ILO to boost Cameroonian SMEs.
ILO to boost Cameroonian SMEs.
The Minister of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, Social Economy and Handicrafts, Achille Basselikin III, and the International Labour Organisation, ILO, delegation, have perfected a plan to strengthen cooperation ties in order to speed up development in Cameroon.
ILO officials from the CEMAC Region represented the organisation at the working session in Yaounde. Reacting after the working session, Minister Achille Basselikin said the session was a rare occasion for the Cameroon government to learn how the ILO wants to help start-ups cushion the impact of Covid-19 on their activities.
“We have a good mastery now and we also know how the government can help firms to face this pandemic. We also had an opportunity to review, in the social economy sectors, how our national plan for the development of social economy is going to be implemented with the technical support of the ILO,” the Minister said.
Sharing Experience
The social economy project has to do with entrepreneurship, a domain in which the labour organisation has worked for so long. Cameroon therefore wants to take advantage and benefit from their wealth of experience.
“The ILO has developed some specific instruments in other countries. And where we see that, in terms of economic growth, these countries are very successful. We believe that such instruments can also be implemented in our country,” Minister Basselikin added.
It is therefore a matter of sharing experiences and adopting best practices found successful elsewhere. Many firms have had to lay off staff, either on temporary or long-term basis; some have done so without adequate knowledge on the labour law. The ILO’s technical support would be relieving to them.
In Africa, the ILO seeks to promote rights to work, encourage the creation of decent jobs, develop social protection and strengthen dialogue on work-related issues. In the last 60 years, it has been promoting employment in rural and informal economies, and has stressed the need to act to tackle youth unemployment. It has been committed to building comfortable working environments in a region where job security has been very questionable.
