The focus to this study is to make an appraisal on the different agricultural extension delivery approaches that are used to disseminate agricultural innovations to Mbororo Fulani women in the North West region of Cameroon. The study was done between January 2018 to May 2020 and involved only Mbororo Fulani women between the ages of 21-60 years. Primary data was collected through the use of structured questionnaires, observations, focus groups and Interview guides. While secondary data was collected through the study of books, journals, research projects and scientific articles. Multistage sampling techniques were used to select the female farmers for the study. 400 questionnaires were administered randomly to Mbororo women in Mezam, Momo, Boyo, and Donga-Mantung Divisions of the North West Region of Cameroon. Statistical package for social science (SPSS) was used for data analysis and the spearman correlation coefficient test was equally used to verify the hypothesis. Results from the study revealed that farmer field school (37%) and participatory approach (47%) are the most common extension approaches used to provide agricultural innovations to the Mbororo Fulani women in the North West region of Cameroon. Also, the study noted that Mbororo Fulani women in the North West region have limited knowledge about extension delivery approaches needed to bring about innovations in the agricultural sector which they are greatly involved.  It is therefore recommended that Policy makers in agricultural extension related issues, should develop gender sensitive measures to increase Mbororo Fulani women in education and training that can create awareness on the application of extension delivery approaches in the agricultural sector which the find themselves as active participants and this can be done through the creation of Mbororo Fulani female farmer’s cooperatives.

The Impact

Mbororo Fulani women are experiencing transformation in their livelihood through livestock farming. This paper investigates the contributions of livestock farming to the wellbeing of the Mbororo Fulani women of the North West region of Cameroon. Mbororo women in the North West region play different roles to contribute to the growth of the livestock sector in Cameroon but lack technological knowledge and extension services to improve on their livestock activities. The study used primary data gotten through structured questionnaires and secondary data from journals, books and work from other researchers. The simple random sampling was used to select 400 Mbororo women for the study and SPSS was used for data analysis. The study reveals that 61% of Mbororo women are engage in livestock farming. 20.4% of the women keep different categories of livestock extension (sheep, goat, poultry etc). 89% of the women do livestock farming for income generation and as a means to increase proteins needs for their families. Therefore, livestock is an important source of revenue to Mbororo Fulani women in the North West region of Cameroon thus Cameroon government should put more efforts to assist these Mbororo women in livestock farming by providing them with modern innovations through extension services and resources needed to expand on livestock farming.

This study examines the importance of forestry-related sectors relative to other resource sectors in the North West Region (NWR) of Alberta and the Alberta economy as a whole. A supply-side input-output analysis is conducted to achieve this task. The results indicate that the logging sector has the greatest potential among all resource sectors in generating output in Alberta for every additional unit of capital input. In the NWR, the pulp and paper sector is shown to be the key sector in generating output when compared to the other resource sectors. However, both logging and pulp and paper sectors are only next to the agricultural sector in generating employment for each unit of capital input. Results show that the energy sector has the least potential in generating output and employment both in the province and region.

This chapter evaluates the link that exists between ICTs and the promotion of agricultural activities. It presents forms of ICTs within the region, agricultural practices, and how they interact to enhance development. Qualitative and quantitative research designs were adopted with the use of semi-structured interviews and observation and questionnaires. Data derived was coded and analyzed using appropriate statistical procedures to come out with the following findings: diverse forms of ICTs, both traditional and modern, are available for the population of the North West Region; agricultural activities in the North West Region were found to be diverse though subsistence; ICTs present were found to be very significant in promoting agricultural activities in the region. Despite the problems that hinder the integration of ICTs in the agricultural sector of the region, increased capital and training will help boost this sector and enhance the socio-economic development of the region.

The lucid engagements of stakeholders in land management is an essential strategy in circumventing the stakes of land utilisation. This is symptomatic in ecumenes of intricate ecological traits with diverse stakeholders’ management interests. Bui Division of the North West Region of Cameroon, a citadel of stakeholders enmeshed and is manning their respective lands with signatures of rare plausible interaction options in a decentralisation framework. As such, the study sought to assess the stakeholders’ interaction options for land management in Bui Division. A historical and comparative research designs were used to obtain primary and secondary data from 1971-2021. This was through questionnaires, formal and informal interviews from 16.9% of population in 505 households and direct observations with consultation of published and unpublished documents. Data was analysed using inferential statistics with the Anova Test at 0.05 at a critical level and a df of 7 to determine the significant differences in stakeholders’ interaction options for land management. The results reveal the calculated values of 0.9, 8, 3.9, 3.6 and 8.3 higher than the tabulated ratios of 0.65, 0.000, 0.001, 0.002 and 0.000 respectively. This indicates that there were significant differences in stakeholders’ interaction options in land management based on stakeholders’ activities and interests. Multiple stakeholders’ collaborative and participatory interaction options were positively apt in diverse sectors of land management. The study posits that participatory interaction through multi-stakeholders’ involvements and collaborations are the best options to minimise the deprived perceptions of under representation of some stakeholders in land management platforms in Bui Division.

This research work examines the activities of COMINSUD; a Non-Governmental organisation responsible for the distribution of food and health aid to the Internally Displaced People (IDP) in Cameroon North West region as a result of socio-economic and political instability in the country’s Anglophone regions. A qualitative and quantitative approach was used to collect primary data with the help of interviews, observation, questionnaires and focus group discussions. Field work results indicates that though COMINSUD provides considerable support for IDPs who have access to the organization’s services in urban centers, those in remote rural and inaccessible areas with poor topography and dense forest lack access to these vital support services; unless they move to urban areas to meet the service providers. Consequently, vast majority of IDPs living in poor and deplorable conditions are deprived from these services as a result of both natural and man-made conditions that affect movement from these enclave areas. To ensure adequate supplies of food and health aid to the vulnerable masses, there is need for government and its agencies to provide an enabling environment and infrastructure including security to protect service providers from the extremes of war in the region.

The economic disparity that occurred in Badung Regency, Bali was caused by the rapid development of tourism that does not align with the development of the agricultural sector in the north. This then pushed the Pelaga Tourism Village millennial to urbanize into the southern regions to continue education and to obtain employment. This research aims to analyze the role that millennials can do as cross-cutting interpreters in the development of Pelaga Tourism Village. This research uses qualitative data with two data sources: primary data and secondary data. The data collection techniques used in this research are library studies, observations, interviews, and documentation. In determining the informants is used as a purposive sampling technique. In this study, the data analysis technique used is descriptive-qualitative. The results showed that the role of the millennial generation in the development and management of tourism villages has been very minimal. This is very unfortunate considering the millennial has the ability as cross-cutting interpreters and as well as rich in innovation and much-needed creativity in the development of tourism villages. The role that can be performed by millennials in developing tourist villages is by establishing BUMDes as an organization for tourism village management. Millennials should also conduct mapping and development of several tourism potentials in each Banjar by prioritizing the aspect of diversification. At the marketing and promotion stage, millennials who are technologically literate can utilize digital media as a means to introduce and offer tourism products.

This article argues that the number of unprosecuted human traffickers is growing in Cameroon. This article aims to examine Cameroonian government officials, prosecutors and judiciary attitudes to human trafficking laws, which endanger Cameroonians. This article is an empirical study of victims of human trafficking. It takes an objective look at Cameroon's anti-trafficking law that criminalises the trafficking of adults and children. It is evident that societal discrimination towards the North West region, lack of opportunities for free education or to a trade post-primary school and the lack of enforcement of the anti-trafficking law are making combating human trafficking an arduous task.
