ICAM, Initiative for Health and Development in Cameroon

ICAM is determined to end preventable deaths, improve lives, reduce poverty, and empower people and communities to enable them meet their needs through multisectoral high impact interventions in primary health care, basic education, social work, and emergency response. We’re helping the world get it done by engaging leaders, rallying the public, developing innovative new approaches and delivering life-saving services and education to families across Cameroon. Founded in 2009 and operating in the most vulnerable zones affected with disease, poverty and insecurity, ICAM has had incredible success improving lives across Cameroon. Maternal and child mortality remains high in Cameroon and huge regional, socio-economic and gender disparities exist in health and education service coverage. ICAM is supporting the scaling up proven interventions including vaccination, increasing access to life saving commodities, promoting healthy behaviours and strengthening health systems, as well as increasing access and improving basic education especially for the most disadvantaged children, including orphans, girls and children with disabilities. We need more resources, greater global collaboration, and dedicated community stakeholders and top-notch employees at ICAM to end preventable maternal and child deaths and increase educational outcomes for the most disadvantaged.
