Abuja, Nigeria – 29 November 2025 – Hope for a Better Future (H4BF) is proud to announce the successful completion of the Rapid Response Teams (RRT) Advanced Training Program, held from 24–29 November 2025 in Abuja, Nigeria.

Selected through a highly competitive process, H4BF participated in this prestigious training to enhance its ability to respond effectively in crisis-affected communities. The program focused on developing practical skills in outbreak investigation, case finding and contact tracing, infection prevention and control (IPC), emergency data management, and community engagement, complemented by hands-on simulations at Karu General Hospital.

This training reinforces H4BF’s mission, equipping our teams to act swiftly during outbreaks while also supporting communities in preparedness and resilience-building before emergencies occur.

Building on this experience, H4BF intends to support Cameroon’s national outbreak response system, particularly the Division of Disease Control / Epidemiology Units under the Ministère de la Santé Publique (MISANTE). By complementing government-led efforts, H4BF ensures faster, more effective interventions for vulnerable populations in Cameroon especially within North West and West regions of Cameroon (our current intervention zone).

We extend our sincere appreciation to the partners who made this opportunity possible: the LEARN Project team for coordinating the regional initiative, International Medical Corps (IMC) for leading the training implementation, Africa Humanitarian Action (AHA) for providing humanitarian expertise, Brigham Health – Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) for technical and global health support, and the Government of the United States of America for funding and supporting this vital program.

As H4BF applies these enhanced skills, our teams remain dedicated to protecting vulnerable families, improving community preparedness, and building stronger, more resilient communities across Cameroon.
