We observe a profound gap between the two types of poverty in several regions, notably in the cities of Yaounde and Douala, where the caloric poverty rate among children is respectively 18.86% and 24.57%, while the corresponding levels of monetary poverty are just 5.4% and 6.3%. Cameroon’s two most northerly regions (the North and Far North regions) are far and away the regions which experience the greatest levels of caloric poverty. Nearly 3 in 5 children living in these two regions are in a state of caloric poverty. The total of the first group is equal to 62% of the second.
