Loading Events

Background
Almost one in four people in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) were estimated to be undernourished in 2017, representing about one-third of the 821 million people suffering from chronic hunger globally (FAO et al., 2018). In addition to a high prevalence of chronic hunger in SSA, many more people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies (Joy et al., 2014; Kumssa et al., 2015; Harika et al., 2017). There is clear evidence that the global economy for agriculture and food system is changing; spurred on by rapid population rise, increase development and demand for agricultural commodities for biofuels. Africa, with no exception, is experiencing rapid population growth and urbanisation with major implications for food supplies (AFDB, 2015).
An investment in the agricultural sector of the economy with specific regards to the production and marketing of Snails and Fishes which are very rich in dietary protein and have high nutritious contents will have the following effects on the population: improved nutrition and health conditions, poverty alleviation and wealth creation, promotes entrepreneurship/job creation, income diversification, while promoting environmental sustainability and economic development.

In this light, the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Center (SBEC) at the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation which focuses on equipping entrepreneurs with organizational and business skills and enhance sustainable economic development is organizing a Workshop which will run for 4 days starting from Wednesday May, 26th to Saturday May 29th, 2021. This workshop is aimed at building the capacity of entrepreneurs on Fish and Snail production that will promote entrepreneurship and spur economic growth in Cameroon.
