Eastern Facade Factsheet 08_10_2026

Cameroon’s Eastern Façade, covering the East, Adamawa and North regions, hosts most of the country’s Central African Republic refugees, many displaced for more than a decade. More than 80% live in host communities. Funding cuts and pressure on services are deepening vulnerabilities. At the same time, 87.3% of refugees say they wish to remain in Cameroon, making inclusion, access to national services and self-reliance urgent priorities. UNHCR is shifting from emergency assistance to durable solutions, prioritising refugee inclusion in national systems, local development and self-reliance. Peaceful coexistence largely prevails despite mounting pressure on basic services and a decline in humanitarian funding
