Context and justification\n<br>The 6th report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2022 confirms the evidence of climate change and its harmful effects on socio-economic \n<br>development and ecosystems. This report particularly reveals the highly vulnerable nature of Africa toclimate change and highlights the multiple risks and impacts \n<br>already experienced by the continent. In the countries of the Horn of Africa, it has been observed that extreme droughts cause agricultural losses, resulting in a \n<br>lack of access to food for the population. In 2011, around 12.4 million people were suffering from famine in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia (FAO, 2011). The \n<br>search for solutions to the negative effects of climate disruption on development sectors is, therefore, becoming a priority for African countries.\n<br>In Cameroon, climate change is reflected, among other things, in the disruption of the onset and end dates of the rainy seasons, the decrease in rainfall amounts, \n<br>the poor distribution of the number of rainy days, the multiplication of extreme climate events (floods, extreme droughts, violent winds, sandstorms and haze, \n<br>etc.). The corollary of all these effects of climate change is the disruption of agricultural and livestock activities, the upsurge in crop pathologies, the loss of \n<br>biodiversity, conflicts over the management of natural resources, food insecurity, population migration and the degradation of ecosystems. <br>6\n<br>www.onacc.cm \u2013 Email: infos@onacc.cm www.minader.cm\n<br>The absence of forecasts and baseline information on these disasters increases the country&rsquo;s vulnerability to climate change (PNACC 2015, National \n<br>Communications 2005 and 2015, PAN-LCD 2006, NBSAP 2012). \n<br>Cameroon, aware of the stakes of this global phenomenon for its socio-economic development, has committed itself to processes of mitigation and adaptation to \n<br>climate change, notably the ratification of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, adherence to the Kyoto Protocol and, most recently, the \n<br>signature and ratification of the Paris Agreement. To better monitor the commitments made under the aforementioned Conventions and Protocols, the Head of \n<br>State has created and made the National Observatory on Climate Change (NOCC) operational, entrusting its main mission to \u201cmonitor and assess the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of climate change, and propose preventive, mitigating and\/or adaptation measures to the harmful effects and \n<br>risks associated with these changes.\u201d. In collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER), the Observatory produces an \n<br>agricultural calendar each season, specific to the agro-ecological zones. This is a decision-making and advisory tool for agricultural activities and adaptation to \n<br>the effects of climate change. From March to May 2026, a specific agricultural calendar has been produced for the Mono and Bimodal rainforest zones, as well as\n<br>the Western Highlands. \n<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.minader.cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-FIRST-CROPPING-SEASON-AGRICULTURAL-CALENDAR-FOR-THE-GRAND-SOUTH.pdf\">2026 FIRST CROPPING SEASON AGRICULTURAL CALENDAR FOR THE GRAND SOUTH<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.minader.cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-FIRST-CROPPING-SEASON-AGRICULTURAL-CALENDAR-FOR-THE-GRAND-SOUTH.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download>T\u00e9l\u00e9charger<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INTRODUCTION 1.1.
