ABSTRACT

Over the past decade, donors have engaged faith-based organisations (FBOs) in health system reforms and health programmes in many sub-Saharan African countries, including Cameroon. Little knowledge is available concerning the types of FBOs that exist in the health sector in Cameroon. This article describes the complex landscape of Christian FBOs operating in Cameroon’s health sector and provides an explanation for that diversity. It reflects on the implications of the use of the “FBO” acronym in Cameroon and argues that the FBO typology discussion is still relevant.

对喀麦隆卫生部门中基于信仰的组织的复杂格局的描述和解释

摘要

在过去的十年中，捐助者在包括喀麦隆在内的许多撒哈拉以南非洲国家与基于信仰的组织（FBO）进行了卫生系统改革和卫生计划。关于喀麦隆卫生部门中存在的FBO的类型知之甚少。本文介绍了在喀麦隆卫生部门经营的基督教FBO的复杂情况，并提供了这种多样性的解释。它反映了喀麦隆使用“ FBO”首字母缩略词的含义，并认为FBO类型学讨论仍然有意义。
