The "Programme for the Economic and Social Development of Secondary Cities Exposed to Instability Factors (PRODESV)" targets areas hosting refugees, internally displaced persons and other migrants in Cameroon. The project supports 15 secondary cities in the North West and South West Provinces. Support is provided through the implementation of communal projects – esp. construction of public infrastructure - building on an approach based on the integration of local entrepreneurship, vocational training and labour-intensive works (HIMO). The Project is implemented by the Equipment Special Fund for Mutual Assistance (FEICOM), which is a national agency in charge of financing municipal projects and supporting local development throughout Cameroon.

The objective is to strengthen the capacity of secondary cities to cope with crises, accommodate new arrivals and promote inclusive communal socio-economic development in an environmentally friendly manner, in order to contribute to strengthening regional stability and better migration management in Cameroon.
