A WORD FROM THE MINISTER

The implementation of the Youth Plan.

The implementation of the Youth Plan is an efficient response and a bold step taken by the State in its willingness to ensure, with renewed determination, the empowerment of the Cameroonian youth, whose vulnerability has been significantly compounded by the effects of the global economic crisis.

Given its operational nature, the Youth Plan offers youths a set of specific programmes that provide strategies and concrete solutions to their major concerns, including among others:

All these things contribute to the success of the Greater Achievements Policy and to our common aspiration to make Cameroon an emerging nation, rooted in solid institutions, democratic, prosperous and respected in Africa and in the world.
In this regard, the Youth Plan is a comprehensive therapy that aims at making the youth, in the medium term, the driving force of national development in its economic, social and cultural dimensions. It aims to be an instrument of moral rearmament and a lever for mobilising youths for the major national projects of the day: the revival of economic growth, governance and the fight against corruption, and the improvement of citizens’ living conditions.

SPEECH OF THE HEAD OF STATE TO THE YOUTH

58th Edition of the Youth Day - Message of the Head of State

I can't stress this enough. Self-employment is one of the best routes to socio-professional integration, given the impossibility for the State and the private sector to absorb the ever-increasing volume of young people entering the job market every year.

The Triennial Plan Spécial Jeunes, launched in 2016, is in line with this logic. It has already funded thousands of projects for young people.
In the same vein, the Program for the Promotion of
Entrepreneurship Program has contributed to the creation of over 12,000
new businesses in 2023. These generated nearly 22
thousand direct jobs.
This progress is certainly encouraging. But, as I am well aware
remain insufficient in relation to the number of young people
young people looking for work.
That's why I invite you to seize the opportunities offered by
the implementation of the Triennial Integrated Import-Substitution Plan
2024-2026, to engage in production activities.
They will enable you not only to be useful to your country
your country, but also find the means to support yourselves.
your needs.
