As activities gather steam in the country, the question of who is a rural woman and how does she surmount her challenges is being addressed.
In Cameroon, a rural woman is considered as one who dwells in a rural area and depends largely on agriculture, livestock, fishing and mining.
Cameroon’s rich landscape makes her activities relatively easy even though she faces a number of challenges including access to funding.
Cameroon’s rural woman has however been exposed to a number of positive changes that has affected her mentality, over the years.
This mentality change, most of the women argue is thanks to their affiliation to little groupings and associations where they have been made to understand they are worth more than just the farmlands and the animals they rear.
Having been taught how to develop their businesses and introduced into other self-reliant activities including “njangis”, the issue of funding is being partly addressed.
The Government of Cameroon through the Ministry of Women Empowerment and the Family has also been actively involved in upgrading the status of rural women.
Their production rate has increased due to the training, counselling and donation of farm tools and seedlings they frequently benefit from Government.
These notwithstanding, the rural woman in Cameroon still faces some setbacks including insufficient access to information, inaccessible roads, isolation, influence of stereotypes and difficult access to land amongst others.

fourth, Ben Medina, was flying in at a later date). Alex Mendolia and

flight but were excited to be in Africa. After spending the night in
Douala, they left early for the 7 hour drive to Bali. Upon the arrival
in Bali, the coaches were greeted by a parade of cars and motorcycles
that paraded them through the town to the field. There, the people of
Bali held an opening ceremony where they sang the Cameroonian anthem and
had all the players shake the coaches hands. Then they had a
traditional tribal dance that the coaches took part in. Representatives
from the US Embassy also greeted the group. The next day the group got

youth teams the following day. Please stayed tuned for more updates on

Selon le Minefop, bien que l’économie ait généré de nombreux emplois, le sous-emploi demeure préoccupant. Une enquête camerounaise auprès des ménages indique d’ailleurs qu’il est passé de 71,1% en 2007 à 79,0% en 2014. Précision, le secteur informel, bien qu’en baisse, reste prépondérant. Les chiffres actuels l’attestent avec 90,3% pour 2007 et 88,6 % en 2014. Pour donner la chance à tous, il sera question d’accroître la communication sur le travail décent des jeunes et sur la promotion et le développement de l’entreprenariat ainsi que la promotion de la gouvernance du marché de l’emploi des jeunes. Toutes les couches sociales seront prises en compte, notamment les handicapés, les pygmées et les Mbororos.
