The Hotel of Deputies in Yaoundé hosted yesterday, Wednesday August 02, 2023, the launch ceremony of the selection campaign for 25 project leaders. This is a prelude to the holding of the 3th edition of the Forum on the financing of private entrepreneurship which will take place on August 8 and 9, 2023 at the Yaoundé convention center and on August 17 at the headquarters of the Cameroon Inter-employer Group (Gicam) in Douala, the country’s economic capital.
The first wave of project leaders was selected yesterday, Wednesday August 2, by the Network of Parliamentarians for the Promotion of Private Entrepreneurship, in the presence of Alphonse Goueth, sponsor of the promotion.
According to the organizers of the event, the 25 project leaders selected at the end of the process across the 10 regions, will benefit from support in legal training and the implementation of a company capable of imposing itself. in the business world.
This selection is made in a context where the tough competition imposed by South African and Nigerian companies, among others within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (Zlecaf), obliges the Cameroonian government to do everything possible to overcome the institutional, infrastructural and financial shortcomings that weaken entrepreneurship.
The Network of Parliamentarians for the Promotion of Private Entrepreneurship will support 75 companies for two years. For now, the pilot phase of the project concerns only the Far North, Center and Littoral regions.
These project leaders will be supported in the areas of: Marketing/communication; construction and real estate, digital economy, circular economy and sanitation waste management and finally fish production, distribution and processing.
The jury of experts is made up of Alphonse Goueth, 5th deputy mayor in charge of ecological transition in the municipality of Marlenheim in France; a representative of the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises, Social Economy and Handicrafts (Minpmeesa), the Vice-President of the Cameroon Business Women’s Association (GFAC) and observers.
