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).

SUMMARY:Prosperity And Economic Freedom of Women: The Challenges Of Female Entrepreneurship In Cameroon
DESCRIPTION:Prosperity And Economic Freedom of Women: The Challenges Of Female Entrepreneurship In Cameroon \nDate: 26th May 2021  –  Time: 11:00 – 13:00\nVenue: Head Quarters of the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation\,  Yaoundé-Cameroon  (Register Here) \nBackground   \nWomen in Africa make up 58% of the self-employed population and are more likely than men to choose entrepreneurship not because they have a burning passion or the right skills\, but because of a lack of better opportunities. It is a well-known fact that if women participated in the global economy to the same degree as men\, the world economy would gain an additional $11 trillion in annual GDP. Studies show that women’s participation in the workforce contribute to the growth of a country’s economy \nThe Cameroon woman has for long been the economic backbone of the nation\, yet she remains largely marginalized in the society generally and in the economic sector in particular. The 2019 statistics from the UN Office of Coordination of Human Affairs (OCHA) in Cameroon shows that 39% of the national population lives below the poverty line and this rate rises to 51.5% for women with 79.2% of them are underemployed.  \nWomen are involved in so many income generating activities and various projects that helps to increase the country’s national wealth while creating jobs that enhances the advancement of women and the family (Nkafu DBI report\, 2020). Despite this recognized potential\, female entrepreneurs in Cameroon still faces enormous challenges (family constraints\, lack of education and training\, gender inequality\, difficulty to access finance\, fear of failure\, and timidity) that hinders them from achieving prosperity and economic freedom. The vast majority of Cameroon women\, regardless of educational level\, find themselves in a disadvantaged position in the economic sphere. Despite the clear economic and social gains\, numerous structural and cultural barriers impede women from entering\, remaining\, or advancing the business world. \nIt therefore against this framework that the Small Business Entrepreneurship Center (SBEC) of the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation seeks to promote the economic freedom and prosperity of female entrepreneurs in Cameroon by addressing the challenges they face. \nObjective of the panel discussion  \nThe main objective of this panel discussion is to promote the economic freedom and prosperity of female entrepreneurs in Cameroon by address their challenges. \nSpecifically;  \nTo examine the contribution of women in entrepreneurship to wealth creation To provide in-depth analysis of the female entrepreneurial ecosystem in Cameroon. \nExamine the current challenges of female entrepreneurship in Cameroon.  \nCritically assess government measures put in place to promote female entrepreneurship in Cameroon. \nIdentify and propose possible measures to ameliorate the conditions of women in entrepreneurship in Cameroon.  \nTarget audience:  \nEntrepreneurs\nExperts in Public Policy and Policymakers \nEconomists and Researchers \nCivil Society Organisations and other interested stakeholders \nMembers of SBEC Network \nGeneral public  \nExpected outputs and outcomes \nAt the end of the panel discussion\, they participants will understand;  \nThe contribution of women in entrepreneurs in wealth creation \nThe female entrepreneurial ecosystem in Cameroon \nCurrent challenges faced by female entrepreneurs and government measures put in place to promote female entrepreneurship in Cameroon\nThe possible measures needed to ameliorate the conditions of women in entrepreneurship in Cameroon.  \nPanelists \nBertha Yenwo Yiberla – President of the African Women in Leadership Organization Cameroon Chapter (AWLO)\nYolande Boyomo – Founder and CEO of Djefyns Hope Secrets\nDr Alphonsine Florine Tchokote – Delegate of Yaounde Agropastoral Entrepreneurs GIC and Director of DOSIFLORE\nIsabelle Kpwang – CEO and Founder of DK Group and Managing Director of Les Délices d’Isabelle \nOrganizers \nThis panel discussion is organised by the Small Business Entrepreneurship Center (SBEC) of the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation \nVenue and Date  \nThe panel discussion is scheduled for the 26th May 2021 at the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation Headquarters in Simbock\, Yaoundé-Cameroon from 9:00am to 13:00pm \nContact \nDenis and Lenora Foretia Foundation \nTel: (+237) 22 31 15 84 / 654 86 72 54/ 698 64 55 24 \ninfo@foretiafoundation.org\nREGISTER HERE
