To bridge the gap and shift the disturbing 9 of every 10 women entrepreneurs from the informal sector to the formal sector, the International Labour Organisation (ILO), in collaboration with GICAM, have come up with a project to impact 300 women with business management and enterprise-creation skills. It will train 200 women in business management skills and 100 others in enterprise-creation skills. According to Vera Perdigao Paguete, Head of Labour Office in Cameroon, the emergence of the country cannot be complete without women. The project will encourage women to be self-reliant in order to better contribute to emergence, she said.
