On Tuesday August 29, 2023, the BLP Cameroon team launched a new empowerment program for youths called: Young Men Entrepreneurship program.
The focus of the YME program is on Skills development, entrepreneurship, and mentorship for Young men ages 18 – 25. Second chance education, reintegration of young men into society torn apart by varying difficulties. If the goal of Gender mainstreaming is to achieve gender equality, then it requires gender-specific actions whenever men or women are in a disadvantaged position.
BLP strives for gender parity. Engaging young boys and men in the gender equality campaign require that we engage boys and young men positively empowering them with the necessary skills and tools to better understand and articulate issues of gender for women and girls.
This program was great success involving partners, government agencies, civil society organizations, trainers from different works of life, the media and parents were all present to brace this event
