UHC2030 member
UHC2030 joint vision progress
Cameroon joined IHP in 2010. A National Health Development Plan for 2011-2015 was prepared. In 2010 the Government of Cameroon and development partners published a joint declaration to mark the launch of a Health SWAp. In 2012, the national CSO FISS-MST/SIDA received a grant from the Health Policy Action Fund. Cameroon participated in the 5th IHP+ monitoring round which tracked progress on the implementation of eight practices for effective development cooperation (EDC). IHP+ membership was transferred to UHC2030 in 2016. Cameroon has validated a new Health Sector Strategy 2016-2027. It has also created in June 2015 a Technical National Group in charge of the implementation of UHC.
