroun, représenté par son Coordonnateur Résident ad intérim M. Aboubacar GUINDO, a rejoint le MINAS et ses partenaires pour s'approprier de la Déclaration Politique de Doha.

Cette Déclaration appelle à des politiques anti‑pauvreté, au travail décent, à l’inclusion sociale et à un multilatéralisme renouvelé, soulignant le lien indissociable entre développement social, justice sociale, paix et durabilité.

Today, Resident Coordinator, Mr Issa Sanogo , joined Minister Marie Thérèse Abena Ondoa and development partners at the roundtable, united in our mission to end violence against girls and women through the Spotlight 2.0 initiative.

This holistic approach recognizes that violence against women and girls is not only a human rights violation but also a barrier to national development.
Why this matters:

• Every $1 invested in prevention generates $5.50 in economic returns.
• The economic cost of domestic violence per survivor is 1.7 times higher than Cameroon’s GDP.

By working together, we can build safer communities, empower survivors, and unlock economic growth. Spotlight 2.0 is more than a program—it is a call to action for dignity, safety, and progress.

Join us in supporting this initiative. Together, we can make equality and protection a reality for every girl and woman.
