It's worth noting that this amount represents a 5.2% increase compared to the first phase of the project, which received funding of 36 million euros (approximately 23 billion FCFA) from 2018 to 2022.The Resilac II project covers three countries: Cameroon, Nigeria, and Chad. Present during the first phase, Niger has been excluded from the second phase, which is now underway. In Cameroon, this second phase will be mainly deployed in five municipalities in the Far North region, namely: Dargala, Mindif, Mora, Koza, and Tokombéré. The project is being implemented by a consortium of three international NGOs: Action Against Hunger, CARE Cameroon, and Groupe URD. According to CARE Cameroon, the Resilac II project will consist of three components. The first component aims to strengthen access to basic services, livelihoods, and social inclusion opportunities for displaced, returned, refugee populations, and vulnerable host communities.Component 2 will strengthen the capacities of authorities, community organizations, and civil society organizations at local, regional, and national levels to ensure social cohesion and management of natural resources around Lake Chad. As for Component 3, it will support economic recovery, promote cross-border trade through access to employment for men and women in diversified agro-sylvo-pastoral and fisheries production systems adapted to climate change. In Cameroon, Resilac II hopes to reach over 45,000 people, compared to 36,000 people supported during the first phase
