Today, 28 September 2026, we joined diverse stakeholders for the 2nd Egumeni Dialogue – Cameroon National Consultation, bringing together women entrepreneurs, farmers and cooperatives, government representatives, financial institutions, private sector actors, development partners, civil society, researchers, community leaders, young women and representatives of vulnerable groups.
In the presence of a representative of the Minister of Women Empowerment and the Family, we engaged in a powerful panel discussion on:
“Where Do Women Stand? Gaps and Barriers”
We explored women’s access to finance, jobs, land, markets, entrepreneurship, banking and digital financial services, with particular attention to poor, rural and vulnerable women.
Through group discussions, participants also identified what is working and what more needs to be done by government, financial institutions, communities, the private sector and women themselves.
💡 Key priorities included improving access to affordable finance, strengthening women’s businesses and cooperatives, promoting digital and financial literacy, expanding market opportunities, addressing barriers to land and productive resources, and ensuring the meaningful inclusion of young and vulnerable women.
The dialogue was an important space for women’s voices, lived experiences and practical recommendations to contribute to the Cameroon National Consultation and the broader Egumeni Dialogue process.
🙏🏾 Thank you to all participants, partners, speakers and especially the representative of the Ministry of Women Empowerment and the Family for being part of this important conversation.
When women participate, communities and economies move forward. ✊🏾🌍
