Capacity building of employers organisations in Cameroon

This project aims at strengthening the institutional capacity of employers’ organizations in the area of women’s entrepreneurship. An integrated approach will be pursued to promote the creation and sustainability of micro, small and medium enterprises run by women by addressing relevant factors such as the legal and cultural environment, access to finance and information, social protection, organization and representation, non-discrimination and family responsibilities. The strategy involves applying the various modules of the ILO’s Start and Improve Your Business (SYIB) programme in the external context that affects women’s entrepreneurship. The focus will be on a sustainable anchoring of these management training tools within the main network of employers’ organizations and to increase the support that business advisory services can provide to women entrepreneurs. Assistance will also include capacity building for women entrepreneurs in specific technical areas such as social dialogue, occupational safety and health, social protection, international labour standards, and HIV/AIDS.
