To realize this objective, the Mixed Research method was adopted to collect and analyze data. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with officials of the EHAP in Bamenda, while 20 IDPs, who are beneficiaries of EHAP\u2019s humanitarian assistance, were surveyed. Observations were another instrument for data collection. Information obtained were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 20.0. Beside this Method, the Instrumentalist Theory to Gender in Humanitarian Aid was equally employed as an analytical instrument to determine the gender dimension of EHAP\u2019s humanitarian assistance to IDPs. Based on these, findings have demonstrated that the objectives of EHAP as defined in the decree creating it have not taken into account issues related to gender, especially those relating to the integration of women and girls, who are the highest victims affected during armed conflict, into the main processes of humanitarian assistance. Another significant finding demonstrated that even though these IDPs have benefited from food items and non food items, such as mattresses, toiletries and money from EHAP, these donations remain unsustainable since most of them are unable to cater for their necessities in the long run. This state of affairs is accounted for by limited funds, administrative bottlenecks, insufficient personnel and insecurity. It is on this basis that for EHAP\u2019s humanitarian assistance to be gender representative in its nature there is the urgent need for gender issues to take central stage in all its process from decision making to implementation.\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Key Words: Gender Analysis, humanitarian assistance, Anglophone crisis, Emergency Humanitarian Assistance Plan, internally displaced persons (IDPs).\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>R\u00e9sum\u00e9 : <\/b>Cet article s\u2019est concentr\u00e9 sur la dimension genre de l\u2019aide humanitaire fournie par le Plan humanitaire d\u2019urgence du gouvernement camerounais aux personnes d\u00e9plac\u00e9es internes issues de la crise anglophone dans la r\u00e9gion du Nord-Ouest. Pour atteindre cet objectif, les techniques qualitative et quantitative ont \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9es pour collecter et analyser les donn\u00e9es. Les donn\u00e9es ont \u00e9t\u00e9 collect\u00e9es gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des entretiens avec des responsables de Plan humanitaire d\u2019urgence du gouvernement camerounais \u00e0 Bamenda, tandis que 20 personnes d\u00e9plac\u00e9es internes, b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiaires de\u00a0cette aide humanitaire, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 interrog\u00e9es. Les observations \u00e9taient un autre instrument de collecte de donn\u00e9es. Les informations obtenues ont \u00e9t\u00e9 analys\u00e9es \u00e0 l&#8217;aide du logiciel statistique pour les sciences sociales version 20.0. Parall\u00e8lement \u00e0 cette technique, la th\u00e9orie instrumentaliste du genre dans l\u2019aide humanitaire a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 utilis\u00e9e comme instrument analytique pour d\u00e9terminer la dimension genre de l\u2019aide humanitaire du gouvernement camerounais aux personnes d\u00e9plac\u00e9es interne. Sur cette base, les constats ont d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que les objectifs du plan d&#8217;aide humanitaire d&#8217;urgence tels que d\u00e9finis dans le d\u00e9cret qui l\u2019a cr\u00e9\u00e9 n&#8217;ont pas pris en compte les questions li\u00e9es au genre, notamment celles li\u00e9es \u00e0 l&#8217;int\u00e9gration des femmes et des filles, qui sont les plus grandes victimes touch\u00e9es lors des conflits arm\u00e9s, dans les principaux processus de l\u2019aide humanitaire. Une autre d\u00e9couverte importante a d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que m\u00eame si ces personnes d\u00e9plac\u00e9es ont b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 de produits alimentaires et non alimentaires, tels que des matelas, des articles de toilette et de l&#8217;argent issue de ces Plan humanitaire d\u2019urgence, ces dons restent non durables puisque la plupart d&#8217;entre eux sont incapables de subvenir \u00e0 leurs besoins \u00e0 long terme. Cet \u00e9tat de choses s&#8217;explique par des fonds limit\u00e9s, la complexit\u00e9 de proc\u00e9dures administratives, un personnel insuffisant et l&#8217;ins\u00e9curit\u00e9. C\u2019est sur cette base que, pour que l\u2019aide humanitaire du Plan humanitaire d\u2019urgence soit par nature repr\u00e9sentative du genre, il est urgent que les questions de genre occupent une place centrale dans tout son processus, de la prise de d\u00e9cision \u00e0 la mise en \u0153uvre.\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Mots cl\u00e9s : Analyse du genre, Aide Humanitaire, Crise Anglophone, Plan d&#8217;aide Humanitaire d&#8217;urgence, Personnes D\u00e9plac\u00e9es Interne.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3fe9a244 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"3fe9a244\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/cregrisa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/MOOUTUREPOLITOSCOPE4-MENGNJO.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-file-pdf\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M369.9 97.9L286 14C277 5 264.8-.1 252.1-.1H48C21.5 0 0 21.5 0 48v416c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h288c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V131.9c0-12.7-5.1-25-14.1-34zM332.1 128H256V51.9l76.1 76.1zM48 464V48h160v104c0 13.3 10.7 24 24 24h104v288H48zm250.2-143.7c-12.2-12-47-8.7-64.4-6.5-17.2-10.5-28.7-25-36.8-46.3 3.9-16.1 10.1-40.6 5.4-56-4.2-26.2-37.8-23.6-42.6-5.9-4.4 16.1-.4 38.5 7 67.1-10 23.9-24.9 56-35.4 74.4-20 10.3-47 26.2-51 46.2-3.3 15.8 26 55.2 76.1-31.2 22.4-7.4 46.8-16.5 68.4-20.1 18.9 10.2 41 17 55.8 17 25.5 0 28-28.2 17.5-38.7zm-198.1 77.8c5.1-13.7 24.5-29.5 30.4-35-19 30.3-30.4 35.7-30.4 35zm81.6-190.6c7.4 0 6.7 32.1 1.8 40.8-4.4-13.9-4.3-40.8-1.8-40.8zm-24.4 136.6c9.7-16.9 18-37 24.7-54.7 8.3 15.1 18.9 27.2 30.1 35.5-20.8 4.3-38.9 13.1-54.8 19.2zm131.6-5s-5 6-37.3-7.8c35.1-2.6 40.9 5.4 37.3 7.8z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">T\u00e9l\u00e9charger l'article<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This write-up has focused on the gender analysis of humanitarian assistance provided by the Cameroon government\u2019s Emergency Humanitarian Plan (EHAP) to internally displaced persons (IDPs) of the Anglophone Crisis in the North West Region.
