I am Mr. Yves Stephane Ngaleu and currently working with the Cameroon Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development at the divisional delegation of Mfoundi - Center region - Cameroon. I am an extension for the GIZ and have experience with a project that deals with improving the competitiveness of family own farming exploitations (Le Programme d’Amélioration de la Compétitivité des Exploitations Familiales Agropastorales (ACEFA, http://www.acefa.cm/en/).
Family own farming exploitations have the possibility to have a good nutrition because most of the crops that are been sold in the big cities come from them. Where they have difficulties is the management of their finance and good knowledge on food nutrition.
Cooperatives and unions of cooperatives are being put in place to help farmers, these are very good initiative on which it will be more interesting if they add exchange section to empower farmers capacities on effective management of their revenue and good notion on food security and nutrition.
