Technical support on social inclusion and translation from informal to formal sector

This project aims at promoting social inclusion for workers in the informal economy and fostering transition to the formal economy. The focus is on improving the knowledge base about the informal economy in Cameroon and on supporting the development of mechanisms and measures to advance formalization. This will involve in-depth analysis of the nature of informal enterprises, with a particular focus on women and youth. The capacity of tripartite constituents and other national stakeholders to engage in dialogue about the formalization of enterprises, in particular the extension of social protection, will be strengthened. It is envisaged that a roadmap will be developed, through a participatory approach involving the tripartite constituents, for the transition of informal enterprises towards formalization. Work will be undertaken in close cooperation with and support from various line ministries, universities and research institutes, and associations of workers in the informal economy, and benefits from interventions undertaken in the framework of ongoing development cooperation programmes addressing specific aspects of the informal economy.
