Our activities are centred on two impact areas.

• Increasing Production, Income and Employment:

SNV supports organisations working in the forestry sector thereby enhancing the economic inclusion of the poor in forest value chains of Timber and Non Timber Forests Products (NTFP). We also work on improving legal/institutional framework and governance issues in the forest sector, improving access to markets for NTFP, and improving the management of the community forests.

We also support actors working on livestock in the North West and Extreme Northern regions. Work in this sector aims at enhancing pastoralists’ participation in processes geared towards increasing their sustainable and equitable access to pastoral resources (land and water). 

•  Increasing access to Basic Services:

In the area of Basic Services (water and health), SNV Cameroon continues to boost social inclusion and equity, strengthen the capacities of local actors in budget tracking (public finance for basic services) both at national and regional level, with particular focus on promoting the sustainability of services.

Improving access to quality health services by the poor and marginalised with particular focus on women and children is our main goal in the health sector.  

We work for an efficient, sustainable and equitable access to safe drinking water. Our focus in this sector is on improving the number of poor people that have access to sufficient quantities of safe drinking water in rural and semi-urban areas.

Biogas as a source of renewable energy is an innovative sector for SNV Cameroon. We aim at enabling poor and intermediate revenue people to have sustainable access to renewable sources of energy.
