  CAEPA is on the frontline to helping to reduce disaster risk. While CAEPA was founded by women to improve agricultural practices to make them more sustainable, it has expanded its activities to be able to act on a much wider front, as the root causes of the unequal distribution and access to resources is intrinsically linked to many other problems, both environmental, social, and gender-linked. Therefore, it is necessary to tackle the root causes. Bamenda city council area is subject to many disaster risks, causing intense suffering and hopelessness. In the midst of this humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by the Anglophone Conflict, urgent action is needed to improve people’s quality of life and take away the deep-rooted fears of death, violence, injury, and loss of assets, etc. The animated video will help CAEPA's appeal to policy makers and implementers for remediation of the situation of people of Bamenda City area in NW Cameroon.
