The radical withdrawal of the development agency USAID from several thousand projects made headlines around the world this spring. The effects on the ground are clearly noticeable and unrest is growing - including in Cameroon, a country that would be particularly dependent on broad support in the fight against HIV and tuberculosis.

To date, none of Mission 21's Cameroonian partner organizations have received direct funding from the US Agency for International Development. However, the USAID has made contributions to health centers and treatments that are run or carried out by our partner organizations, among others. In this respect, the effects are also noticeable in Mission 21's work. One of the main problems is the availability of urgently needed medicines: access to these is limited.

Also in this issue: Education is a hard-to-obtain commodity for indigenous women in the Andean highlands. Mission 21 enables women and young people to continue their education in order to leave poverty behind and to be prepared for the challenges posed by climate change and the fight against pollution in their region.
