Youth Entrepreneurship Workshop.

26th Jan 2019

The Context

Youth unemployment in Cameroon is at an all-time high. Most university graduates cannot find jobs after school because government cannot accommodate all graduates, while private sector too has its own limitations. This number has been escalated recently due to the current socio-political situation in Cameroon. For the past two years, youths have not had full access to education.

The Problem

This increase in unemployment has caused Poverty and sad living conditions, high crime waves amongst youths, poor mental health due to frustration, radicalisation and extremism in youths and Brain Drain among others.

BeLA's Response (Solution)
