Over 150 Young Entrepreneurs. One Mission. Total Impact! 🌟
On Friday, February 13, 2026, ZEFA took over the MINEPAT conference hall for the second cohort of our Youth Empowerment program! We gathered over 150 young entrepreneurs of Buea, Limbe, and Tiko, aged 18–35, to master the art of Strategic Business Planning and Concept Design.
This is to prepare them for future entrepreneurial opportunities
🚪 With the recent launch of the Business Plan Competition Program of the Adaptive Safety Net and Economic Inclusion Project, the Cameroon government, through the World Bank, is offering non-refundable grants to boost sectors like: Agribusiness, Digital & Technology, Textile & Clothing, Leather, Construction, Woodworks, Metal & Steel, and Pharmaceuticals ..., operating both in the formal and informal sectors. ZEFA is here to ensure that our young entrepreneurs don't just apply, they WIN.
We invited Experts in the field to train these Entrepreneurs on different topics:
✅Dr. Asaah Gladys, The Director of Pan African Institute for Development West Africa (PAID-WA) handled the Intensive training on writing Winning Business Plans.
✅Dr.Andin Ntali, an environmentalist in the University of Buea trained on Learning to build "Green Businesses" that protect our environment.
✅Miss Ebai Blanche, the founder of GWI and a professional Speaker, trained on Pitching Techniques and Presentation skills.
✅️Mr. Anu Bryan Nkwetta , C.E.O of ZeeGo Company, trained on structuring a Compelling Concept Note that would suffice donor expectations.
✅️Mr. Fongoh Tayong, the Founder of Tech Chantier shared a talk of his entrepreneurial journey on the topic "5 Silent Killers that Destroyed My First Business."
Afterwards, a practical role play session took place and this gave participants the room to practice what they had learnt , share their business ideas and also network with one another. The conference ended on high note with participants feeling grateful and ready to take on Business challenges.
A big thank you to all facilitators of the program and to the Host and founder of Zotah Elizabeth Fussongu Foundation, Mr Nkengfac Louis.
