Cameroon's long-standing partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has been solidified with the approval of its 9th Country Cooperation Program. The program, set to run from 2027 to 2031, is valued at an indicative $50 million.

This new initiative was officially validated by the UNFPA Executive Board in New York on August 27, 2026. It is designed to focus on the well-being of populations and leverage the demographic dividend. The program's framework is closely aligned with Cameroon's National Development Strategy (SND30) and the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF).

The Cameroonian government, represented by its Permanent Mission, expressed strong support for the program. The mission noted with satisfaction the alignment with national and UN frameworks. This approval marks the continuation of a significant partnership that commenced in 1969, underscoring a sustained commitment to development goals.

My delegation notes with satisfaction the alignment of the document with the SND30 and the UNSDCF framework. The Government expresses its firm support for the 9th Country Program and invites the Board to approve it.
