Globalement, quel que soit le seuil de pauvreté fixé, la pauvreté non monétaire au Cameroun tend à être un phénomène davantage rural. Quant aux inégalités de santé, l'auteur montre qu'elles sont beaucoup plus le fait des inégalités intra-groupes ; et ces disparités restent élevées en zone urbaine et à l'intérieur du groupe des ménages dirigés par les hommes. Basée sur une méthodologie scientifique très précise, l'ouvrage permet aux décideurs de connaître l'évolution de la pauvreté non monétaire et également d'avoir une idée de la structure des inégalités de santé au Cameroun et d'accompagner l'élaboration et la mise en oeuvre des politiques publiques.

In the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Livingstone declaration, and the UN Social Protection Floor, this book deals jointly with multidimensional child poverty and social protection in Central and Western Africa. It focuses both on extent and types of social protection coverage and assesses various child poverty trends in the region. More importantly, it looks at social protection to prevent and address the consequences of child poverty. Child poverty is distinct, conceptually, and different, quantitatively, from adult poverty. It requires its own independent measurement--otherwise half of the population in developing countries may be unaccounted for when assessing p...

This 2012 Global Food Policy Report is the second in an annual series that provides an in-depth look at major food policy developments and events. Initiated in response to resurgent interest in food security, the series offers a yearly overview of the food policy developments that have contributed to or hindered progress in food and nutrition security. It reviews what happened in food policy and why, examines key challenges and opportunities, shares new evidence and knowledge, and highlights emerging issues. In 2012, world food security remained vulnerable. While talk about hunger and malnutrition was plentiful, it remains to be seen whether current and past commitments to invest in agriculture, food security, and nutrition will be met. New data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations suggest that the world will fall short of achieving the first Millennium Development Goal of halving the prevalence of undernutrition by 2015. Translating commitments into action is thus even more urgent.
