The future of Cameroon’s economy will be shaped by the investments, innovations, and enterprises led by its young people.
For this reason, I am pleased to announce the National Youth Economic Forum (NAYEF 2026), a national platform dedicated to advancing youth economic participation, entrepreneurship, investment, and inclusive growth.
Held under the patronage of the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Regional Development (MINEPAT), with UNDP Cameroon as Official Partner, NAYEF 2026 will convene government leaders, development partners, investors, private sector actors, entrepreneurs, academia, media professionals, and youth representatives from across the country.

Theme:
“Youth Enterprise, Investment & Inclusive Growth”
The Forum will provide a platform for high-level policy dialogue, investment conversations, entrepreneurship and innovation discussions, capacity-building exchanges, and the adoption of the Yaoundé Youth Economic Commitment 2026.
As we work towards a more competitive and inclusive economy, meaningful collaboration between young people, government institutions, development partners, and the private sector has never been more important.
