Speaking at the exhibition points, Resident Coordinator of United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Allegra Baiocchi, said Cameroon is advancing positively in an effort to realise the 17 goals on the SDGs agenda. She stated that the country had successfully completed the prioritisation phase of the goals and will therefore in the near future direct resources towards their realisation for the collective benefit of all.
With the target in Cameroon aimed at having a poverty-free country, reduction in fear and violence, promotion in the respect of human rights, she said, the United Nations will therefore continue to collaborate with the government to see that the goals are reached within the stated timeframe. Allegra Baiocchi clearly said the UN and its family of agencies present in the country are engaged in a vast array of work that seeks to improve the lives and living standards of everybody. "The United Nations is very present in Cameroon in multidimensional disciplines. We are involved in the promotion of good health, education, and environmental protection as well as humanitarian actions. Our priority areas of intervention are the Adamawa, East, North and Far North regions given that these are the regions most vulnerable and most affected," she stated.
The UN Resident Coordinator urged all partners to actively partake for the target to be reached and the development. Cameroon - UN Displays Presence in Cameroon.
