The setec Foundation supports “Action pour l’Economie de Communion d’Afrique Centrale” (AECAC) in Yaoundé, Cameroon, as part of the Transition Funds. 
AECAC is an incubator for projects with high social and environmental impact, whose aim is to help a new generation of entrepreneurs grow towards an inclusive, sustainable economy. Its mission is to provide them with incubation services and a space for collaboration. These services are offered in a spirit of reciprocity, and the action consists of accompanying a project leader through the process of creating and developing a business to maturity.
The project carried out by the structure and supported by the setec Foundation aims to empower and socially and professionally integrate internally displaced women from the Anglophone crisis, an armed conflict that has been ongoing in the country since 2017.
The project, sponsored by Cynthia Tuwa Tangmo, setec Afrique, and with the support of her colleague Norbert Kouawa, targets 50 internally displaced women in Yaoundé.
The setec Foundation is supporting the project to the tune of 14,000 euros.
Objectives :
The aim of the project is to train 50 internally displaced women.
The actions will enable each trained woman to become autonomous in the management of small economic activities, and thus to emancipate themselves in their personal and professional lives, gradually lifting themselves out of extreme poverty.
Missions :
AECAC will guide and support these internally displaced women who already have skills and competencies in various fields such as sewing, hairdressing, shoe-making and others.
The internally displaced women will then receive training in small business management, followed by financial support for their activities. They will also receive technical support to help them sustain their economic activity in society.
An evaluation of the profitability and impact of the projects created on the daily lives of the beneficiaries will be carried out at the end of the project.
Schedule :
The project began in April 2024, and will be completed in September.
