Sanaga River blackfly control project continues

The Yaounde Initiative Foundation (YIF) is carrying out blackfly control on a part of the Sanaga River, funded by AES Sonel, an American/Cameroonian company which generates and distributes hydro-electricity in Cameroon. The numbers of blackflies have decreased from a very high level that was preventing workers carrying out their duties, and preventing rural populations farming and fishing, to almost zero.
