Background

In Cameroon, 80% of the businesses created die before their first 5 years of existence. Moreover, most of them remain in the informal sector. According to recent statistics from the National Institute of Statistics, about 90% of the labor force in Cameroon remains trapped in this sector. Women and youth are the most represented in this sector, due to a number of challenges they still face. In the agricultural sector, for example, Cameroonian women represent 71.6% of workers in the informal agricultural sector. Unfortunately, almost 52% of them still live below the poverty line and 79.2% of them are underemployed. This underemployment rate is estimated at 70% for youth. To address all the root causes of SME underperformance and access to employment in Cameroon, foster economic freedom, and empower both women and youth in the country, the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Center (SBEC) of the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation is implementing a project titled “Powering Prosperity and Economic Freedom for Women and Youths in Cameroon”.
