EF 2024-25 · 2024-09-17

Résumé
This project aims to reduce poverty by strengthening economic rights of women and young girls in Cameroon. It is part of the 2021-2026 Five-Year Plan developed by the local partner Afrique Future Cameroun, which emphasizes rights and income-generating activities. This will allow women to provide answers to the real needs of their living environment. The activities of this project include: 1) supporting the five-year plan through a component focused on the financial autonomy of women and young girls. This autonomy must be achieved through individual and collective production, the development of markets for commercialization and a rights based component. These concern, in particular, their rights to physical health, land rights and the right to literacy and numeracy; 2) reach directly, 565 women and young girls, 100 leaders among men and young men and about twenty men who are traditional authorities. It also intends to reach 30 men and 20 women representatives of state structures and indirectly family members and populations of 19 localities of at least 3,000 people.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise la réduction de la pauvreté par le renforcement du pouvoir économique des droits des femmes et des jeunes filles au Cameroun. Il s’insère dans le Plan quinquennal 2021-2026 développé par le partenaire local Afrique Future Cameroun qui met l’emphase sur les droits et les activités génératrices de revenus. Ce qui va permettre aux femmes d’apporter des réponses aux besoins réels de leur milieu de vie. Les activités de ce projet comprennent : 1) appuyer le plan quinquennal à travers une composante axée sur l’autonomie financière des femmes et des jeunes filles. Cette autonomie doit passer par des productions individuelles et collectives, le développement des marchés pour la commercialisation et une composante basée sur leurs droits. Ceux-ci concernent, en particulier, leurs droits en santé physique, les droits fonciers et le droit à l’alphabétisation et à la numérative ; 2) toucher, directement, 565 femmes et jeunes filles, 100 leaders parmi les hommes et jeunes hommes et une vingtaine d’hommes étant des autorités traditionnelles. Il compte aussi toucher 30 hommes et 20 femmes représentants des structures étatiques et indirectement les membres des familles et des populations des 19 localités de 3000 personnes au minimum.
